About the Journal

Journal of International Studies (JIS) - Scope and Call for Papers

The Journal of International Studies (JIS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access publication that explores contemporary issues in International Relations and International Business. The journal emphasizes research that offers fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to understanding global interactions and dynamics across these interconnected fields.

Purpose

The Journal of International Studies aims to foster a deeper understanding of the complexities of international relations, business, and politics. By publishing research that bridges these domains, JIS seeks to contribute to the global scholarly conversation and support academics, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the interconnected global landscape.

Submissions must exhibit a clear and explicit connection to international relations and international business, firmly situating their analysis within global frameworks and dynamics. Articles that primarily address domestic issues will only be considered if they provide robust analysis that links these issues to broader international contexts. For comparative studies, the focus must remain on how the analysis contributes to understanding international relations or international business, rather than being confined to domestic implications.
