The Cambridge Review of International Affairs publishes excellent and innovative scholarship on international affairs, particularly in the fields of international relations, international law and international political economy. It is committed to diversity of approach and method and encourages the submission of multi- and inter-disciplinary academic contributions from academics and policymakers. Scholarly debate is promoted through the Cambridge Review of International Affairs' main format of thematic sections of about four or five articles debating theoretical, empirical and/or methodological questions, as well as its book review forums and responses. The journal also carries one special issue each year. The submission of articles from panels, workshops, etc for joint publication is encouraged (all articles will be individually peer reviewed and evaluated).

Peer Review
All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review. They are reviewed by at least three and usually around five reviewers. In the first round of peer reviewing, a majority of reviewers must recommend at least publication with revisions for authors to be invited to resubmit their revised papers. In the second round, a majority of the original peer reviewers must recommend publication of the paper as it stands. The Editors maintain final discretion over publication of all papers.
