Initial Submission of Manuscripts
International Interactions is interested in publishing articles that make theoretical and empirical advances in the scientific study of conflict and political economy. Articles concerned primarily with reviewing literature or making normative policy prescriptions will not be considered.
Manuscripts should be no more than 40 pages for full-length articles and no more than 17 pages for research notes and commentaries. Manuscripts should be double-spaced and written in 12 point font. They should also be in either Microsoft Word (.doc, not .docx) or PDF only. Please send us one identifiable and one anonymous manuscript. We assume that the submission has not been published elsewhere and is not being simultaneously reviewed by any other journal. Discovery of the contrary will lead to a halt of the review process. International Interactions is now edited using the online management system, Critical Math. Please send manuscripts to our page on Critical Math: http://interactions.criticalmath.com. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from our staff that your manuscript is out for review within days of submission. The editors strive to make a decision on your manuscript within roughly 90 days of submission. Please do not hesitate to contact the editorial team if you have not received a confirmation email within a week of submitting your manuscript or have not received a decision within 90 days of submission. Our email address is ps-intinteract@illinois.edu.

Proofs and Offprints
Page proofs are sent to the designated author using Taylor & Francis' Central Article Tracking System (CATS). Corrections are limited to printer's errors — no substantial author's changes will be made. The corresponding author of each article will receive 3 copies of the issue in which the article appears. The corresponding author is responsible for distribution of copies to co-authors. Reprints of individual articles are available for order at the time authors review page proofs.
