JIRD ( Journal Of International Relations and Development)

Besides MERLOT, there is another place to publish your journals.....

JIRD ( Journal Of International Relations and Development)

JIRD is an independent and internationally peer-reviewed journal in international relations and international political economy. It publishes articles on contemporary world politics and the global political economy from a variety of methodologies and approaches.

The journal, whose history goes back to 1984, was originally established to encourage scholarly publications by authors coming from Central/Eastern Europe. In the late 1990s the journal was refounded as the official journal of the Central and East European International Studies Association (CEEISA), implementing a rigorous peerreview system and opening its pages to submissions from all scholars, regardless of
regional affiliation. JIRD is a global journal with regional roots.

JIRD seeks original manuscripts that provide theoretically informed empirical analyses of issues in international relations and international political economy, as well as original theoretical or conceptual analyses.
