About us
E-International Relations is the world's leading source for International Relations scholarship and insight. The website was established in 2007 and reaches over 3 million readers per year. We have published over 10,000 academic articles, a range of open access books and the Thinking Global podcast – all free to access.
We maintain an impartial editorial stance based on scholarly principles that seeks to provide an open platform to allow our authors the freedom to present expert analysis from the widest range of positions. We do not have any corporate backers/owners, investors, nor do we receive financial backing from other organisations – educational, political or otherwise.
Operationally, E-International Relations is staffed by an all-volunteer team of academics, practitioners and students who contribute their time remotely from locations all over the world. We raise the bulk of our operating budget – which covers licensing (such as images), software, technical, design, development and regulatory fees – through the kindness of our subscribers on Substack.
We will notify you each time we post some content. This will be by email, or in the substack app, which we recommend installing. Please set things up so you get notified in a way that is appropriate to your needs by tailoring your notifications on the website or the Substack app – see here.
You can also bookmark us in your browser and read the old fashioned way without subscribing. Everything on E-International Relations is free to view.
