About us
E-International Relations is the world’s leading source for International Relations scholarship and insight, reaching over 3 million readers annually via our web, email and social channels. In addition to our daily publications of academic articles, interviews and reviews, we publish open access books and the Thinking Global podcast – all free to access.
Since our founding in 2007, we have operated as a UK-registered non-profit organisation. We follow 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.
Since 2026 our home has been on Substack. For info on our old website, see here.
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 through donations and from the kindness of our subscribers on Substack. As we are volunteers, our costs are modest. However, we do need to raise revenue for licensing (such as images), services, software, technical, design, and regulatory costs that are essential to running our non profit org, developing new projects, and organising our editorial workflow.
Please support our work by subscribing (below) or with a donation.
A little goes a long way, and we deeply appreciate it.
