CALL FOR PAPERS

No. 38 / Open Issue

To be published in June 2018

The journal of Relaciones Internacionales —which began to be published twelve years ago — seeks to foster the study and debate of current questions of international relations from an interdisciplinary perspective and always driven by three fundamental axes: theory, history and analysis.

The aim of the journal is to provide contents that offer a diversity of approaches and analyses on issues of interest in the discipline; that foster and enrich the theoretical, analytical and historical debates that the discipline is so in need of these days. It is relevant to underline that we are a journal of International Relations that approaches the study of international world dynamics in its different dimensions: political, economical, social, cultural, ideological and normative. It is hence not a journal that focuses on questions of comparative politics, or the national politics of other countries. Instead, our central interest is on understanding what “the international” may be.

While not being monographics, most issues published so far have dealt with specific topics. Issue nº 38, programmed to be published in June 2018, what we propose is an open issue: an issue addressing no specific subject but looking for quality articles that response clearly to the editorial policy and, of course, fulfill the norms of publication stipulated in the journal's style guide. We are looking, then, for unpublished articles the publication of which will entail a significant contribution to the discipline of International Relations, either in theoretical, historical and/or analytical terms.

Examples of contributions that will be consider are, among others:

• • Articles that reflects on the theoretical concepts of the discipline, offer new perspectives or address theoretical, ontological or epistemological controversies both between and within different approaches.

 

• • Articles that enrich the debate or analyses in depth any current issue in International Relations. For example: the politics of securitization, the new international order, the peace agenda, Human Rights, Feminisms, International Organizations, the state, globalization...

 

• • The development of a critical historical study on some particular debate of interest to the discipline.

 

• Contributions linking our discipline with others like History, Sociology, and so on.

We wish that this issue will once again be a good forum to reflect on the main research concerns of our  discipline, International Relations; a discipline that is continuously growing and diversifying in the spanish academic world, increasing its diversity and richness.
