OV E RVI E W

The International Relations Journal at San Francisco State

University strives to exhibit the diverse range of undergraduate

and graduate research interests that flourish in our department.

Each semester, the Journal is offered as a course in which

students participate as writers or editors in a peer review process,

or as administrative staff members who assist authors and editors

as well as guide the Journal through its production.

The goal of the course is to expose students to the peer review

process, focusing on academic standards of argumentation and

factual accuracy, citation formatting, and collaborative editing

using Microsoft Word¡¯s ¡°track changes¡± feature. More broadly,

the Journal¡¯s executive editors aim to help students develop

writing/editing skills applicable in other courses and promote a

deeper understanding of the discipline of International Relations

as a whole.

SU BMISSO NS & PROC E SS

The Journal encourages all students pursuing a B.A. or M.A. in

International Relations to submit completed works (incomplete

papers and abstracts are not accepted) at the beginning of each

semester. From these submissions, the Journal¡¯s executive editors

assign students to positions on the writing and editorial boards

as well as a number of administrative-level appointments.

The course curriculum includes a number of informational

workshops and at least three rounds of structured editing and

revision. All editing is anonymous and each submission is

reviewed by three different editors.

The structured peer review is as follows: [1] a submission

is first edited by an undergraduate or graduate ¡°peer expert¡±

who has conducted prior research on topics and/or regions

relevant to the paper and can thus provide fact checking and

citation suggestions; [2] second round editing focuses on clarity

and academic tone my paring the manuscript with an editor

unfamiliar with the paper¡¯s subject; [3] finally, the paper is

edited for proper citation formatting and technical aspects.

At the end of the semester, authors participating in

this process are expected to submit a final manuscript for

consideration by the Journal¡¯s executive editors and the

faculty advisor.

PU BLIC ATIO N O F A RTIC LE S

Only submissions that have gone through the peer review

process and meet the content and formatting requirements will

be considered for publication. The Journal is published yearly.

Acknowledgments

The staff of The International Relations Journal is grateful for

the continued funding allocated by the Instructionally Related

Activities Committee and the Department of International

Relations at San Francisco State University for the production of

this journal.

The production of this journal is a group effort and the

managing editors would like to especially thank all the members

of the editorial board and the contributing writers. The editorial

board members edited the articles contained in this issue and

both the editors and writers patiently endured the labor of

multiple revisions of these articles, as well as corresponding with

one another. The guidance and advice of Dr. Burcu Ellis and Dr.

Anthony Pankhe in the International Relations Department has

been indispensable to the publication of the Journal.

We would like to thank Professor Joshua Singer and his team

of talented student designers for the new look of our journal.
