IRR: Grounded in history: Spring 2022, issue 26
This issue in particular has a heavy focus on history. We seek not to rewrite history but to redefine it. Our emerging scholars offer critical analysis on myths, misconceptions, and misinformation. From articles on the Italian mafia, the role of agriculture in the Middle East, to the TRIPS waiver, we use history as a lesson and as a framework to guide the future of diplomacy.
At the same time that we’ve engaged with global history, the International Relations Review also has sought to shift our own trajectory. The journal has historically published a print edition every year, but in the 2021 - 2022 academic year, we’ve increased both the quality and quantity of our content. With a team of more than 100 students, the International Relations Review pushes new frontiers with a podcast, blog, and journal
IRR: Redefining resistance: Fall 2021, issue 25
Since 2009, the
International Relations Review
has contributed to the breadth of
international scholarship through
a bi-annual publication written
and edited by Boston University's
undergraduate students. Founded
with the intention of promoting
dialogue between students,
scholars, and policy-makers in an
increasingly globalized world, the
platform that the IRR creates for
emerging scholars is needed now
more than ever.
The traditional lenses
of understanding international
relations have shifted in the
decade that separates this
issue from the first. From anti-
government demonstrations
and far-right nationalism to the
implications of climate change
and the global pandemic, the past
twelve years have illuminated
the extent to which technology
and social mobilization have
redefined resistance for the
generations to come.
Despite the unique
hardships posed by the global
pandemic, the 25th edition
preserves the IRR's commitment
to illuminating key currents in
international affairs that are often
neglected by global media. This
issue seeks to explore the role of
resistance in promoting political
reform, thwarting suppression,
and accelerating solutions to
the world's most pressing crises,
whether through the coffeehouses
of Egypt or the colonial histories
of Latin America
