The USTM Journal of International Studies (UJIS) is a peer-reviewed online journal of the Centre for Advanced International Studies, University of Science & Technology, Meghalaya, India— that seeks to advance the frontiers of research and scholarship in International Relations and Area Studies. It will provide an open-access platform for the academics, scholars and practitioners in the field of International Relations, Diplomacy, and Area Studies.
Particular focus of the journal will be on the integration of scholarship and practice with equal emphasis on publication of articles of serving and retired diplomats and officials of UN and other inter-governmental organizations providing practitioners’ perspectives and insights, and also articles and research papers by IR scholars with focus on empirical studies as well as on papers that make theoretical and conceptual advancements in the field.
The journal will publish two issues per year: (1) Summer issue in April (2) Winter issue in December. Occasionally, special issues will be brought out focusing on a particular theme.
Instead of confining ourselves into strict boundaries of a narrow definition of International Relations, the journal will seek to provide space to a diverse range of issues, concerns, and phenomena that straddle international borders and that calls for cooperation between nations or entities located in different nations.
