The International Spectator

期刊简介：The International Spectator aims to provide academics, practitioners, opinion- and decision-makers, as well as interested laymen, with thought-provoking, analytically sound, theoretically informed and policy-oriented research articles, essays and book reviews on foreign policy issues. Topics cover the entire spectrum of international affairs from ongoing international politics, economics and security affairs to pressing questions on the international agenda such as climate and energy, global migration and development. The International Spectator recognizes the scholarly value of diverse perspectives and approaches, and welcomes a variety of methodologies, both quantitative and qualitative. Our journal is strongly committed to gender balance and diversity, as reflected in its editorial and international advisory boards, and encourages submissions from scholars at all career stages and from all world regions. In order to increase dissemination of published research, The International Spectator also has its own blog , where shorter posts based on selected scholarly articles are published on a regular basis, as well as a podcast channel . Since 2021, the journal has been included in Q1 in both the SCImago and Scopus CiteScore rankings in the subject category Political Science and International Relations; it is also part of Clarivate’s Emerging Sources Citation Index, International Relations. Peer Review and Publication Process The two kinds of articles published – essays and research articles – undergo rigorous peer review, based on initial in-house screening by the journal's editors (usually within two weeks of submission) and double anonymized anonymous refereeing by at least two independent, expert reviewers (usually within 8-10 weeks of the initial screening). All accepted articles go through internal editing, including language editing, and this support is provided free of charge to authors. Each article is then published online as soon as it is ready, normally within two months of acceptance.
