The Journal of International Affairs was established at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs in 1947, in the wake of the second world war, making it the second-oldest foreign affairs journal in the United States. Since then, it has been published biannually. The journal is distinctive for its single-topic format, which brings together scholars and practitioners from across the political spectrum to address the timely angles of an issue of international import. Past writers include such distinguished names as Hannah Arendt, Jagdish Bhagwati, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, W. Averill Harriman, John Kerry, Margaret Mead, Herbert Schiller, Paul Volcker, and Kenneth Waltz.
