The HIR features underappreciated topics in the international affairs discourse and underappreciated perspectives on more widely discussed topics. The HIR aims to serve as a trend-setter among similar publications by directing rather than following the public’s attention. The HIR is more a source of analysis than a source of news or editorial commentary. Its main purpose is not to present facts previously unreported elsewhere. The HIR distinguishes itself primarily by serving as a forum for academic debate, rigorously applying theory to case studies, analyzing historical trends, and making informed predictions. The Harvard International Review is an officially recognized student-run publication of Harvard College. Our editorial team includes faculty and experts from the areas which we cover as well as Harvard students. The Harvard International Review is part of the Harvard International Relations Council.
