It is indexed by Columbia International Affairs Online, Public Affairs Information Service, International Political Science Abstracts, America: History and Life and Historical Abstracts, and Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory.

The Journal is published twice a year. We invite submissions of approximately 3,000 to 6,000 words, in 12-point font and double-spaced with standard margins. Endnotes should be in the Chicago Manual of Style (15th Edition) format. Papers offering new insights and/or practical application in the area of international affairs are most welcome. Authors can send articles via e-mail at diplomacyjournal@shu.edu or provide one hard copy of their paper as well as an electronic copy in Microsoft Word format on floppy or CD. Papers should also include an abstract and a brief biographical note for each author, including contact information.

Our Winter/Spring 2006 issue will address The Changing Nature of Diplomacy –looking beyond official diplomacy to diplomacy conducted in other spheres, such as public diplomacy, Track II diplomacy, and more. We welcome papers that deal with policy issues, academic viewpoints, as well as regional perspectives. We are currently inviting submissions on these topics as well as general submissions pertaining to international affairs. Please submit articles by March 15, 2006.

The John C. Whitehead School of Diplomacy and International Relations was established in alliance with the United Nations Association of the United States of America to prepare an international student body to become the next generation of global leaders. The School’s academic programs, leading to a Bachelor of Science or a Master of Arts in Diplomacy and International Relations, grant students concrete skills essential to careers in international affairs.
