St. Antony's International Review

About

St. Antony’s International Review (STAIR) is the University of Oxford’s student-run, peer-reviewed Journal of International Affairs. STAIR publishes two issues each year in Winter and Spring, commentary pieces on an ongoing basis, and hosts in person and virtual events during the academic year. 

Created by graduate students of St. Antony’s College in 2005, STAIR has carved out a distinctive niche as a cross-disciplinary outlet for research on the most pressing contemporary global issues, providing a forum in which emerging scholars can publish their work alongside established academics and policymakers. STAIR’s budget largely derives from subscription fees courtesy of our partnership with Ingenta Connect. We are further grateful to receive administrative and other financial support from St. Antony’s College and Oxford’s Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR).

Aims & Scope

STAIR seeks to reflect an ethos of open, accessible, and engaged intellectual debate. It provides a forum where emerging scholars can publish their work alongside established academics and policy-makers. The journal operates under a double-blind peer review process in order to ensure the most rigorous and fair standards. STAIR welcomes a maximum of two article length and two book review submissions from undergraduate students, graduate students, and academic staff from all fields with work relevant to the field of International Affairs, International Relations, Security/Intelligence Studies, Geopolitics, the historical and regional aspects of these fields, and others where relevant.

STAIR seeks to encourage cross-disciplinary dialogue of contemporary international relevance through a bi-annual publication consisting of a Theme Section, a General Section, Book Reviews, and Interviews.

"We should all be grateful for the St Antony's students who took the initiative to launch this lively and challenging new journal of international affairs. It takes on the important issues and examines them in the round, from a truly global perspective."

— Professor Margaret MacMillan, Former Warden of St Antony's College
