Format
Each of the magazine’s ten sections focuses on a specific area of international affairs. The first, Forum, analyzes a particular topic in depth. In the past, these topics have included urbanization, espionage, and indigenous movements. The following sections are called Business and Economics, Conflict and Security, Culture and Society, Law and Ethics, Politics and Diplomacy, Science and Technology, and Books. The eighth section, View from the Ground, gives Georgetown students the opportunity to connect their experiences abroad to wider themes in international affairs. The final section, A Look Back, recounts an interview with a prominent public figure. In summer 2011, the Journal announced that it will be publishing one article per cycle from a graduate student or PhD candidate. Graduate students from around the world can submit their articles to one of the eight sections.Notable Contributors
