About
Founded in 1946, International Journal (IJ) is Canada’s pre-eminent journal of global policy analysis. Published in conjunction with the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History (CCIH), it combines brief, policy-relevant articles with longer, peer-reviewed, scholarly assessments of interest to foreign policy makers, analysts and academics in Canada and around the world. IJ is cross-disciplinary, combining the insights of history, political science and economics with anthropology and other social sciences to advance research and dialogue on issues of global significance.
“I hope that the International Journal may contribute in a substantial way to the knowledge of Canadians on problems of international relations and may also express to other countries the Canadian viewpoint on international affairs.”
– R. M. Fowler, President of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs (forerunner of the CIC) in the foreword of the inaugural 1946 issue of International Journal
