Aims & Scope

The Czech Journal of International Relations (CJIR) is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes scholarly work in International Relations (IR), and also research based in other disciplines if its contribution is relevant for IR. While the journal seeks to promote research that resonates within the Central and Eastern European (CEE) context, it provides an inclusive platform for diverse theoretical and geographical approaches. CJIR is particularly interested in studies of European politics, international institutions, small states, environmental politics, international conflicts, gender, migration, and related topics that have implications for, or originate from, the CEE region. While it strives to foster academic excellence in and support researchers from Central and Eastern Europe, the journal welcomes contributions from all parts of the world.
