The International Affairs Journal is an academic journal based at the University of California in Davis that strives to connect the academic world through scholarly papers in order to spread awareness, start conversations and spark curiosity about the international issues that are facing our world today. We promote the publication of both undergraduate and graduate papers, giving all students the opportunity to have their work published and recognized in the academic community.

The International Affairs Journal releases two publications: the International Affairs Journal and the International Update, found on our website.
