Panoply Journal
A cornerstone of CIRIS's work is the publication of the Panoply Journal, a peer-reviewed international relations journal that welcomes submissions from students and researchers across the globe. This journal serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the field, providing timely and relevant insights on topics that range from peace, democracy, freedom of speech, inclusion, warfare technologies and international crimes to the feasibility and effects of political actions on global conflicts.
Our journal is not behind a paywall, and we accept submissions from everybody with a dedicated team of volunteers that is dedicated and involved. We stimulate students to submit their work and help them overcome obstacles that they may face with traditional journals.
A community of learning experts
CIRIS's impact is amplified through its community of learning experts, who share their expertise and gain valuable knowledge within the organization's diverse, international team. These members contribute to CIRIS's mission by conducting research, sharing insights, and developing strategies that promote International Relations and International Security.
We help students and those that want to enter the field of International Relations by joining our leadership team and learn from each other in a community of learners. Those that have joined our team were enabled to use their experience at CIRIS to move ahead in their career.
