This year was a slow start for Global Politics. Outside of updates, only 1 book review was published. While I enjoyed writing the book review, writing once every couple months does not make for a good website. So, for 2023, Global Politics will launch 3 editor’s columns and start its journey accepting outside submissions. See more details below.
Editors Columns
As Editor in Chief and Creator of Global Politics, it’s important that I remain a consistent contributor. Therefore, 2023 will see the launch of 3 Editor’s Columns: The Korea Kolumn, Editor’s Take, and Book of the Month.
Korea Kolumn
Korea Kolumn will be a monthly column focused on Korean—North and South—politics, culture, and society. Foreign policy related to Korea is also a possible topic. Each column will be either an analytic or strategic essay focused on a topic of importance to understanding Korea and the politics surrounding the peninsula.
Editor’s Take
Ever wondered what the Editor in Chief of your favorite publication thinks about anything? That is the idea behind the Editor’s Take column. Each month, I will work to provide some thoughts on a topic of interest—IR theory, global events, trending headlines. The Editor’s take will usually take the form of an analytic essay and, in most cases, is meant to spur discussion. Although these columns may be in places I am by no means an expert in, they will be grounded in research and I welcome comments and corrections to my ideas and facts.
Book of the Month
Understanding the thoughts of others can help put our own ideas into context, shaping even our own thoughts about current events. Reading is an essential way to learn the thoughts of others. Therefore, the final column I will launch in 2023 is the Book of the Month. This column will not rank books. Rather, it will be a monthly review of a book discussing a topic related to international affairs, history, or politics. In other words, I’ll pick a book each month to read and review. If there’s a desire for me to read a certain book, I may be inclined to rake recommendations for books to review.
Call For Papers
On January 1, 20230 Global Politics will open for submissions. Anyone focused on foreign policy or with a well researched idea is welcome to submit. It is advised that potential contributors take a look at the submission guidelines before submitting. Global Politics is excited to receive all submissions and publish those who care about international affairs.
In mid-2023, Global Politics will open a contributor program for those with an interest in publishing more frequently with us. This program requires participants to publish 1 piece a month for a 3, 6, or 12 month period to build their portfolio of international affairs research and commentary. Program details will be published at a later date.
Although an official call for papers will be posted in early 2023, Global Politics welcomes submissions starting now!
