About

The home of emerging research on interdisciplinary politics.

The Cambridge Journal of Political Affairs is a student-run academic journal dedicated to publishing scholarly work produced by university students in a biannual online issue. The Journal aims to provide a formative space for undergraduate students through an extensive peer-review process, with support from students of the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge.

The Journal’s core focus has traditionally been on politics. However, recognising that diverse perspectives are necessary to understand ‘the political’, it publishes papers from all areas of the discipline. This includes political philosophy, political history, comparative politics, international relations, political anthropology, and political sociology. The Journal is also keen to promote work that opens up dialogue between the traditional sub-disciplines of politics or that explores the intersections with sister disciplines.
