The composition of the new team reflects the regional roots of the journal together with a diversity of geographical experiences and significant expertise in many of the fields and core areas of the International Relations discipline: International Political Economy, International Organization, International Political Sociology, Security Studies, Gender, Geopolitics, International Political Theory, to name but a few. The editorial team also brings exceptional methodological breadth to the journal, spanning expertise in formal modelling, quantitative and qualitative positivist, interpretive, and narrative methods.
