What is YRIS?

The Yale Review of International Studies (YRIS) is an academic journal dedicated to publishing academic scholarship on contemporary and historical global issues.

In order to address the many questions of international interest, YRIS seeks to stimulate probing and multi-faceted discussion on issues ranging from foreign policy to international trends in law, culture, and the environment.
