International Affairs Forum

Around the World, Across the Political Spectrum
About the Center for International Relations (CIR)

International Affairs Forum is a publication of the Center for International Relations, a nonprofit, tax exempt (501(c)3) organization based in the Washington, D.C. area unaffiliated with any group or ideology. We are devoted to the independent exchange of international affairs, intelligence and economics views and information. Through our online journal, International Affairs Forum, we strive to facilitate and enrich our readers' experience by providing:
  • Non-Partisan Content - IA-Forum.org presents information in an unbiased manner, regardless of political creed to provide our readers an all-encompassing view of subjects. We encourage readers to not only read political perspectives they agree with but also expand their horizons by reading pieces from across the table.
  • IA-Forum Content - IA-Forum publishes opinion pieces, essays, articles, and interviews with leading professionals and academics.
  • Global Viewpoints - IA-Forum.org presents content from a global perspective.
  • Full Range of Contributor Demographics - IA-Forum accepts and publishes content from contributors ranging from students to academics and experienced professionals.

    International Affairs Forum provides links to numerous social media content. These are tagged with generalized identification of viewpoints by the source (e.g., Chatham House is identified as Independent) and any associated content is tagged accordingly. We do the best we can in this regard but sometimes social media content may not represent the political viewpoint stated (e.g., a conservative piece appearing in a liberal newspaper).

Other CIR Functions:
  • Annual Special Publication, International Affairs Forum. Focuses on a pressing international affairs and/or economic issue. Winning piece(s) from our Student Writing Award competition included in the publication.
  • Student Awards for Outstanding Submissions
  • Research
  • Special Events (roundtable discussions, etc.)
  • Anti-Corruption Crowdsourcing Program with Transparency International
