AGS in Paris and Arcadia University To Launch Academic Journal on International Studies

The American Graduate School in Paris and, its partner institution in the United States, Arcadia University have agreed to launch a joint academic journal on international studies. This new journal will focus on International Relations, Diplomacy and Development issues as well as Peace and Conflict Resolution, reflecting the interdisciplinary approach and complementary academic concentrations of the two institutions. It will be an online-only open source publication available at no cost to users worldwide, featuring peer-reviewed articles, book reviews, opinion pieces and interviews.

Patrick Clairzier (on the left on the picture), Assistant Professor in the Study Abroad program at AGS in Paris and initiator of the project, met with Warren Haffar (on the right on the picture), Dean of International Affairs at Arcadia University, and Sandra Hordis, Director of Arcadia's Off-shore Programs in Paris on October 18th, 2013 to discuss the various ways in which the two institutions can develop interdisciplinary research through this joint project.

The first issue of the journal will be released early 2014. The theme will be "The Roles and Challenges of Diplomacy in the 21st Century: Inclusion and Exclusion in a Globalized World.” More details will be posted here soon on how to access the journal.

This collaboration demonstrates a combined commitment by AGS and Arcadia to furthering high-level academic research, innovation and debate on important international trends and topics.
