Info for Authors
International Organization seeks to publish the best and most innovative scholarly manuscripts available on international political and economic relations. A study that does not emphasize any international (or cross-border) phenomenon—for example, as a major cause or effect—falls outside the journal’s domain.
Additionally, IO features articles that contribute to the improvement of general knowledge or empirical theory defined broadly. Although we may publish a manuscript designed to propose a solution to a current world problem, we prefer to publish those that also apply theoretical ideas and findings or address general questions debated in scholarly publications.

Editorial Team
Emanuel Adler and Louis Pauly at the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto are the journal’s co-editors. They are assisted by two associate editors, Edward Mansfield of the University of Pennsylvania and David Stasavage of New York University, and by Etel Solingen of the University of California at Irvine, who serves as review editor. Jacqueline Larson, the managing editor, has a background in scholarly publishing.
Our primary role as editors is to encourage the best work to be submitted to IO, and then to manage a fair process of review. In that regard, IO continues to favor no particular research tradition, theoretical school, or methodological approach. Rather, its hallmark is the theoretical and methodological diversity now so obvious in its traditional core subfield of international political economy (IPE), as well as in international relations (IR) more generally.
