==Structure==▼
According to its mission statement, "The HIR features under-appreciated topics in the international affairs discourse and under-appreciated perspectives on more widely discussed topics. The HIR aims to serve as a trend-setter among similar publications by directing rather than following the public's attention." In its aim to "cover that middle ground between academic scholarship and journalism," the HIR is more a source of analysis than a source of news or editorial commentary.<ref>[http://hir.harvard.edu/about-us/ About Us, Harvard International Review]</ref>
 
▲==Structure==
The magazine is composed of the following sections: Features, Perspectives, World in Review, Global Notebook, Interviews, Books & Reviews, and Conferences. The [http://hir.harvard.edu website] features exclusive content and active blogs on current events.<ref>[http://hir.harvard.edu/ Harvard International Review]</ref>
The magazine features quarterly cover topics, broad surveys of developments in international relations (collectively referred to as the Global Notebook), outside perspectives, and interviews. Cover topics in recent years have included analyses of the role agriculture plays in international development, the erosion of trust in modern institutions, and the trade-offs between compromise and defiance.
 
Various boards within the ''HIR'' also work to copy-edit articles, design the print magazine, connect with new subscribers and advertisers, and maintain the magazine's website and social media presence.
