The Harvard International Review is a quarterly international relations journal published by the Harvard International Relations Council at Harvard University. The HIR offers commentary on global developments in politics, economics, business, science, technology, and culture, as well as interviews with global leaders.

Structure[edit]

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. The HIR's website features exclusive content and active blogs on current events. In all, the magazine has a growing readership of over 200,000.^[1]

History[edit]

The HIR was founded in 1979 by a group of undergraduate students in the Harvard International Relations Council,^[2] allowing students to analyze foreign affairs in an academic and journalistic forum. After monthly publication early on, the HIR pivoted to quarterly distribution, and began soliciting the perspectives of prominent figures in international relations.

To date, the magazine has featured articles or interviews from over 40 presidents and prime ministers, four UN Secretaries-General, four Nobel Economics Prize laureates, and seven Nobel Peace Prize laureates.^{[citation needed]}

Notable alumni[edit]

Notable Harvard alumni to have been staff members of the Harvard International Review include Philip A. Brimmer, Erik Brynjolfsson, Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty, Bernard Hebda, Stephen A. Higginson, Ambassador Philip S. Kosnett, David Laibson, Simpsons writer Jeff Martin, Robert McCord, Marc Rotenberg, Phillip Steck, John Weston, and M. Edward Whelan III.

+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.
-According to its mission statement, "The HIR features underappreciated topics in the international affairs discourse and underappreciated 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>
