The 'HIR' offers commentary on global developments in politics, economics, business, science, technology, and culture, as well as interviews with prominent global leaders and reviews of books and documentaries. ==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> The magazine is composed of the following sections: Features, Perspectives, World in Review, Global Notebook, Interviews, Books & Reviews, and Conferences.
