Aims and Scope

The Anatolian Journal of Politics and International Relations (AJPIR) is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing scholarly research and critical debate in the fields of political science and international relations. The journal aims to provide a rigorous intellectual platform for the publication of original theoretical, empirical, and comparative studies that contribute to the understanding of contemporary political processes, governance structures, and global transformations.

AJPIR welcomes high-quality research addressing a broad range of themes, including but not limited to comparative politics, political theory, public policy analysis, international security, foreign policy, diplomacy, global governance, political economy, regional and area studies, international organizations, conflict and peace studies, and emerging geopolitical dynamics. The journal particularly encourages interdisciplinary and methodologically diverse contributions that engage with regional developments related to Anatolia and its wider geopolitical environment, while maintaining strong relevance to global academic debates.

Committed to promoting theoretical innovation, methodological rigor, and analytical depth, AJPIR seeks to foster dialogue among scholars, researchers, and policy practitioners from different academic traditions and geographical contexts. By supporting research that bridges conceptual inquiry with empirical evidence, the journal aims to contribute to the production of globally impactful knowledge and evidence-based policy discussions in politics and international relations.

Published biannually in June and December, the journal aspires to strengthen its international visibility and academic reputation by adhering to internationally recognized standards of scholarly publishing and by serving as a reputable forum for intellectual exchange in an increasingly complex and evolving global political landscape.
