Aims of the Journal and Guidelines for Submission Published since 1948, Studia Diplomatica, the long-standing journal of Egmont Royal Institute for International Relations, enjoys a worldwide distribution. Under its subtitle The Brussels Journal of International Relations, the aim of Studia Diplomatica is to offer a quarterly platform to the dynamic Brussels research and policy scene, bringing together insights and expertise from academics, think tanks and practitioners around the globe. Its mission is to be a peer-reviewed publication of policy-oriented scholarly articles. The journal welcomes article submissions, by academics and practitioners, on all aspects of international relations, including political, legal and economic perspectives, but retains a particular focus on the process of European integration, on the role of the EU as a global actor, and on Africa. Aiming at an audience of policy-makers, NGOs, and think tanks as well as academia, articles must be policy-oriented, combining theoretical frameworks and depth of analysis with innovative recommendations and thinking out of the box. Articles must not exceed 5000 words, including explanatory and bibliographical footnotes. Authors will receive 1 hard copy of the issue in which their article is published as well as an electronic version.

Submissions in Word-format can be sent by e-mail: studia.diplomatica@egmontinstitute.be.
