Millennium:
Journal of International Studies

Millennium has a world-wide circulation and is not only one of the pre-eminent British journals in the field of International Relations, but also enjoys wide recognition abroad. One of the few academic journals edited and published completely by postgraduate students, it maintains a high professional standard and a reputation for publishing innovative work by both young scholars as well as by established figures in the field. Now in its thirty-fourth year, Millennium is published tri-yearly (Summer, Winter, and the following Spring for the Special Issue).

Traditionally, Millennium holds a conference on an annual basis. The conference proceedings are published as the year's Special Issue. The theme of the Special Issue of Volume 34 (34.3) will be 'Between Fear and Wonder: International Politics, Representation and 'the Sublime'. Among the topics on which previous Special Issues have focused are: Ethics and International Relations (1998), Gender and International Relations (1998), Territoriality, Identity, and Movement in International Relations (1999), Religion and International Relations (2000), Images and Narratives in World Politics (2001), Pragmatism in IR Theory (2002), IR and the Digital Age (2003), and Facets of Power in International Relations (2004).

Every year, Millennium hosts the Northedge Essay Competition, now in its 21st year. This competition furthers a Millennium tradition of publishing well-argued student work in a journal open to new issues and innovative approaches to International Relations. The Northedge Essay Competition is open to any student who is currently pursuing or has recently completed a degree in International Relations or a related field and is named after Professor F S Northedge, the founder of the Journal.

Working with Millennium is an ideal way for students who are preparing for examinations, or who are looking for a way to sharpen critical skills, gain organisational experience, or keep up-to-date with the latest research in International Relations. Our weekly Editorial Board meetings, every Thursday from 1-2pm in room D703, are always open to new members and involve students in lively discussion and debate.

For more information, please drop by the Millennium office in Clement House in room D710, email us at millennium@lse.ac.uk or visit the Millennium Journal Website.

Postgraduate students from all departments within LSE and other London Universities are welcome. The Editors look forward to meeting you.
