Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue plans to address the topic in the following two ways:
As contributors, you are welcome to trace the development of the study of international relations in specific countries, such as the United States and the Soviet Union (Russia), or to choose a specific theme, for instance, climate change, or the politics of international health.
This Special Issue is focused on presenting new ideas and advances in the very diverse field of history of international relations. The time span covered by the articles would start, essentially, from the Second World War. It is recommended that articles total no fewer than 4000 words (please note that reviews, regular research papers, essays and communications are also welcomed).
Prof. Dr. André Liebich
Guest Editor
