The Yale Journal of International Affairs (YJIA) is a graduate student-run publication that bridges the gap between academia and the policy world. YJIA publishes bold, original arguments and thoughtful critiques on international affairs, with a focus on the real-world and policy implications of the issues it covers. The journal features contributions from academic scholars, think tanks, policy practitioners, and students, reflecting diverse perspectives and areas of expertise.

YJIA publishes articles, interviews, op-eds, and photo essays through two calls for submissions each year: one in the fall for online publication and one in the spring for both print and online. As of 2021, YJIA uses an author-blind review process to ensure unbiased selection.

Past contributors to YJIA include Francis Gavin, Robert Jervis, John M. Owen IV, Marc Trachtenberg, Stephen M. Walt, David Cohen, Alexander Evans, Janet Napolitano, Oona Hathaway, Stanley McChrystal, Tony Blair, Paul Collier, Joseph Stiglitz, John Negroponte, and Mary Kaldor, among others.

YJIA was established in 2004 by graduate students at Yale University’s MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies. Since 2011, YJIA has been proudly associated with Yale’s Jackson School of Global Affairs.
