Duke Journal of Public Affairs
From Student Link
The Duke Journal of Public Affairs is Duke's premier public policy publication. Founded in 2005, the journal facilitates student contributions to political discourse, enhancing the academic experience Duke offers and encouraging scholars to translate concepts from the classroom into meaningful applications in the world.
This non-partisan bi-annual publication draws on talented undergraduate and graduate students from across the political, economic, and philosophical disciplines, asking them to develop critical new ideas in domestic and international affairs. The Duke Journal incorporates evaluations of policy that mesh practical and theoretical approaches to contemporary issues.
We aspire to scholarship. Our formula couples research with comprehensive and in-depth articles. The core of each issue consists of strong academic papers that have passed faculty review. As incentive to publish original research, we help students through the research process, offering editorial advice, as well as connections to professors and experts in the field. If you have an article, research, or policy paper prepared, please submit it to dukejournal@duke.edu.

[edit] Public Policy
Public Policy explores how interactions between state and non-state actors affect current issues and trends in politics, society, and statecraft. Articles address the role of the media in national affairs, the challenges and opportunities presented by strategic and regional alliances, and the prospects of democracy in Iran. Our authors include academic experts, and seasoned undergraduates in public policy.
[edit] Economics
Economics examines current trends in the global economy, both macro- and micro-. Contributions to this section have included analyses of the effects of international terrorism on international trade, assessments of regional financial scenarios, and prescriptions for the economics of development. The Journal planes to soon regularly publish interviews with high-profile business leaders to elucidate the corporate strategies and ambitions that affect global markets.
[edit] Law & Ethics
Law and Ethics presents advances and challenges in international and domestic law and frames ethical debates in public affairs. Top Duke students, along with philosophers, ethicists, law practitioners, advocates and scholars from around the world tackle some of the most challenging dilemmas of our day. Law and Ethics gives Journal readers a look at issues ranging from the recruitment of young soldiers in violent conflicts to the extradition of heads of state accused of war crimes and the ethical questions surrounding economic development in the world’s poorest areas.
[edit] In the Field
In the Field challenges Duke’s talented and well-traveled student body to produce insightful articles about ahead-of-the-curve issues they have observed first-hand through internships, jobs or study abroad. The articles they contribute to the Journal allow both undergraduate and graduate students to fuse coursework with real-world experience and, most importantly, participate in the public affairs debate that the Journal endeavors to promote.
[edit] Publishing
The Journal solicits from professors and students for in-depth articles in one of its areas of focus, and then works with promising candidates to develop their articles more fully.
Articles can be submitted online to dukejournal@duke.edu
