The Polish Quarterly of International Affairs

The Polish Quarterly of International Affairs is the Institute’s English language journal and has a Central and Eastern European focus. It provides a forum for the analysis and debate of international affairs through a collection of original, peer reviewed articles on a contemporary theme.

Each issue features a collection of original, peer reviewed articles plus book reviews.

All articles should be submitted in English, in Microsoft Word format by email to pqia@pism.pl. An abstract (up to 150 words) and an author’s biography (up to 200 words) along with the author’s contact details (e.g. full name, full postal and email addresses and telephone number) should accompany the article in a separate document, which should also note the articles exact length, excluding footnotes.

Articles should be original contributions and should not be under consideration elsewhere. They should be between 6,000 to 8,000 words in length (excluding footnotes) and should strictly adhere to the journal’s style, which is detailed in a separate document (for more information click here). Failure to comply with the journal’s style may result in delay or rejection.

For specific submissions, authors should expect to hear a decision shortly after the end of the call or the end of the closest call for general submissions. All articles are subject to a first screening by the Editor-in-Chief. After initial acceptance, articles are anonymised and reviewed by a senior researcher at the Institute, and later returned to authors for possible revision. After final acceptance, the article will be edited and then, returned to authors for final approval. At this point, authors will be asked to assign copyright of their articles to the Polish Institute of International Affairs. Failure to comply with set deadlines may result in delay or rejection.

Reviews should be submitted in English, in Microsoft Word format by email to pqia@pism.pl. Reviews should detail the title of the book, the author, publisher and year of publication. An author’s biography (up to 200 words) and contact details (e.g. full name, full postal and email addresses and telephone number) should accompany the review in a separate document, which should also note the exact length of the review.
