About the Stanford International Policy Review (SIPR)

The Stanford International Policy Review (SIPR) is an international affairs and public policy journal housed in the Ford Dorsey Master's in International Policy. We look for pieces that analyze some of the world’s most important and challenging problems with compelling data and evidence. We pride ourselves on advancing commentaries, analyses, and research that reflect the varied viewpoints of our writers and propose ways forward for the appropriate parties.

SIPR publishes pieces online in each of Stanford’s fall, winter, and spring academic quarters. SIPR also hosts events throughout the year at Stanford to engage scholars and policy practitioners on a variety of international policy topics relevant to the selected theme of the journal issue.
