Comillas Journal of International Relations

About the Journal

Comillas Journal of International Relations is a semiannual scientific journal edited as an Open Access Journal by the Department of International Relations (Faculty of Human and Social Sciences) of the Universidad Pontificia Comillas. As part of its rigorous editorial policy, the journal adheres to strict academic standards to ensure the quality and relevance of all published content. Each submission undergoes a thorough evaluation process based on a double-blind peer review system, which guarantees impartiality and scholarly excellence.

Comillas Journal of International Relations seeks to serve the international scholarly community by offering a platform for scientific and academic reflection on the complex dynamics shaping today’s world. It addresses the growing tension between two opposing global trends: on one hand, increasing integration, globalization, and interdependence; on the other, the rise of actors striving for greater independence and strategic autonomy. These contradictory forces demand in-depth and rigorous analysis capable of identifying their root causes and consequences, as well as proposing informed solutions to the challenges and crises they may generate.
