Millennium has a world-wide circulation and is not only one of the pre-eminent British journals in the field of International Relations, but also enjoys wide recognition abroad. One of the few academic journals edited completely by postgraduate students, it maintains a high professional standard and a reputation for publishing innovative work by both young scholars as well as by established figures in the field. Founded in 1971, Millennium is published tri-yearly (Summer, Winter, and the following Spring for the Special Issue). As of 2007, Millennium is published by SAGE, a partnership that has raised the profile of the journal and helped insure its continued high quality.
Millennium holds an annual conference every autumn. A selection of the papers are published as the year's Special Issue. Recent Special Issues include 'Interrogating Democracy in International Relations' (Vol. 37), 'Peace in International Relations' (Vol. 36), 'The International Today' (Vol. 35) and 'Facets of Power in International Relations' (Vol. 33). LSE students are encouraged to attend and can attend at a discounted rate. Find out more about the annual conference|.
Every year, Millennium also hosts the Northedge Essay Competition. This competition furthers a Millennium tradition of publishing well-argued student work in a journal open to new ideas and innovative approaches to International Relations. The Northedge Essay Competition is open to any student who is currently pursuing or has recently completed a degree in International Relations or a related field and is named after Professor F S Northedge, the founder of the Journal.
Working with Millennium is ideal for students who are looking for a way to sharpen critical skills, gain organisational experience, or keep up-to-date with the latest research in International Relations. Our weekly Editorial Board meetings, every Thursday from 1-2pm, are always open to new members and involve students in lively discussion and debate. Please contact Millennium staff to find out about how to get involved.
For more information, please drop by the Millennium office in Clement House in room CLM 7.10 or email us at millennium@lse.ac.uk|.
Postgraduate students from all departments within LSE and other London Universities are welcome. The Editors look forward to meeting you.
