About IPR

The International Policy Review at IE University

Our Mission

The International Policy Review (IPR) is IE University's student-run policy journal, dedicated to publishing rigorous analysis on international relations, economics, law, and public policy.

Founded by students passionate about global affairs, IPR provides a platform for emerging voices in policy analysis. We believe that students can contribute meaningfully to policy discourse through well-researched, thoughtfully argued articles.

Our mission is to foster intellectual curiosity, develop analytical skills, and connect students with opportunities in policy, academia, and journalism.
