ABOUT YJIS
The Yonsei Journal of International Studies (YJIS), formerly known as PEAR (Papers, Essays, and Reviews), is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) at Yonsei University, in partnership with the Yonsei University Press.
Led by graduate students and supported by our GSIS faculty editorial board, YJIS publishes three issues a year featuring original work in international studies from across the globe. We are proud to be the first journal in Korea and East Asia to combine student leadership with faculty expertise, creating a space where fresh ideas meet scholarly rigor.
YJIS began in 2008 as a collaboration between then-Dean Chung Min Lee and a team of five graduate students who shared a vision to make academic writing more accessible and dynamic. What started as an outlet for student research has grown into a global platform for dialogue and discovery, a mission that continues to guide us today.
Each submission that passes our initial review undergoes a detailed, double-blind process led by recognized scholars, researchers, and professors from relevant fields.
