The Yonsei Journal of International Studies (YJIS, formerly PEAR) is a triannual, peer-reviewed publication housed within Yonsei University’s Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS). We are a graduate student-run publication under the stewardship of a faculty editorial board, comprised of distinguished professors from Yonsei’s GSIS.
We strive to provide scholars at all academic and professional levels the opportunity to undergo and learn from an intensive peer-review process from prominent scholars and professors in the field of international studies, and ultimately publish their most refined works. In doing so, we hope to showcase the works of the next generation of thinkers and researchers in the interdisciplinary field of international studies.
