Michigan Journal of International Affairs
Global Affairs Journal at the University of Michigan
NEWEST ISSUE
We are excited to share the Winter 2025 edition of the Michigan Journal of International Affairs! “Changing Tides” is the 30th volume of MJIA.
Across the world, power dynamics are shifting, forcing countries and their populations to adapt. Our Winter 2025 issue, “Changing Tides”, explores the waves of change sweeping across the globe today, and the ripple effects they cause. From the revolution in Syria to the Catholic Church’s loss of influence in Ireland and Spain, our writers examine the political and social consequences of change. Thank you for reading.
MJIA was founded as a completely student-run, undergraduate publication at the University of Michigan. Each semester, the Journal publishes opinion-based pieces on international affairs in the areas of politics, history, economics, and culture. Our writers author pieces across five different regions–Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East–and are actively involved in the entire process, from editing to final distribution.
