GSIR Working Paper Series

GSIR working papers are preliminary research documents, published by the Graduate School of International Relations. These papers present the findings of research projects being undertaken within IUJ by faculty, students, alumni, and visiting professors. To facilitate prompt distribution, they have not been formally reviewed and edited. They are circulated in order to stimulate discussion and critical comment and may be revised. The views and interpretations expressed in these papers are those of the author(s). It is expected that most working papers will be published in some other form, for example, international academic journals.

Below is the current active working paper series at GSIR: Economic Development and Policy (EDP) series and Economic Analysis and Policy (EAP) Series.
