The STEAR Digital Policy Journal

Our Digital Policy Journal is the beating heart of STEAR, publishing articles on current affairs and foreign policy opinion pieces between 1,000-1,500 words in length. We are looking for original work, offering novel insights and taking a specific and well-argued standpoint that contributes to collaborative and fruitful discussion.

We accept ad-hoc submissions as well as contributions from our regular writers. Please send your articles to our Editor-in-Chief (steareditor@gmail.com) together with a short summary of your writing and a fifty-word biography about yourself.
