Fordham University students who are studying international politics, economics, political economy, business, political science or other related fields at any level are encouraged to submit their work. FPR strongly believes that every student has something to say about the important political and economic issues of the world. In this spirit, we welcome submissions from students from all academic backgrounds and with all political persuasions. In this light, opinion is welcome, but proper evidence, argument, and citation are required.
Submissions should be undergraduate research and opinion essays related to the theme and in the fields of (but not limited to) international relations, political science, economics and business. Papers will be evaluated based upon sound analysis, originality of argument, and breadth of research. Prospective authors are encouraged to consult previous issues of FPR for examples of quality submissions. Below are the general submission guidelines.
