The Journal of World Politics at the University of Guilan aspires to become a reputable academic platform in the field of global politics, international relations, and strategic developments. The journal aims to promote theoretical and empirical knowledge with an analytical, critical, and comparative approach to emerging issues and the evolving structures of the international system.

Our vision is to provide a space for the exchange of scholarly ideas among researchers, academics, and policy analysts—both from Iran and abroad—so that the journal becomes a bridge between theoretical insights and practical needs in the realm of global politics and strategic studies. Committed to the highest standards of peer review, transparent publishing processes, and professional ethics, the journal seeks to establish itself as a leading source of scholarship in Persian-language publications and, in the future, to gain recognition on the international stage.
