is a quarterly
peer-reviewed
academic journal
that covers the entire field of

. It was established in 1947 and is published by

on behalf of the International Organization Foundation. The

Brett Ashley Leeds
and

.
International Organization
is considered the leading journal in the field of
international relations
,
[1]
[2]
[3]
and one of the top journals in
political science
.
[2]
In a 2005 survey of international relations scholars on "which journals publish articles that have the greatest impact" in their field, about 70% included
International Organization
among the 4 "top journals", ranking it first among 28 journals.
[4]
According to the
Journal Citation Reports
, the journal has a 2022
impact factor
of 7.8, ranking it 3rd out of 187 journals in the category "Political Science" and 1st out of 96 journals in the category "International Relations".
[5]
The journal was founded in 1947 by the
World Peace Foundation
, a philanthropic institution.
[2]
In its early years, the journal focused on the United Nations, but expanded its scope over time to become a general international relations journal.
[6]
[7]
The journal has been credited with helping to establish the subfield of
international political economy
within international relations.
[2]
Robert Keohane
and
Joseph Nye
, who joined the journal in 1968, played an important role in steering the journal from scholarship focused on the UN to generalist scholarship in international relations.
[2]
Keohane and Nye broadened the definition of
institution
so that it did not exclusively refer to
formal organizations
.
[8]
In the 1990s, the journal played an important role in expanding the theoretical pluralism of international relations scholarship, bringing prominence to social theories (such as
rational choice
and
constructivism
) alongside the traditional
realist
and
liberal
theoretical frameworks.
[3]
Keohane was editor of the journal from 1972 to 1980.
[2]
Peter J. Katzenstein
was editor of the journal from 1980 to 1986.
[9]
Stephen D. Krasner
was editor of the journal from 1986 to 1991.
[10]
Lisa Martin
was the first female editor of the journal from 2001 to 2006.

The journal has been a flagship journal of international relations since the mid-1970s.
