About the Illini Journal of International Security  

The Illini Journal of International Security (IJOIS) is a peer-reviewed undergraduate 

academic journal that was founded in September 2015 by undergraduate students at the 

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. IJOIS is published biannually through the 

University of Illinois Library with the support of the Program of Arms Control & Domestic and 

International Security (ACDIS) and is comprised of exceptional undergraduate and graduate 

papers on topics related to international security or foreign affairs. IJOIS utilizes a cross-

disciplinary approach and accepts papers from students studying the social sciences, STEM 

fields, business and the humanities that analyze international security issues from innovative 

perspectives. While IJOIS is run by students at UIUC, the Journal accepts submissions from 

students at all University of Illinois campuses (Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, and Springfield).
