Editor-in-Chief’s Message
Dear MJIP Community,
Welcome to a new academic year at the MEF Journal of International Politics. As MJIP continues to grow, our goal is to strengthen the journal as a student-led academic platform that supports high-quality undergraduate work in political science, international relations, and economics.
This new period marks an important step for MJIP. Alongside the journal’s continued development, we are expanding our reach by welcoming undergraduate submissions from Türkiye and abroad and by launching MJIP Compass, our new public-facing platform for accessible commentary and analysis.
We are grateful to all students, faculty members, alumni, and readers who support this project and contribute to its growth.
