Around the World, Across the Political Spectrum


About the Center for International Relations (CIR)

International Affairs Forum is a publication of the Center for International Relations, a nonprofit, tax exempt (501(c)3) organization based in Washington, D.C. We publish content to promote a global dialogue that bridges all mainstream ideological spectrums, ensuring a balanced and inclusive debate. This includes editorials, essays, interviews, and special publications.

International Affairs Forum provides links to numerous social media content. These are tagged with generalized identification of viewpoints by the source (e.g., Chatham House is identified as Independent) and any associated content is tagged accordingly. We do the best we can in this regard but sometimes social media content may not represent the political viewpoint stated (e.g., a conservative piece appearing in a liberal newspaper).
