myforeignpolicy.com provides a forum for lively discussion and innovative ideas in the field of International Relations. One of the site's distinguishing features is its openness to all - from young students to University professors. This approach should not be viewed as an attempt to trivialize or dilute the academic study of International Relations, rather as an attempt to introduce school and university students to the subject.

What are we seeking to do?

It is commonplace for students, across the UK and beyond, to study Politics at school and degree level, yet only be introduced to International Relations during their second or third year at University. myforeignpolicy.com therefore aims to provide a forum for those who are interested in the subject but have not yet been given the opportunity to study it; as well as those who are studying it, have studied it, or simply interested in it. We do not seek to undermine or transform the current methods of teaching International Relations to students, but to compliment the existing system by providing students with an environment that will help to sharpen their analytical, written and debating skills.

Why should you help?

Lecturers, PhD students, Professors, Researchers, Journalists, Soldiers, Authors, Civil Servants, Analysts — indeed anyone with a job that involves an element of International Relations,

as leaders in the academic and professional spheres of International Relations, we ask for your help in providing this service. Some of you will have studied the subject, some may even be teaching it. So we ask you to lend your experience and knowledge to help us develop a site which can empower young students - and others - by furthering their understanding of World affairs.

How can you help?

If you have essays or papers which you believe would enhance a student's knowledge of a particular area of International Relations, then please contact us.

If you agree with the aims of the site and believe our mission to be virtuous, then please spread the word to your fellow workers, academics, friends, and most importantly of all, students.

And if you're really, really taken with our project, then become one of 'Our regulars'. You would be most welcome.
