Millennium Journal
Millennium: Journal of International Studies is a peer-reviewed and highly ranked journal that aims to publish critical, theoretical, and boundary-pushing articles from the discipline of International Relations (IR), as well as original thinking from elsewhere in the social sciences with a global dimension. We welcome challenging and innovative contributions that articulate alternative theoretical perspectives and that explore subject areas with which IR has had little or no serious engagement.
As one of the few peer-reviewed academic journals edited entirely by doctoral and postgraduate students, Millennium strives to be a place of intellectual pluralism and diversity where contributions from research students can rub shoulders with the great and the good. We encourage submissions from research students, young academics, and established scholars alike, and offer a forum where scholars of international studies can engage in dialogue across boundaries, borders, continents, departments, and academic disciplines.
Millennium is based at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and is published three times a year by SAGE Publications. Each October, the annual Millennium conference provides a forum for discussion on the latest developments in critical international studies.
Conference theme
International Relations is concerned with the connections that constitute lived political realities. The present moment is marked by an unprecedented awareness of the intra-relations and ruptures at the core of social and political life. The ongoing global pandemic, anti-racist protests and struggles against environmental degradation have laid bare the need for connected understandings of global politics. This conference is a call to push existing approaches to global (dis)connectivity, heterogeneity and shared vulnerabilities further by attuning to the entanglements of societies, species and environments, as well as acknowledging the ways of being that are foreclosed when entangled realities materialise.
We invite theoretical, ethical and empirical engagements with entanglements and detachments, as well as understudied connections and disconnections. Through the notion of ‘entanglement’ we invite conversation on the messy, layered connections that constitute our worlds. ‘Detachment’ explores the limits of entanglement, by pointing to the disparity between different lifeworlds, species, objects and subjects not only as outcomes of opposing power structures or connections yet to be drawn but also as separations. By thinking together about entanglements and detachments, we invite reflection on the ethics of (dis)connecting, or connecting differently, with other forms of life and matter in global politics.

Our website images: Bernhard Lang
Bernhard Lang is a Munich-based aerial photographer. Lang aims to find interesting patterns and structures on the surface of our planet. He takes particular interest in capturing images that show the impact of human activities on nature and the environment. Lang’s images free us from the bonds of gravity and allow us to take a more detached look at the world and our effect on it - both good and bad. It is this duality that Lang is most interested in investigating through his work, the strange balance between beauty and destruction, and the ongoing struggle for symbiosis between humankind and the earth we inhabit.
