Thank you for visiting The Internationalist website. This is the first issue of our online journal for international affairs. No matter where you live in the world, if you have a strong view about the course of world events, write about it in a format similar to those of the current articles and email it to us. This page will serve as an online dialogue for students around the world. We will not remove the articles, even when they lose immediate relevance because we believe they serve an important function as a record of global student opinion on world events. As tensions--between governments and people--around the world reach fever pitch, The Internationalist is dedicated to bringing together young people whose governments may be at odds. We hope you enjoy.
