History

edit
 
The cover of the first issue of The Fletcher Forum, Fall 1976.[21]
 
The cover of the 13th volume, in 1989, using for the first time the journal's new name.[20]

The journal was established in the fall of 1976 as The Fletcher Forum: A Journal of Graduate Studies in International Affairs. The director was Jeffrey A. Sheehan and the editorial board was chaired by Shashi Tharoor.[21][22] The journal obtained its current name in 1989.[20]

In 2006, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the journal, Tharoor explained in a retrospective article in The Forum how the journal was created principally "as an outlet for student research and writing", but that over time it had become an "established journal" in its field, "attracting contributors of great distinction and attaining (and maintaining) the exacting standards the world has come to expect from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy."[23] The issue also highlighted some of the notable contributors, including Kofi Annan, John Bolton, Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, Paul H. Nitze.[24][25] Other notable contributors and interviewees have included Al Gore, Madeleine Albright, James Baker, William J. Perry, Joseph Dunford, James G. Stavridis, Dominique de Villepin and Juan Manuel Santos.[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]

In another article in the journal, Ambassador Stephen Bosworth during his tenure as the Dean of the Fletcher School, called it "a major publication of international affairs", which provides an outlet for "thoughtful leaders in international affairs to share their insight on our changing world.", "as the world's political focus moves away from superpower domination and continues to struggle with issues of economic growth, human rights, and climate change."[24]
