These topics have often incorporated: Aid and Development, Defense and Security, Elections, Environment, Global Health, Human Rights, Humanitarian Aid, IMF and World Bank, Immigration, Information Technology and Media, International Drug Traffic, NATO, Peacekeeping and Conflict Resolution, Population, Religion, Terrorism, The UN, Trade and Globalization, US Role in the World, Women, General, Research and Analysis Links.

Previous notable contributors have included Samantha Power, Joseph Stiglitz, Georgian Ambassador Irakli Alasania, and United States Secretary for Homeland Security Michael Chertoff.[1]

According to President Richard Levin of Yale University: "Founded and edited by students in the departments and professional schools across the University, the Journal has accepted submissions from Yale students, faculty, and alumni, as well as prominent scholars and practitioners based elsewhere. The Yale Journal of International Affairs Graduate Student Publication serves as a unique showcase for the University’s broad expertise in international affairs and as an important forum for scholarly debate on global issues."
