The Journal of International Trade and Diplomacy (JITD), a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal, is intended to serve as an outlet for theoretical and empirical research in all areas of international economics and international political economy with the focus on trade policy and diplomacy. The JITD, stressing the diplomacy dimension of international economic relations, is designed to meet the needs of academics, policy makers and practitioners.

The journal, published biannually, has been established at the initiative of the Undersecretariat of the Prime Ministry for Foreign Trade in Turkey.

It has an independent editorial policy and board.

The mission of the journal is to publish articles that deepen understanding of issues in international economics and international political economy. Priority is given to papers that are academically rigorous, but authors are also encouraged to make the results of modeling efforts or recent developments in theory accessible to a wider audience.

The JITD covers:

-trade and investment policies
-globalization and regional integration
-global economic governance including international organizations
-politics of international trade.

A double-blind peer review process assures that articles meet the highest standards in terms of theoretical and methodological rigor.
