The Berkeley Political Review is a semesterly, nonpartisan political magazine and website published by the students of University of California, Berkeley. It was founded shortly after September 11th, 2001.[1] Through printed publications and multimedia projects, the Review covers international and domestic political affairs. Submissions are limited; to write for, edit, or otherwise staff the magazine, undergraduate students must apply at the beginning of each semester.[2]
The Berkeley Political Review is notable for being the first journal based out of a public university to join the Alliance of Collegiate Editors, whose members include political reviews at Brown, Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia, among others.[3] Members of the Review have also hosted or co-hosted a number of debates, interviews, and panels.[4][5][6]
