The rapid transformation of the international system, shifts in patterns of power, the expansion of communication and information technologies, the emergence of new security challenges, and profound social and political changes have increasingly highlighted the need to reconsider the concepts, theories, and strategies of political science and media studies. In this context, Journal of Contemporary Iranian Political and Media Studies seeks to provide a scholarly platform for advancing specialized knowledge and fostering academic dialogue through the publication of scientific, analytical, and innovative research in various fields of political science, international relations, strategic studies, and media studies.

The journal invites university faculty members, researchers, graduate students, and experts and scholars in the fields of politics and media to submit their scientific and research articles, particularly studies demonstrating theoretical, methodological, and practical innovation, for peer review and publication.
