Arts & International Affairs  is the official journal of the Policy Studies Organization and of the Institute for International Cultural Relations at The University of Edinburgh.

AIA interrogates the nexus between the arts, politics and markets through a global perspective. Situated within international contexts, the arts encompass the performing, creative and visual industries that envelop the modes of expression in the global political economy. AIA’s interdisciplinary style is imperative to capturing the intersections between people, their creations, their services and institutions. Artistic works often transcend borders and provoke local, national and transnational engagement.

The international character of the journal is confirmed both by the multinational membership of the Scientific Committee and authors from scientific centers from all over the world. A high level of content is ensured by the fact that all articles are subject to a double-blind review process by recognized authorities in the given fields of science. The journal brings expert opinions and results of the scientific studies related to cultural management in a wide range of the scientific fields.
