How to Read or Subscribe to E-International Relations on Substack

Updated

You can read E-International Relations online by visiting e-ir.org, where its Substack publication is hosted, or subscribe by entering your email address and agreeing to the publisher's Terms of Service, Substack's Terms of Use, and Substack's Information Collection Notice and Privacy Policy. The site requires JavaScript to run correctly, so if the page appears blank or the subscribe form does not load, enable JavaScript or unblock scripts in your browser.

Reading E-International Relations Online

E-International Relations describes itself as "the world's leading source for International Relations scholarship and insight." Its Substack page offers an online reading option alongside subscription.

To read without subscribing:

  1. Go to e-ir.org.
  2. Look for the "I want to read it online" option on the page.
  3. Select it to continue reading in your browser.

If nothing loads or the page seems broken, the most likely cause is that JavaScript is disabled. The site states plainly: "This site requires JavaScript to run correctly. Please turn on JavaScript or unblock scripts." Check your browser settings or any script-blocking extensions before assuming the site is down.

Subscribing by Email

The subscription flow on the page is straightforward:

  1. Enter your email address in the subscribe field.
  2. Confirm that you agree to the publisher's Terms of Service, Substack's Terms of Use, and Substack's Information Collection Notice and Privacy Policy.
  3. Submit the form to subscribe.

Once subscribed, you receive content updates through Substack, which typically delivers new posts by email and makes them available in the Substack reading interface. The page itself does not state a price, so do not assume the subscription is free or paid based on this page alone — check the current options during sign-up.

What You Get After Subscribing

Substack publications generally notify subscribers of new posts by email and keep an archive accessible online. For E-International Relations specifically, the page positions the publication around International Relations scholarship and insight, so expect that category of content rather than general news. The exact frequency and any paid tiers are not specified on the page — confirm those details at the point of subscription.
