Georgetown Security Studies Review (GSSR)

The Georgetown Security Studies Review (GSSR) is the official academic review of Georgetown University’s Center for Security Studies. Its mission is to contribute to security policy debates by exposing both specialists and general interest readers to a wide array of perspectives on both current and historical international affairs issues. In addition to full-length peer-reviewed articles, issues of GSSR feature literature reviews, letters to the editors, and op-ed pieces.

SSP students are encouraged to either contribute to the peer-edited journal or write for the GSSR Forum, an online-only component of GSSR which hopes to contribute to ongoing debates about U.S. foreign policy, national security, and international security.

GSSR also has a student podcast team which students can apply to join at the beginning of each semester. The Precision-Guided Podcast (PGP) is the official podcast of the Georgetown Security Studies Review, where we discuss all things national security, history, military, and foreign policy. Listeners can tune in to the PGP via all their usual podcast platforms. Even if not on the podcast team, students can email GSSR with suggestions for episode topics and guests.
