Berkeley Political Review

The Berkeley Political Review is a semesterly, nonpartisan political magazine and website founded at the University of California, Berkeley shortly after September 11th, 2001. 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.

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. Members of the Review have also hosted or co-hosted a number of debates, interviews, and panels, including engagements with Barbara Lee, Alex Chow, Sergio Fajardo, Richard Muller, Andrea Saul, and Dennis Prager.
