The LSE International Development Review (IDR) is a student-led academic journal managed by the LSESU International Development Society at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). The journal aims to foster a global conversation on sustainable development by exploring diverse interdisciplinary fields such as development studies, migration studies, political economy, human development, environmental science, and global health. Contributions from other relevant fields of international development are also encouraged.

Aims and Scope

The IDR seeks to advance the discourse on sustainable development by offering a platform for rigorous analysis and innovative policy debate.

Sustainability is a core pillar of the IDR. Whether focused on economic, environmental, or social dimensions, articles in the journal critically evaluate sustainable policies and propose solutions that align with long-term global development goals.
