The Politic: The Yale College Journal of Politics is a quarterly Yale University student publication that traces its roots to 1947, when the Yale Political Journal: A Magazine of Student Opinion was founded. It was revived in 1979 as Yale Political Monthly and known alternately as Yale Political Magazine during the next twenty years. Finally The Politic was established in the spring of 2001, inspired by the desire for undergraduates’ participation in debates about the 2000 presidential election and launched as a means to keep the greater Yale community informed about the most important local, national, and global political issues. The Politic features articles and commentary from students, professors, and prominent national politicians and is able to empower students by providing them access to the experience and insights of some of the most prominent political leaders and thinkers of our time. Building upon Yale's rich political heritage, The Politic strives to promote greater understanding and cooperation between academia and the world of politics.
