Penn Political Review

Penn Political Review is a multi-partisan political publication. We expect papers to be heavily researched, arguments to be well analyzed and articulated, and interviews to be conducted with the utmost respect and integrity. PPR works to provide compelling insights into the world’s most pressing issues, while also being a guide for undergraduate students to shape both their own understanding of the world and their relationship to politics. Check out our latest edition to the right!
