About

The Panoply Journal prides itself on publishing articles about international relations and international security from students and professionals worldwide. The word "panoply" comes from the Greek "πανοπλία" and refers to the full armor of the hoplite soldier in ancient Greek times. Students of international relations will most likely have stumbled on the word in the History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides.
