AHIF Policy Journal

AHI Foundation Online American Journal Of Contemporary Hellenic Issues

AHIF debuted its Online Policy Journal in July 2009. “The purpose of the online Journal is to offer a forum for our readers, including members of Congress and other government officials, by which they can examine issues concerning the United States, Greece, Cyprus and Turkey in a format that is more comprehensive and detailed than many of our traditional press releases and letters” wrote Gene Rossides in the foreword.

AHIF Policy Journal will be published semi-annually by the American Hellenic Institute Foundation. Each issue of the journal will generally contain a scholarly article and shorter articles, essays or briefing papers on policy issues, student notes and book reviews.
Our goal is to provide a forum to promote the exchange of ideas and encourage a dialogue on United States relations with Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Southeastern Europe and the Middle East.
