Interesting site--especially because one of our alums, Jordan Barber '09 has a piece there comparing Al Qaeda and Hamas, and even more so because he wrote it for one of my classes.
Terrorism Near and Far, Strategic and Symbolic:
The Origins, Intentions and Future Threats of al Qaeda and Hezbollah

Here's the blurb on the site:
Created in November 2007 by students from the UK universities of Oxford, Leicester and Aberystwyth, e-International Relations (e-IR) is a hub of information and analysis on some of the key issues in international politics.
As well as editorials contributed by students, leading academics and policy-makers, you’ll find essays, diverse perspectives on global news, lecture podcasts and the very latest jobs from academia, politics and international development.
Pieces written for e-IR have been referenced and republished by organisations including the Wall Street Journal, World Politics Review, openDemocracy.net, Human Security Gateway and the Global Policy Forum. In addition, essays and editorials have been identified by publishers to be reprinted in edited volumes.
e-IR is recommended by universities on almost every continent (we haven’t reached Antarctica yet!) and received more than two and a half million hits in its first year. It is the world’s leading student-run website on international relations.
If you would like to contribute to e-IR please send us an email or look at the ‘Get involved’ page for more information.
