Founded in 1975 and published biannually, The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs is the student-managed foreign policy journal at The Fletcher School. The publication provides a broad, interdisciplinary platform for analysis of legal, political, economic, environmental, and diplomatic issues in international affairs. Each year, The Forum publishes winter and summer editions. In the early 2000s, the editorial team decided to a launch a complimentary website to feature short-form analysis on the same timely array of topics critical to the print edition. The website also features a student blog, known as The Rostrum. In 2020, The Forum added a podcast to facilitate conversation with experts in the international relations field.

The editorial board of The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs believes that the publication's audience values and expects the inclusion of conflicting viewpoints, and does not expect readers to concur with all of the views expressed by Forum authors. This inherent diversity supports the very definition of a "forum," i.e., a public meeting place for open discussion.

The views and opinions expressed in the journal are solely those of individual authors and should not be regarded as reflecting any official opinion or position of The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs, The Fletcher School, Tufts University, or its faculty, staff, and administration.
