Mission
The Politic is Yale’s undergraduate journal of politics and culture. The Politic traces its roots to 1947, when a group of students started the Yale Political Journal: A Magazine of Student Opinion, or the Journal for short.
“We have coined as our by-line, ‘a magazine of student opinion,’” the founding editors wrote, “presupposing that student opinion is worthy of separation from the attitudes of other groups and that it is worthy as well of attention and study.” Though over the years the Journal dissolved, this founding belief did not.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
