About the Journal

The Journal welcomes innovative contributions about Peace, and analytical approaches that can help an understanding of peace from an analytical perspective, not only anecdotal.

One specific area of focus is the topics discussed in the book 'Nuclear Weapons and International Law - 3rd edition', and this Journal is promoted specifically to readers of that book who are encouraged to submit papers.

By innovative, the Journal encourages contributions that go beyond a simplistic view that peace is the absence of war and conflict. Contributions that are focussed more on war or the absence of peace should indicate the contribution's relevance for an understanding of peace. In terms of nuclear weapons, there are some pareticular challenges given the very poor quality of governments and governance, and the behaviour of all the nuclear weapons states that can be considered to be rogue states in terms of international law.

Contribution can mean full academic paper, discussion of research in progress, learning and teaching notes, case studies, and whatever contributors consider useful for an understanding of Peace.

Copyright will normally be left in the hands of the contribution authors who should be contacted about any further use of the contribution. Contribution authors are welcome to include any notes about how their work may be used by others.

Where possible, contributions will be peer reviewed or open reviewed. Shortly, there will be a discussion forum associated with this site. which can be used for the purpose of making a contribution available publicly for comment and feedback, prior to writing a final version to be considered for publication in the Journal.
