Contemporary Security Policy
Aims & Scope
One of the oldest peer reviewed journals in international conflict and security, Contemporary Security Policy promotes theoretically-based research on policy problems of armed violence, peace building and conflict resolution. Since it first appeared in 1980, CSP has established its unique place as a meeting ground for research at the nexus of theory and policy.
Spanning the gap between academic and policy approaches, CSP offers policy analysts a place to pursue fundamental issues, and academic writers a venue for addressing policy.
The journal emphasizes debate on:
- War and armed conflict
- Strategic culture
- Defence policy
- National and International Security
- Conflict resolution
- Arms control and disarmament
Contemporary Security Policy, is committed to a broad range of intellectual perspectives. Articles promote new analytical approaches, iconoclastic interpretations and previously overlooked perspectives. Its pages encourage novel contributions and outlooks, not particular methods or outlooks. Authors are encouraged to examine established issues in innovative ways and to apply traditional methods to new problems.
