The Journal for the Study of Peace and Conflict, the multidisciplinary journal of the Wisconsin Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies, ISSN 1095-1962, publishes a variety of scholarly articles, essays, and poetry on topics such as war, peace, global cooperation, domestic violence, teaching approaches, and interpersonal conflict resolution; including questions of military and political security, the global economy, and global environmental issues. We wish to promote discussion of both strategic and ethical questions surrounding issues of war, peace, the environment, and justice.

The Wisconsin Institute is committed to a balanced review of diverse perspectives. Submissions are welcome from all disciplines. Our intended audience includes scholars from a wide range of interests within the university community and educated members of the larger public. The format allows the publication of original, previously-unpublished works of sufficient length to give authors the opportunity to discuss a particular topic in depth. Other forms of creative writing are invited. Contributors should avoid submissions accessible only to specialists in their field. The Journal for the Study of Peace and Conflict also includes book reviews. Persons interested in reviewing should contact the editor.

Submissions should be about 20-25 pages, double-spaced (up to 10,000 words). All manuscripts should be composed in Microsoft Word. Citations should be in the body of the text, e.g., (Jones, p. 35), with a full bibliography at the end of the article. Short content footnotes are okay. Include separately a brief bio statement with a note that includes your institution, your e-mail and mailing addresses, and work phone number.

The 2010-2011 edition is in the editing process.

We are now soliciting submissions for the 2011-2012 edition.

Deadline for submissions is December 1, 2011.

Participants in our fall 2011 conference are encouraged to submit their papers.

Submissions should be sent electronically to the Wisconsin Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies at wiinst@uwsp.edu.
