Writer's Guidelines and Submission Information

Peace Review publishes essays on ideas and research in peace studies, broadly defined. Our essays are relatively short (2500-3500 words), and are intended for a wide readership. We are most interested in the cultural and political issues surrounding conflicts occurring between nations and peoples. Since we are a transnational journal (we distribute to more than 40 nations), we want to avoid speaking with the voice of any particular national culture or politics. Relevant topics include war, violence, human rights, political economy, development, culture and consciousness, the environment, and related issues. Generally, we do not reprint essays that have been published elsewhere.

Since we publish Essays rather than articles, please observe the following rules:

1. We need a short title-we do not run titles divided by a colon.
2. We do not run figures or tables but can run drawings or photos.
3. We do not run subheadings but we do make periodic breaks in the text using drop-caps. To indicate where you would like breaks, skip an extra line in the text.
4. We do not run footnotes or endnotes but we do print "Recommended Readings" at the end of each essay. They should appear in the following format:
   Books

   • Parkin, Sara. 1994. The Life and Death of Petra Kelly. London: Pandora.
   Articles

   • Fagan, Richard R. 1983. "Theories of Development." Monthly Review (September): 1324.
   Chapters

   Tunnell, Kenneth D. 1992. "Worker Insurgency and Social Control." in Jeffrey Ian Ross (ed.), Violence in Canada. Toronto: Oxford University Press.

All essays run in the journal will be thoroughly edited to meet our requirements for style, length, and good English. If your essay needs extensive editing, we will ask you to resubmit. If your essay needs less editing, and if we can edit it without changing the essay's meaning, we will assume you are inviting us to do so. We cannot return your edited essay for your approval. Papers accepted become the copyright of the Journal, unless otherwise specifically agreed.

Each senior author will receive one PDF of their essay and a complete copy of the relevant journal issue. We welcome correspondence, and will publish short letters. We also want to recommend good new books and videos, and will publish favorable short reviews-not more than 800 words each. We also publish "Peace Profiles," comprised of short biographies of distinguished peace activists from around the world. We organize each issue of Peace Review around a particular theme but we also publish essays, which we welcome at any time, outside our issue themes.

Book Review Guidelines and Submission Information

We publish book reviews of recommended books; reviews should therefore be positive. Submissions should be no longer than 2000 words. Review essays comparing two books should be no longer than 3500 words. Email your essay (including correspondence information and a short, 1-2 line, biography of yourself) to Stephen Cole, Book Review Editor at: scole@ndnu.edu.
