About this book series
This Palgrave Macmillan book series invites methodologically pluralist and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of peace and conflict. We aim to bring new knowledge and pathways for understanding conflicts and conflict actors. Thematically, we welcome monographs, strong edited works, and handbooks on peacekeeping, peacebuilding, trauma, war-to-peace transitions, statebuilding, violent extremism, corruption, non-state armed groups, global and regional organisations, and inter-organisationalism relating to conflict management.
We are particularly keen on interdisciplinary work– especially where politics and international relations intersect with sociology, anthropology, law, psychology, geography, criminology, technology, gender studies, and area studies. And we are broadly interested in conflict writ large, beyond the bounds of civil and interstate war, stretching over into urban violence, sexual violence, post-colonial reparations, transitional justice, etc. Our goal is not just for your manuscript to be published, but to be read, discussed, contemplated, and acted upon. To that end, we seek research findings that are compelling, and writing that is memorable and immersive.The principal aim of this series is to provide educators and students, decision-makers, and everyday citizens with contemporary, cutting-edge thinking about the roots of conflict, international responses, and the conditions for just and enduring peace. The series includes unorthodox and cross-disciplinary approaches to these topics, as well as more traditional social scientific and humanistic monographs.
We strongly encourage early-career scholars and innovative researchers – especially those from under-represented backgrounds – to submit manuscripts for review. All titles in the series are peer-reviewed and we aim to provide rapid and constructive feedback. We also welcome open access arrangements.For an informal discussion for a book in the series, please contact the series editors Christine Cheng (christine.cheng@kcl.ac.uk) and John Karlsrud (jka@nupi.no).
