Peace and Security Studies

Achieving international peace and security is the major goal of the United Nations and of many other global, regional and national governmental and nongovernmental organizations. Peace and Security studies refer two totally different study programmes in the social sciences that are influenced by different schools, paradigms, wordviews and mindsets of the analysts. The Peace and Security Studies (ESDP-PSS) subseries is a peer-reviewed book subseries that focuses on different international, national and humanitarian peace and security issues, both theoretical analyses and original empirical analyses from different disciplines including history, political science, economics, sociology, psychology, and anthropology. This subseries addresses environmental, security, development and peace issues and six dyadic conceptual relationships among them: i) peace and security; ii) peace and environment; iii) development and security; iv) environment and development; v) development and security; and vi) environment and security. Peace and Security Studies (ESDP-PSS) welcome book proposals from scholars from the social sciences who are working on these four key themes on a region, sending and receiving countries or on the impact of the countries of origin and the target countries of human movements. This subseries includes original monographs, edited books (e.g. workshop or research reports) and very good academic qualification studies (PhD and Ma/Msc theses). A key goal of this subseries is to give scholars from the global South more voice and visibility in the peer reviewed literature.
