PEACEBUILDING
CALL FOR PAPERS
Editors
Roger Mac Ginty and Oliver P. Richmond
University of Manchester, UK
New
Journal for
2013
From the first issue in 2013, Peacebuilding will be
an international, comparative, multidisciplinary journal
open to articles on contemporary and historical cases.
It will aim to provide in-depth analyses of the ideologies,
philosophies, interests, and policies that underpin
peacebuilding programmes and initiatives, and to connect
with debates being held by policymakers, civil society
personnel, scholars and students. The journal will be
open to quantitative and qualitative methodologies, and
will particularly welcome submissions that are prepared to
challenge orthodox views and add new empirical insights
into debates. Peacebuilding will be particularly interested in
contributions from the ‘subjects’ of peacebuilding, as well as
theoretical and methodological innovations. One of the themes
the editors are interested in is how the current peacebuilding
paradigm produces political subjectivity, and how this is
responded to by the recipients of peacebuilding operations.
Rethinking both western/liberal and local/context approaches to
peacebuilding is particularly crucial if this area of study is to move
beyond its current situation.
In addition to publishing original research articles, the editors
invite proposals for integrative review essays or symposia on
specific research areas. The editors also seek proposals to promote
discussion among scholars on innovative topics or projects. These
discussions might take several forms, including but not limited to
(1) a set of pieces tackling a common question or debate, (2) a research
article with several responses and a rejoinder, (3) “thought” pieces with responses
from a variety of perspectives, and (4) research workshops in which novel methodologies
or analytical approaches are presented and critiqued.
The journal will also periodically include reports on the work of major donors and the
Peacebuilding Commission, or other notable organisations in the field. It is our intention for
the Journal to become a high quality ‘go to’ resource for the study of peace and conflict.
