The Africa Peace and Conflict Journal seeks to provide a vehicle for African scholars, and those focusing on Africa, to publish their views on issues of peace and conflict affecting the continent.
The APCJ deals with peace and conflict issues from a multi-disciplinary and distinctly African perspective. Researchers from any discipline peace and conflict studies,
international relations, history, sociology, political science, media studies,
law, etc. are invited to submit papers, book reviews and briefings for
publication. The APCJ will endeavour to publish articles reflecting a
diversity of topics and a diversity of approaches.
The theme for June 2010 APCJ issue is on Peace, Conflict and Development
Papers should be 7,000 words maximum and be critical case studies and/or thematic discussions and analyses of topical peace and conflict themes. Book reviews should be 1,500 words maximum and briefings should be 2,000 words maximum, there will be a preference for reviews
of decisive works that have transformed global thinking on African peace and
conflict in the past thirty years. It
is hoped that these reviews and briefings will serve to address the growing
demand for research on the continent.
The aim of the APCJ is to make Africa's voice on the pivotal issue of peace and conflict on the continent heard, and to help ensure that the scholarly community in Africa engages with one another on issues relating to continental peace and security.
