Strife Blog – Call for Papers

Aside from our general call for papers, we also have blog series on four exciting topics. All blog series articles should be 1000-1200 words long and emailed to blog.coordinating.editor@strifeblog.org.

The series topics are as follows:

– ‘Grand Strategy of Middle Powers’ – China and America are already heavily discussed. But what about Japan or Brazil? Where do smaller, but no less important, players fit on the grand strategic stage?

– ‘Nuclear weapons and international security: the outlook for 2040’ – do you want to explore the political and technological future of nuclear armament? Now’s your chance!

– ‘Berber identities and conflicts in post-colonial North Africa’ – the Berber people sit at the centre of politics and conflict across much of North Africa. This is a great opportunity to analyse the region through this important lens.

– ‘Caribbean maritime security’ – the Caribbean isn’t as well studied as the Horn of Africa or the South China Sea, but that doesn’t make it any less interesting, or vital to the future of the Americas.

If you have an idea on any of these themes, or other aspects of conflict, do reach out and our editorial team would be happy to discuss possibilities. We look forward to receiving your submissions!

Last year, the Strife Blog published over sixty submissions as well as three dedicated series,  across a range of topics dealing with human conflict, broadly defined. Most recently, articles published on the Strife Blog dealt with intelligence oversight in the British Parliament to movements for political participation in West Papua. From pieces focused on localised conflict and from the field reporting, to debates on grand strategy and questions on the new World Order, Strife Blog also publishes interviews with academics, experts, specialists, and artists.

Conflict may be the continuation of politics by other means, but it is so much more than just that. That is why we especially value diverse perspectives on global issues – conflict is deeply unpredictable, so avoiding tunnel vision is crucial to providing relevant analysis. Strife Blog is open to submissions from analytical pieces on current affairs to engagements and reflections on history. We also welcome submissions of book, event, film, and exhibition reviews as well as interviews across all themes related to conflict.

Our articles are between 1200 and 1500 words, with a short bibliography and an image to go with the text. With both readership and contributors spanning both the academic and policy worlds, we engage in both the theoretical and practical. So, whether you are a first-time writer or an experienced veteran, our editorial team is here to help, providing comments and suggestions throughout your article. At Strife, editors do not dictate changes from on high, but rather work alongside you to refine your argument.

If you’re interested, our contact address remains open throughout the year – blog.submissions@strifeblog.org.

For any general questions, you can contact the Managing Editor at blog@strifeblog.org.

We’re looking forward to your submissions!
