Cooperation and Conflict (CC)

Cooperation and Conflict is a long‑standing, quarterly peer‑reviewed academic journal in the discipline of International Relations, first published in 1965. It is one of the premier scholarly outlets for research that advances theoretical, empirical, conceptual, and methodological understandings of how states, organizations, and other actors cooperate and contend in world politics. While rooted in Nordic and European scholarly traditions, the journal has evolved into a globally relevant forum for diverse approaches to issues of peace, security, conflict resolution, diplomacy, norms, and international order. It values academic pluralism, encouraging submissions that bridge conceptual innovation with rigorous empirical work without privileging any single theoretical school. The journal is published in association with the Nordic International Studies Association and distributed by SAGE Publications. Articles typically explore core themes such as peace and conflict studies, international cooperation mechanisms, multilateralism, security dilemmas, and emerging geopolitical dynamics. In addition to full research articles, the journal occasionally features special issues on topical themes. Over its six‑decade history, Cooperation and Conflict has maintained a strong reputation for intellectual rigor, cross‑theoretical dialogue, and contributions that shape contemporary debates in international relations scholarship.
