Security Dialogue (SD)
Journal Descriptions
Security Dialogue is an internationally recognized, peer‑reviewed academic journal that serves as a premier forum for critical and interdisciplinary scholarship on security, war, conflict, and peace. Since its establishment in 1970, the journal has evolved into one of the most influential outlets in security studies, publishing research that bridges theoretical innovation and empirical insight. Its bimonthly issues feature articles that push the boundaries of how security is understood, studied, and practiced across a wide range of contexts — from localized conflicts and identity politics to global challenges such as terrorism, environmental insecurity, pandemics, and transnational risk. Contributors to Security Dialogue employ diverse methodological and theoretical frameworks, including political sociology, cultural analysis, philosophical inquiry, and critical theory. The journal is committed to fostering dialogue across the arts, humanities, and social sciences, and to stimulating debate that challenges conventional paradigms of security. In recent years, Security Dialogue has broadened its editorial vision, incorporating perspectives from gender studies, postcolonial thought, and political economy. With its rigorous double‑anonymized peer‑review process and commitment to high academic standards, the journal attracts contributions from scholars, practitioners, and advanced researchers worldwide, making it essential reading for those engaged in cutting‑edge research on contemporary security issues.
