Call for Papers

The University of Missouri Peace Studies Review is a peer reviewed interdisciplinary journal devoted to the pursuit of knowledge and continuing inquiry into how conflict in all aspects of life, from interpersonal to international, can be resolved in a non-violent manner; how a culture of peace can be developed and maintained in civil society; and the nature of the relationship of peace to social and economic justice.

Peace as a scholarly pursuit encompasses all academic areas of the modern university. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all disciplines (e.g., the fine arts, physical sciences, social sciences, humanities and professional schools) and seeks to enhance the diverse scholarly approaches one finds in the contemporary academy. The thrust of this endeavor is to create a top quality journal reflective of Research Extensive university scholarship.

Articles are accepted on the basis of congruence with the stated purpose of the journal, importance of the contribution to existing literature, conceptual and written clarity, and sound methodology. Manuscripts submitted to The University of Missouri Peace Studies Review may not be published elsewhere except by invitation only.
