Journal of Global Security Studies

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Global Security Studies (JoGSS) aims to publish cutting-edge research which offers a significant, rigorous and original contribution to our understanding of global security and global aspects of debates in security studies.

The journal welcomes a variety of methodological, epistemological, theoretical, normative, and empirical approaches to the study of traditional and non-traditional security issues.

JoGSS is particularly committed to encouraging dialogue, engagement, and conversation between different parts of the field and across regional boundaries.

Due to the volume of submissions we receive, articles that do not make clear how their research links with debates in security studies, or global security issues, will not be considered.
