Academic publisher SAGE Publishing and the Environmental Peacebuilding Association (EnPAx) are partnering to launch a new peer-reviewed journal, Environment and Security – the first peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the understanding environment, climate, security, conflict, and peace linkages.
Environment and Security is an interdisciplinary, international, peer-reviewed journal. It seeks to publish innovative research on the intersections between environmental and security issues and to inspire debates by decision-makers and practitioners. The first of the quarterly publications is due to be published in the second half of 2023.
The journal’s title refers to security in a wide sense, encompassing international security, national security, human security, ontological security, and securitization, among others. Environment and Security is designed to provide a global forum for the growing group of scholars in these fields and is committed to theoretical and methodological diversity. It welcomes contributions from a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, environmental studies, economics, geography, law, peace and conflict, political science, and sociology – as well as insights from practitioners.
The founding Editor-in-Chief will be Dr. Ashok Swain, an academic and professor at the Department of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University, Sweden.
Dr. Swain will be supported by five Associate Editors: Carl Bruch, Esq. (Environmental Law Institute); Dr. Tobias Ide (Murdoch University); Dr. Päivi Lujala (University of Oulu); Dr. Richard Matthew (University of California, Irvine); and Dr. Erika Weinthal (Duke University).
Further information on the journal’s Editorial Board and opportunities to contribute will be made available soon.
