Strife is pleased to announce the opening of the fourth round of Call for Papers for 2020, with a deadline for all papers of 03 January 2021.
Strife publishes articles on the theme of conflict, broadly defined. Submissions may include studies of conflict in history, art and media, of the relationship between war and state, of the interrelation of war and society, analyses of strategy, operations and military tactics, diplomacy and international relations, as well as more narrowly defined subjects. There is no restriction as to period or geographical focus.
Strife Journal - Call for Papers
Articles should be between 4000–5000 words and include an abstract of 100 words. Submitted articles must meet the outlined submission guidelines. Articles that do not meet referencing and formatting guidelines risk being rejected for publication.

Strife Blog - Call for Papers
Aside from our general call for papers, we also have blog series on four exciting topics. All blog series articles should be 1000-1200 words long and emailed to [email protected].
The series topics are as follows:
- ‘Grand Strategy of Middle Powers’ – China and America are already heavily discussed. But what about Japan or Brazil? Where do smaller, but no less important, players fit on the grand strategic stage?
- ‘Nuclear weapons and international security: the outlook for 2040’ – do you want to explore the political and technological future of nuclear armament? Now’s your chance!
- ‘Berber identities and conflicts in post-colonial North Africa’ – the Berber people sit at the centre of politics and conflict across much of North Africa. This is a great opportunity to analyse the region through this important lens.
- ‘Caribbean maritime security’ – the Caribbean isn’t as well studied as the Horn of Africa or the South China Sea, but that doesn’t make it any less interesting, or vital to the future of the Americas.

If you have an idea on any of these themes, or other aspects of conflict, do reach out and our editorial team would be happy to discuss possibilities. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
