CFP: The Journal of Regional Security

The Journal of Regional Security announces a call for papers for a special issue on "Security Community Building: Bridging the Theory/Policy Divide." During the past decades academic and policy communities, dealing with international politics and security, have significantly parted ways. The goal of the special issue is to help bring the two worlds together in order to widen and deepen the knowledge and practice of security community building. The editors are welcoming papers that offer novel and theoretically sound understanding of security community building practices. We are specifically interested in papers drawing on the recent "practice turn" in International Relations and Security Studies. Manuscripts should be submitted to jrs@fpn.bg.ac.rs by September 10, 2012. Guidelines for authors can be downloaded here. The Journal of Regional Security (former Western Balkans Security Observer) is the first peer-reviewed journal specializing in the field of regional security studies. It was established in 2006 by Belgrade Centre for Security Policy and since 2012 is being co-published with the Faculty of Political Sciences/University of Belgrade. Please see the journal website for more information.
