Peace and Conflict Monitor

The PEACE & CONFLICT MONITOR is not a campaigning publication; instead we trust in the power of balanced opinion, rational attitudes, accurate news and information, and the good sense of the readership to provide an atmosphere whereby our MONITOR can be seen as a valuable and regular source for those who wish to work toward understanding a world all too often riddled with violent conflict, but one, nevertheless, that can be turned into a vastly better world that we all, regardless of geography, nationality, religion, gender or race, deserve.

Generally speaking, we welcome well-written, readable pieces after both a journalistic and an academic pattern. They should be well founded in source material and empirical data. No fees are paid.

We invite interested writers to contribute original pieces (normally not previously published) in the categories listed below, though we are open to suggestion and are more than happy to listen to suggestions.

COMMENT
Preferably shorter rather than longer pieces on anything current related to Peace and Violent Conflict: the Monitor will consider a sideways look, possibly satirical, opinionated or unusual in some way short of being puerile and flippant. Historical comment will be accepted if it has contemporary relevance.

NEWS ROUNDUP
A seriously considered piece not less than 1,000 words analysing how the news has been presented by any part of the media dealing with an issue relevant to the concerns of the magazine.

SPECIAL REPORT
Dealing with a specialist subject of current interest, especially one that may not be normally covered by the mass media.

ANALYSIS
A thoroughly researched piece (not mere cut and paste from previous news items) that covers subject matter relating directly to any aspect of peace and violent conflict or strongly associated. These pieces must be no less than 2,000 words in length, and well researched but readable while maintaining high standards in relation to factual accuracy.

DIARIES
A personal reflection or essay, often recounting an experience or anecdote that sheds light on some topic relevant to peace and conflict. Short pieces are best, and form requirements are very flexible.

Format: Submissions should include a brief (‹100 words) summary of the piece, along with a one- or two-line biography describing the author’s background and qualifications. Articles should be Microsoft Word files sent as attachments.

Copyright and style: The magazine will normally retain the copyright of original material printed in the PEACE & CONFLICT MONITOR unless the author requests otherwise. The Editors reserve the right to edit material for publication and to adjust style to the emerging house style of the magazine.
