The Journal of Peacebuilding and Development (JPD) is a tri-annual refereed journal providing a forum for critical thinking and constructive action at the intersections of conflict, development and peace. JPD is calling for papers for the Special Issue Volume 17, Issue 3 Transforming Our Common Crisis: Climate Change and the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus to be published in December 2022. JPD aims to develop theory-practice and South-North dialogues, foregrounding qualitative methodologies that highlight the micro, hidden impacts of dominant policies and practices. 

All manuscripts submitted to the Journal should be original contributions and are subject to a double-blind peer review process. With occasional exceptions, the editors prioritize articles based on empirically grounded case studies. All submissions must link issues of peace and/or conflict with some aspect of development. Please note that the article should not be under consideration by other publishers. Articles are read by the Journal's editors as well as by two to four outside reviewers. The following types of submissions will be considered:

  • Full articles: critical case studies and/or thematic discussion and analysis of topical peacebuilding and development themes; 8,000 word maximum, including references and endnotes;
  • Briefings: discussions of 1) training, peacebuilding and intervention strategies and impact, 2) policy review/analysis, or 3) country briefings; 2,500 word maximum;
  • Policy Dialogues: short policy briefings engaging key international policy priorities, e.g. the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, COP26 and other climate/ environmental policy dialogues or frameworks; 2,500 word maximum;
  • Resources: notices of new books, reports, upcoming conferences, videos, e-communications and websites; 150 word maximum;
  • Documents: declarations, communiques, and other relevant NGO or multilateral organization statements; 1,000 word maximum.

Submission deadline: Authors are advised to send abstracts only by the CfP deadline of January 11, 2021. Abstracts should be 250-500 words and indicate if the intention is a full article (8000 words) or briefing (2500 words). Full submissions that miss this deadline may be considered up until February 22, 2022, depending on space, and can still be referred to future issues.

You will be asked to submit your abstract in a text field (word limited) and are also required to submit a main document which should contain the following information: title; author contact details (mailing, phone, email); bio; keywords; full abstract.
