African Conflict & Peacebuilding Review

wkimya@nova.edu (Kimya Walker) — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 15:37:17 +0000

African Conflict & Peacebuilding Review

Indiana University Press, in partnership with the Africa Peace and Conflict Network and the West African Research Association, will launch the African Conflict & Peacebuilding Review (ACPR) in early 2011. Its editors include Abu Bakarr Bah at Northern Illinois University, Mark Davidheiser (Nova Southeastern University), Tricia Redeker Hepner (University of Tennessee), and Niklas Hultin (American University). ACPR is an interdisciplinary forum for creative and rigorous studies of conflict and peace in Africa and for discussions between scholars, practitioners, and public intellectuals in Africa, the United States, and other parts of the world.

It will include a wide range of theoretical, methodological, and empirical perspectives on the causes of conflicts and peace processes including, among others, cultural practices relating to conflict resolution and peacebuilding, legal and political conflict preventative measures, and the intersection of international, regional, and local interests and conceptions of conflict and peace.

The journal will take a holistic view of peace and conflict and will focus not only on large-scale international conflict and armed conflict but also peace and conflict dynamics at other levels—e.g., interpersonal, intra-group, and inter-group—and dispute settlement through customary law and cultural practices. Its scope will encompass the entire African continent, and it will incorporate works on all of its areas.

In addition to research articles, editorials, comments, and interviews that will resonate with scholars, policy makers, and practitioners, it will include podcasts, photos, and essays that are suitable for teaching and public discourse and is intended to make high quality scholarship engaging and easy to use in the classroom.

ACPR is a joint publication of the Africa Peace and Conflict Network, the West African Research Association, and Indiana University Press. It is published twice a year.
