The journal welcomes contributions that move beyond conventional frameworks and explore new theoretical, methodological, and empirical approaches to peace research. It actively supports scholarship that engages with contemporary global realities such as youth movements, gender justice, climate insecurity, political transitions, digital activism, and shifting geopolitical dynamics. By doing so, PEACEWORKS remains responsive to the evolving nature of conflict and peacebuilding in the modern world.
PEACEWORKS places strong emphasis on inclusivity and diversity of voices. It provides a platform for scholars from South Asia and the Global South while fostering meaningful engagement with international academic communities. The journal seeks to create space for early-career researchers alongside established scholars, encouraging intergenerational dialogue and fresh perspectives in peace and development studies.
