INTERNATIONAL SECURITY & STRATEGIC STUDIES
Call for Papers
About the Journal
The Journal of International Security and Strategic Studies, a publication supported
by the UVU Center for National Security Studies at Utah Valley University, seeks submissions
for its second publication in Spring of 2022. The Journal of International Security
and Strategic Studies aims to bring further scholarly and professional insight into
the current state of international affairs, with a particular emphasis on issues related
to strategy and security. This journal is intended to a forum for both practitioners
in the strategy and security fields and academics from a variety of backgrounds to
share ideas and perspectives on the current state of the security world. By combining
both professional and academic perspectives on pressing security and strategic matters,
we hope to foster and further increase cooperation between these two communities.
We seek submissions that are timely, impactful, and can further contribute to the
scholarly discourse on security and strategy.
