The Economics of Peace and Security Journal (EPSJ) addresses business and economic aspects of peace and security, ranging from the interpersonal and communal domains to transboundary and global affairs. Our scope includes all violent and nonviolent conflict affecting human and nonhuman life as well as their implications for our common habitat, Earth. Special attention is paid to constructive proposals for nonviolent conflict resolution and peacemaking. While open to noneconomic approaches, most contributions emphasize economic analysis of causes, consequences, and possible solutions to prevent, or else mitigate, conflict and violence. Contributions are scholarly or practitioner-based. Submissions are screened for plagiarism and all published articles are peer-reviewed. The journal follows and enforces international publication ethics standards for editors, authors, reviewers, and all others involved in its publication. No responsibility for the views expressed by the authors in this journal is assumed by EPS Publishing, by the editor, or by Economists for Peace and Security. Written and edited for high-quality content, clarity, and readability, EPSJ is aimed at specialist and nonspecialist readers alike, including academics, policy decisionmakers, policy analysts, national and international civil servants, members of the armed forces and of peacekeeping services, the business community, nongovernmental organizations, religious institutions, and other interested parties.
