Modern Security Studies

This series fills a known gap in modern security studies literature by pursuing a curated, forward-looking editorial approach on looming and evergreen security challenges.  Short and long form works will be considered with an eye towards developing content that is widely suitable for instruction and research alike.  Works adhere around the series’ four main categories: Controversies, Cases, Trends and Primers.  We invite proposals that pay particular attention to controversies in international security, notably those that have resulted in newly exposed and poorly defined risks to non-state legitimacy, international or state capacities to act, and shifts in global governance.  Case studies should examine recent historical events and security-related actions that have altered present day understanding or political calculations.  Trends will need to detail future yet tangible concerns in a 5-10 year timeframe.  Authors are also invited to submit proposals to our primers category for short form works on key topics that are referenced and taught throughout security studies.
