Dynamics of Asymmetric Conflict (DAC) is a pioneering interdisciplinary journal that publishes original papers and reviews that contribute to understanding and ameliorating conflicts between states and non-state challengers. These conflicts too often lead to violence, sometimes to the extremes of terrorism or genocide. Understanding the trajectory to violence requires examination of conflicts that do not escalate to violence as well as those that do. This means studying individuals, groups, and movements who challenge the state without violence, as well as those who turn to radicalism and terrorism. Similarly, it is necessary to study state agents, agencies, and policy makers who respond to challenge without violence, as well as those who turn to torture, ethnic cleansing and genocide.It follows from this multi-level and dynamic perspective that every social science is welcome in the journal. Scholars from anthropology, communications, criminology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology and sociology are invited to join in a new subculture that includes policy makers, analysts, and officers of police, military and intelligence services, as well as officers of non-governmental organizations and foundations interested in peace and conflict. DAC aims to support an academic-practitioner community that will learn how to prevent and ameliorate violence between states and non-state challengers.The form of contributions is open, and may include interview reports, case histories, survey research, experiments, text analyses, formal modelling, empirical or theoretical reviews, notes identifying new directions of research needed or in progress, and media reviews.Contributions may be between 1,000-5,000 words; acceptance will be based on value per page such that longer contributions must make larger contributions.Special IssuesThe editors will occasionally invite related papers on a special topic, with the aim of publishing these papers as a special issue of the journal. Special issue authors are encouraged to offer their papers together as a panel presentation at a conference or annual meeting that can provide feedback and context in relation to the topic of interest.KeywordsActivism; conflict resolution; conflict transformation; dehumanization; ethnic cleansing; ethnic conflict; extremism; fanaticism; globalization; insurgency; negotiation; political violence; peacebuilding; protest; radicalization; rebellion; repression; social movement; state terrorism; transitional justice; torture.Peer Review IntegrityAll research articles in this journal, including those in special issues, special sections or supplements, have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two independent referees.Disclaimer NoticeTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.
