Journal of Intelligence, Conflict, and Warfare (JICW)

The JICW is a practitioner-focused research resource and a researcher-focused opportunity to impact policy and real-world security and defence decision-making, presenting a canvas for both researchers and practitioners to explore new and emerging security problems. The journal aims to shine a light on new and emerging trends in conflict, security, and intelligence and brings to the fore issues that are under-researched. The JICW is contributing to new understandings of emerging norms and new and unconventional actors, explores hybrid and 5th-generation warfare, and informs current discourse on emerging threats. The purpose of the journal is to bridge distinct views on security issues and to address the current shift in global affairs, where the tension existing between the state and non-state actors is increasingly challenging state power and legitimacy. Lastly, the JICW examines the appearance of a change to the current international liberal economic order and collective security state of global affairs.

The JICW publishes peer-reviewed papers that significantly enhance contemporary knowledge through the development and application of theory, and/or through original research and analysis of a current security issue. We welcome high-quality research from around the world, and the JICW covers all areas of international security. The JICW is particularly concerned to make connections and build bridges, both between different disciplinary and theoretical perspectives and researchers and practitioners.

The JICW publishes on a tri-annual schedule, including the hosting of occasional special issues and annual conference proceedings.
