Dynamics of Asymmetric Conflict Journal (DAC) welcomes submissions from a variety of perspectives from anthropology, communications, criminology, economics, geography, history, political science, computer science, psychology, and sociology. Scholars 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.
DAC seeks to publish high quality research that consists of original qualitative or quantitative research that may include interview reports, case histories, research experiments, and research briefs. DAC’s content also includes articles which review the literature or deal with theoretical issues stated in the literature as well as book reviews.
Articles will be assessed on two main criteria: (1) the degree to which the article contributes new knowledge to an understanding of conflict and terrorism. (2) the overall quality of the argument and its presentation. Contributions may be up to 10,000 words - acceptance will be based on value per page such that longer contributions must make larger contributions.
