Waging Peace: The Remarkable Proliferation of Cooperative Problem-Solving Resources Since World War II

By Tom Dunne

Category 7: Journals and Magazines on Peace, Conflict Resolution, Mediation and Negotiation

Introduction: When the first issue of American Political Science Review appeared in 1906, it was the lone academic journal in which you might find articles about peace and conflict resolution. Thirty years later, on the eve of World War II, the number of such journals had risen from one to six. But following the war, a remarkable growth of peace journals ensued. By 1957 the number had doubled to twelve, with the appearance of the Journal of Conflict Resolution - the first such publication to have the word “conflict” in its title. And in 1963 the first journal to have the word “peace” in its title, Peace Research Abstracts appeared. The total number of journals at that point was 18. Since then, the number of peace and conflict resolution journals has increased exponentially so that today researchers can choose from among a total of 219.

Below you will find: ● An alphabetical list of each of these publications, along with the date of their initial publication, ● A decade-by-decade listing of the founding dates of the publications, ● A table showing the growth of such journals, from 1906 to the present day. ● The sources of information which were used to identify these journals,
