Aims and Scope

The interdisciplinary scholarship which deals with dispute resolution belongs to a wide range of academic areas: International Studies, Psychology, Law, Sociology, Anthropology, Economics, and even Philosophy and Literature.  Recognizing this interdisciplinary context of the field, the International Journal of Conflict Engagement and Resolution (IJCER) aspires to provide a broad academic perspective  about conflict resolution, combining knowledge from both social sciences and humanities in order to improve our understanding of disputes and the ways to creatively engage them.  

IJCER strives to present results of rigorous studies that will enhance the empirical, theoretical, prescriptive and practical understanding of this still emerging field. IJCER invites analyses of methodological areas which are unique to the conflict resolution theme, as well as results of original studies of interest to scholars and practitioners in the field. Indeed, one of the distinctive features of IJCER will be its abiding interest in the nexus between rigorous theory and systematic practice.
