Small Wars Journal

Small Wars Journal company information, Employees & Contact Information

The new Small Wars Journal, under the leadership of ASU’s Future Security Initiative, publishes serious, authentic voices from across the spectrum of small wars stakeholders. We define small wars as conflict and competition below the threshold of major interstate conventional wars. Irregular warfare, competitive statecraft, “grey-zone”, and liminal strategies and approaches are all part of this exploration. Our goal is to add richness, breadth, and depth to the active dialog that occurs in many cloistered or siloed venues be they academic, government, or private sector. In this, we seek input from everyone ranging from the soldier and interagency practitioners of small wars to their leadership, to those that make and inform policy at the national and international level. These are international issues, so we encourage international participation. We are non-partisan and do not support any political ideology. The views of published authors are their own. Likes, comments, & reposts ≠ official endorsements. We believe that responsive publishing and open dialog around well-formed ideas grounded in experience and/or deep study (ideally both) serves our community better than the protracted processes found in other venues to incrementally advance the rigor of a piece before its eventual exposure to light. We want to publish viewpoints on today's issues today, rather than in months or years.
