APeCS - Publications

PACSA founder Ronald Stade initiated in 2015 a spin-off of the network in the form of the journal Conflict and Society: Advances in Research, which is one of the Berghahn Open Anthro initiative journals. The Editor in Chief, Erella Grassiani, is a former (long-time) PACSA convenor; Alexander Horstmann, current APeCS co-convenor, was a member of the editorial board from 2015 to 2022, and Ana Ivasiuc joined the editorial board in 2022. The journal welcomes submissions of ethnographically grounded original articles, book reviews, and special issue proposals. The current call for submissions (deadline: 1 June 2023) can be accessed here.
