Conflict, should not to be confused with Conflict Quarterly/The Journal of Conflict Studies a Canadian based journal associated with terrorologists David Charters and Maurice Tugwell.

The Journal is devoted to 'all warfare short of war'. The quarterly journal 'focuses on informal wars, including guerilla warfare, insurgency, revolution, and terrorism. [2]

About

Studies in Conflict and Terrorism 'aims to cast new light on the origins and implications of conflict in the 21st Century and to illuminate new approaches and solutions to countering the growth and escalation of contemporary sub-state violence.' [3] The editors of the journal look to publish theoretical and empirical studies with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of the causes of terrorism and insurgency. The journal therefore addresses 'security challenges fuelled by religious and nationalist strife, moribund peace processes, disputes over natural resources, and transnational organized crime.' [3]
