Published for over 50 years, Cooperation and Conflict is a peer reviewed journal committed to publishing high quality articles that examines a broad set of research questions. It believes in academic pluralism and thus does not represent any specific methodology, approach, tradition or school. The mission of the journal is to publish work that is theoretically informed, empirically rich, and methodologically rigorous, and which advances the state of the art of the discipline through theoretical, conceptual and methodological innovation. Cooperation and Conflict has a tradition to publish on Nordic and European Affairs. The journal strictly adheres to a double-blind review policy.

"Always strong, always distinctive, Cooperation and Conflict is now positioning itself to be 'the' journal of interdisciplinary international relations in Europe." Christine Sylvester, University of Connecticut, USA

"Cooperation and Conflict is one of the leading international relations journals in Europe. The diversity of intellectual approaches included in Cooperation and Conflict is an ideal way for political scientists, critical theorists and sociologists to engage each other, and discuss the most pressing developments in Europe" Christine Ingebritsen University of Washington, USA

"Cooperation and Conflict has most recently been one of the main platforms for a range of debates surrounding what has become know as 'critical peace and conflict studies', part of a broader 'local', 'practice' or 'micro' turn in IR more generally. Over many decades the journal has hosted many such cutting edge debates in the discipline whilst foregrounding its commitment to the exploration of peace, cooperation, and security. It has a long and proud history of innovation and creativity, and its volumes are studded with milestone contributions." Professor Oliver Richmond, University of Manchester, UK

"Cooperation and Conflict has a long and proud history of featuring cutting-edge work. Combining theoretical innovation with empirical sophistication adding a Nordic touch, it fills a unique place on the terrain of IR." Professor Lene Hansen, University, Denmark

"Cooperation and Conflict has become one of the prime outlets for innovative work that explores new avenues of research in international relations. It provides an indispensible forum for dialogue across theoretical and methodogical divides as well as diverse empirical interests." Professor Thomas Diez, Eberhard Karls, University of Tubingen, Germany
