Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding is a peer-reviewed journal that seeks to encourage innovative research and debate. The editors welcome articles on the broader aspects of the theme, for example, on the development and changing nature of international state-building mechanisms or the impact of the blurring of the sovereign division between the domestic and the international, and also more narrowly focused pieces which can cover the range of state-building practices, for example: international administrative powers; country ownership of poverty reduction strategies; the export of the EU acquis communautaire; civil society building; democracy promotion; anti-corruption policies; election monitoring; educational reform; psycho-social counselling; rule of law support; judicial and police reform; civil service and administrative reform; post-conflict peace-building; financial and economic reforms.

Articles should have a 'Harvard-style' referencing system, and 7- 8,000 words in length (excluding notes and references, although notes should be kept to a minimum).

The text of the article should be prefaced by an indented and italicised abstract of around 100 words, which should present the main arguments and conclusions of the article, and a list of 5-6 key words. Any acknowledgements should be in a separate paragraph between the end of the article text and the beginning of the endnotes.

On a separate cover sheet, the following should be included: details of the author's institutional affiliation, full address and contact information; the exact length of the article; brief (3-4 line) biographical description.

It is the author's responsibility to ensure that where copyright materials are included within an article the permission of the copyright holder has been obtained. Confirmation of this should be included on the cover sheet. Please note that copyright in articles published in Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding rests with the publisher.

Articles submitted should be original contributions and should not be under consideration for any other publication at the same time. If another version of the article is under consideration by another publication, or has been, or will be published elsewhere, authors should clearly indicate this at the time of submission.

Following acceptance for publication, authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts conform to the journal style.

General Style

1. British spellings should be followed. Where there is a choice between using ‘ise' or ‘ize' as the ending the latter is preferred. NB the correct form of ‘analyse' and ‘exercise', ‘advise', ‘comprise', ‘surprise', ‘demise', ‘enterprise'.
2. In quotations the punctuation, capitalization and spelling of the original should be followed. Use single quotation marks, with double quotation marks only for quotations within quotations. Quotations of 50 words or more should be indented as a separate block of text without quotation marks.
3. Numbers should be spelt out up to ten, except in the case of percentages, where numbers should always be used (and per cent should always be spelt out).
4. Dates should be given in full (12 July 1973), though months can be abbreviated in the notes. Similarly give ‘the twentieth century', NOT ‘the 20th century'. Years should be abbreviated: 1983-84, 1908-9, 1920-21, the 1930s (not ‘the thirties').
5. Capitalization: use capitals sparingly, for titles (the UN Secretary-General; President Mitterrand) and for unique or central institutions (the European Commission, the United Nations) but not for general or local organizations and offices (a government minister, the mayor). Capitalize ‘Party' in a title (the British Green Party), otherwise lower case. Use lower case for ‘state' and for the ‘left' and the ‘right', ‘cold war'. But not East vs West, Western; the Gulf War. Capitalize -isms from names (Marxism), elsewhere lower case (ecologism). In general, lower case for conferences and congresses.

Notes and References

Notes should be kept to a minimum, computer generated, and numbered consecutively through the article with a raised numeral corresponding to the list of notes placed at the end.

References should be in Harvard style as set out below:

Books for Review

Please note: review articles based on a number of books are encouraged.

Please send book reviews to:

Meera Sabaratnam, Reviews Editor, Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding. Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Westminster, 32-38 Wells Street, London W1T 3UW (M.Sabaratnam@lse.ac.uk).

Notes on style:

1. Book reviews should be 2,000 - 4,000 words, considering two to four publications. Each review should give the reader a sense of the aims of the books, whether they achieve them, and make a critical assessment, highlighting the interesting points. Single book reviews may still be published, particularly if the single book is sufficiently important or detailed that it merits its own review.
   
   
2. If you refer to other works, not under review, please use end notes (and keep these to a minimum) rather than references.
   
   
3. In the top line of the review please state for each book: title, author(s), place of publication, publisher, date, pages, page breakdown, price and ISBN. For example:
   
   The Iraq War: Hidden Agendas and Babylonian Intrigue by Raphael Israeli. Brighton: Sussex Academic Press, 2004. Pp.241 + notes + bibliography + index. £16.95 (pbk). ISBN 1-903900-90-5.
   
   
4. Please check with the reviews editor that the books are not under review by someone else. The reviews editor will order books from the publishers on your behalf.
