International Peacekeeping is a peer-reviewed journal. The editors welcome articles on the theory and practice of peacekeeping, and the related policies at an international level. The journal seeks to encourage innovative research and debate in the areas of international relations, security studies, history, international law, anthropology, and conflict resolution. 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.

Manuscripts of articles should normally be up to 7,500 words in length (including endnotes). A manuscript that exceeds this significantly will be returned to the author without review. Please do NOT use, or switch on, a ‘track changes' facility for the copy submitted. 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 International Peacekeeping rests with the publisher.

Each manuscript should be sent electronically to M.Pugh@bradford.ac.uk, or sent printed in duplicate together with a disk to the editor.

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. But NB, the following are the correct spellings: ‘analyse' and ‘exercise', ‘advise', ‘compromise', ‘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 as 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--1909, 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.
