About
Conflict examined the roles of nongovernmental, intergovernmental and governmental organisations as political communicators. The journal was said to 'produce original research on propaganda and psychological warfare and on peacekeeping, peacemaking, and peacebuilding assignments of poltiical communicators.' [2] The journal therefore addressed 'security challenges fuelled by religious and nationalist strife, moribund peace processes, disputes over natural resources, and transnational organized crime.'
