Democracy and Security (ISSN 1741-9166) is a peer reviewed, scholarly journal. The journal is published quarterly and was founded in 2005. [1]

The journal publishes conceptual, theoretical, and empirical articles on concepts and functions that are believed to shape the relations between various international and national security policies, concerns, and needs on the one hand, and central values, institutions, and processes of democratic societies on the other.
