STRATI Journal of Peace, Conflict, and Human Security

The STRATI Journal of Peace, Conflict, and Human Security aims to foster interdisciplinary scholarship and practical dialogue on the changing landscapes of conflict and security. Its core focus is to explore how peace can be built and sustained through justice, inclusion, reconciliation, and human dignity—beyond traditional notions of state security.

The journal engages with a broad spectrum of topics including armed conflict, political violence, humanitarian crises, governance failures, climate insecurity, and displacement, while also exploring the peace potential of dialogue, diplomacy, disarmament, and development. It seeks to amplify voices and knowledge systems that are often marginalized in mainstream peace and security discourse, especially those from indigenous, feminist, decolonial, and Global South perspectives.

By bridging theory, empirical analysis, and policy relevance, the journal supports the development of innovative, ethical, and sustainable approaches to peacebuilding and human security.
