Author Guidelines

The editorial board encourages researchers to submit articles that have not been previously published that propose an original and innovative thesis on national security with a broad disciplinary approach rooted in international relations, political science, history, economics, law, communications, geography and environmental studies, Israeli studies, Middle East and Islamic studies, sociology and anthropology, conflict resolution, or additional disciplines.

In the spirit of the times, Strategic Assessment is shifting its center of gravity to an online presence and availability. While INSS will continue to print issues on a quarterly basis, articles approved for publication, following the review and editing process, will be published in an online version on the journal’s website in the format of “initially published online,” and subsequently included in the particular quarterly issues.
