Aims & Scope 
Pacifica Review is a scholarly journal that addresses the 
difficult practical and theoretical questions posed by the 
sheer scale and complexity of contemporary change. More 
specifically, it analyses the sources and consequences of 
conflict, violence and insecurity, but also the conditions 
and prospects for conflict transformation, peace-keeping 
and peace-building.

While Pacifica Review focuses on the international 
dimension of political, economic and cultural life, its 
perspective cuts across traditional boundaries - not just 
those between states, economies and societies, but also 
those between disciplines and ideologies. Pacifica Review 
seeks to illuminate the sharp and often perplexing 
contradictions of an increasingly integrated yet fragmented 
world. Ethno-nationalism, the break-up of established 
states, and religious and civilizational divisions coexist 
with new forms of economic and financial integration. Gross 
violations of human rights, environmental degradation, 
large and uncontrolled population movements, and rapidly 
expanding transnational crime are taking place at a time of 
unparalleled UN activism, and the rise of a host of new 
legal and institutional arrangements, both regionally and 
globally.

Pacifica Review aims to explore these trends and counter-
trends. It wants to foster a more holistic interpretation 
of the dichotomy of competitive geopolitics and geoconomics 
on the one hand and emerging conceptions of common, 
comprehensive and human security on the other. Pacifica 
Review intends to bring to this task the insights of 
diverse cultural and intellectual traditions, not least the 
increasingly influential and contentious though diverse 
perspectives of the Asia-Pacific region.
