Security Dialogue is a fully peer-reviewed and highly ranked international bimonthly journal that seeks to combine contemporary theoretical analysis with challenges to public policy across a wide-ranging field of security studies. It seeks to revisit and recast the concept of security through new approaches and methodologies.

The journal encourages ground-breaking reflection on new and traditional security issues such as globalization, nationalism, ethnic conflict and civil war, information technology, biological and chemical warfare, resource conflicts, pandemics, global terrorism, non-state actors, and environmental and human security. It aims at providing an outlet for analysis of the normative dimensions of security, theoretical and practical aspects of identity and identity-based conflict, gender aspects of security and, critical security studies.
