Established in 1983, War & Society publishes high-quality scholarly articles on the causes, experience and impact of war. Our articles feature original research based on archival, oral, and other primary sources.
While we publish articles dealing with the technical and operational aspects of warfare, our main emphasis is on the broader relationships between warfare and society. Our articles range in time from Ancient Greece to the 21st Century, and highlight the diverse aspects of national and transnational operational and social military history. We also welcome articles which reflect recent historical ‘turns’ such as memory studies, cultural history, and the history of emotions. War & Society does not review books.
War & Society is an international, peer reviewed journal which is published by Taylor & Francis on behalf of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, UNSW Canberra.
The current editor is Associate Professor Eleanor Hancock.
From humble beginnings to international standing, the ‘War & Society’ Journal celebrates 40th anniversary.
In 1982, Emeritus Professor Peter Dennis was tasked with establishing a military history journal – something he had no idea where to even start with. He would not be able to predict how far the War & Society Journal would come; internationally renowned and celebrating its 40th anniversary since its first publication.
