International Journal for Peace and Public Leadership
A peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing scholarship on peace studies, conflict resolution, civil society engagement, and public leadership in a rapidly changing world.
Volume 2, Issue 1 — June 2026
This second issue of the International Journal for Peace and Public Leadership reflects the Journal’s commitment to the study of civil society’s contribution to the promotion of peace and good governance alongside state and interstate actors. That contribution is becoming increasingly irreplaceable during the current crisis plaguing international organizations, including the United Nations, with the loss of trust in multilateral institutions, resurgent nationalism, and the intractable nature of conflicts such as in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, and most recently Iran.
