Strife

Strife is a dual-format publication founded in 2012 by Ph.D. students and researchers from the War Studies Department of King's College London. Comprised of an academic Blog and a peer-reviewed Journal, it is run by postgraduate students and doctoral researchers from the School of Security Studies. From its debut in 2012, Strife has grown from 5,000 to over 1 million annual views, with over 2.4 million unique page views and an audience that spans all the inhabited continents. Our steady viewers include academics, practitioners, and students, along with research institutions, journalists, and citizens interested in knowing more about war and security. Strife's thematic focus is 'conflict', in all its shapes, forms, and senses. We combine political, historical, literary, and philosophical approaches to this phenomenon through blog and journal articles, as well as unique formats such as photo essays, book, film, and art reviews. We aim to provide thought-provoking, unique perspectives on all aspects of conflict, from the cultural to the practically applied.
