Editorial Note

The Journal of Peace and Security Studies (JPSS) is a peer-reviewed open-access electronic journal, published by the Institute of Peace and Strategic Studies, Gulu University, with support from the Building Stronger Universities IV Programme, Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Journal publishes articles within social sciences and humanities: anthropology, education, political science, economics, history, literature, psychology, religion, public health, law, and studies of development, environment, conflict, and displacement. Articles that cut across disciplinary boundaries are particularly welcome. Uganda is a key research focus for the Journal, but contributions from the whole East African region and beyond are encouraged as well. The Journal actively seeks to publish studies that can help to develop a comparative perspective on human security in the broadest sense.

JPSS is published periodically. Issues devoted to specific topics and edited by invited guests alternate with miscellaneous issues.

Handover of Editorship

The founding editor of JPSS, Lioba Lenhart, and her colleague, Susan Reynolds Whyte, are rotating out of the editorship. We thank the contributors to JPSS who have made it possible to publish four regionally relevant and engaging issues.

The third editor, Julaina Obika, will continue with a new team from Gulu University and the University of Copenhagen. We wish them every success.
