EJIS Roundtable – 15:30-17:00, Wednesday 15th June
BISA Conference, Edinburgh
The European Journal of International Security (EJIS, www.ejis.eu) has launches at an exciting for international security studies. The discipline is vibrant, increasingly diverse and growing. However, it also faces challenges. These include questions over the scope and focus of the discipline itself; its relationship to international relations, and to cognate and wider disciplines; its geographical inclusiveness; and the under-representation of women in security studies debates. The EJIS aspires to play in key role in advancing these issues. It aims to connect different types of security studies, foster debates between them, and to provide a forum for new issues, methods and theoretical vocabularies, as well as for existing and well-established themes in the field. This roundtable brings together a range of security studies scholars to consider these challenges. Specifically, our contributors will reflect on the journal to date, the ways it might develop and grow in future, the likely future evolution of international security studies more widely and the opportunities and pitfalls for the EJIS within this.
Chair: Tim Edmunds, University of Bristol (Editor-in-Chief, EJIS).
