Dear Colleague, Berghahn is pleased to announce the launch of an exciting new journal, Conflict and Society - Advances in Research. Publishing peer-reviewed articles by international scholars, Conflict and Society expands the field of conflict studies by using ethnographic inquiry to establish new fields of research and interdisciplinary collaboration. With special attention paid to ongoing debates on the politics and ethics of conflict studies research, including military-academic cooperation, Conflict and Society will be an essential forum for scholars, researchers, and policy makers. The current issue features two topical sections, one on the experience and dilemmas of studying perpetrators of organized violence, another on how state and non-state sovereignties are enforced, in particular in Latin America. These sections are followed by book reviews.
