Conflict, Security and Development provides an analytical and empirically informed treatment of the linkages between issues of security and development in contemporary international relations. It places emphasis on the need to examine issues of security and development in their mutual interaction rather than as separate areas of academic enquiry and policy-making. Conflict, Security and Development bridges traditional development and security studies through its focus on cross-cutting policy agendas, and also establishes connections with related disciplines, including anthropology, political economy and regional studies. The journal fills this analytical gap with fresh, objective and intellectually provocative research and also offers a forum for the cross-fertilisation of ideas and for reasoned and rigorous debate between the academic and policy communities in the North and South.

Eurasian countries are among the most rapidly and drastically changing places since the collapse of the former Soviet Union. From the year of 1991 on, the demise of the colossus has brought seemingly unlimited and far-flung turmoil among all social spheres on the Eurasian continent. The Journal of Eurasian Studies focuses on Eurasian studies in general, and on the following six hot issues in particular:• National Identity• Political and Economic Transition• Democratization and Marketization• Migration• Energy Problems• and, International Development and ODA (official development assistance).In doing this, the Journal of Eurasian Studies internationalizes local concerns within Eurasian communities and beyond the various Asian civilizations in more cross-regional perspectives. In its true meaning of international relationships, the Journal of Eurasian Studies thus accomplishes its primary goal presenting a nexus as transnational aspects of the Eurasian issues.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

The events of 9/11 and beyond have compelled stakeholders to look at transport security as much more than merely another element of the global networks that move people and goods. An activity that was previously viewed as a routine component of modern transportation is now seen as both a vital necesity and a national priority. Across a wide spectrum, transportation security is playing a leading role in determining how both the present and future will look. Remarkably, no single clearinghouse of research and analysis on this important topic has arisen. Transportation security lies at the core of many important areas of study, including supply chain and logistics: information technology: public policy: international business: political science: engineering: transportation: economics: and counterterrorism, among others. This journal will be the first to take a global, apolitical, and in-depth multidisciplinary look at the field. The mission of the journal will be to disseminate new research, thought, and analysis for teachers, researchers, policy makers and practitioners around the world who view transportation security as a critical element in the post 9/11 world.Officially cited as: J Transp Secur
