Current Issues in Tourism is a new type of tourism journal which encourages in-depth discussion and critique of key questions within the subject. It offers a readable format for extended peer-reviewed papers, commentaries, letters and reviews, all designed to spark off further reader response and debate. It contains both applied and theoretical work that addresses tourism inquiry, method and practice. Lively and rigorous, it welcomes contributions from the broad gamut of subjects which make up the stuff of tourism studies. Current Issues in Tourism is designed to be accessible to both new and experienced researchers and practitioners on a global basis. The principal aims of the journal are to: encourage the full disciplinary and interdisciplinary range of approaches which are available to the study of tourism; bring together researchers from different subject backgrounds for interdisciplinary debate; develop the theoretical base on which the study of tourism is built; provide a basis for the development of critical approaches to the study of tourism; disseminate new approaches, concepts, frameworks and models which may be developed in the study of tourism; promote new research; assist in the creation of new networks of researchers; encourage young researchers. One of the unique features of the journal is a 6-week response period following publication to allow both postal and e-mail comment on papers (CIT Interactive). Each issue contains at least two extended peer-reviewed papers of between 15,000 and 25,000 words in length. There are also Reports, Rejoinders and Commentary (on both current and past papers) of up to 3000 words, plus book review articles of up to 3000 words. Occasional special symposia issues will also be produced focusing on a special topic. Refereeing procedures Every article within the remit of the journal is peer reviewed by a minimum of two experts.

Defense & Security Analysis is an independent, interdisciplinary and international journal which is mainly concerned with the field of defense theory and analysis. Whilst endeavouring to be scholarly in both content and style, it is designed to be a forum for exchange of data, ideas and methodological approaches among the professional military, their supporting bureaucracies and academic and independent researchers involved in the analysis of defense policy. A wide range of methodological approaches to defense matters will be encompassed - quantitative, qualitative and speculative. The Editors welcome contributions to Defense & Security Analysis that fall within the following subject categories: * Comparative defense policies * Defense intelligence * Defense management and command * Defense procurement and sales * Defense technology, research and development * Economics of defense * Formulation, simulation and prediction of defense issues * Historical patterns and trends concerning defense * Hypotheses, theories and critiques of defense, security and war * Internal defense and low-intensity operations * Medical and psychological dimensions of defense * Methodological approaches to defense issues * Operations research and analysis * Social and legal aspects of war, defense and armed forces * Terrorism, counter-terrorism and internal security In addition to scholarly, refereed articles, Defense & Security Analysis will include commissioned works and contributions published at the discretion of the Editors. Suggestions or proposals of possible articles and reviews are therefore welcomed. Unless the author specifies to the contrary, submitted articles will normally be evaluated, anonymously, by an independent reviewer. Also, in the tradition of scientific and professional journals, Defense & Security Analysis will have a section on Professional Notes containing ideas, hypothesis, lines of argument and enquiry, and comment. These should be between 500 and 1,000 words, will be included solely at the discretion of the Editors, and can be accepted up to 3 months before the date of publication.

Edited by: Professor Jeffrey Haynes and Professor Gordon CrawfordDemocratization aims to promote a better understanding of democratization 8211; defined as the way democratic norms, institutions and practices evolve and are disseminated both within and across national and cultural boundaries. While the focus is on democratization viewed as a process, the journal also builds on the enduring interest in democracy itself and its analysis. The emphasis is contemporary and the approach comparative, with the publication of scholarly contributions about those areas where democratization is currently attracting considerable attention world-wide. There is special reference to democratization in the developing world and in post-communist societies, but not to the exclusion of other relevant areas such as North America, Australasia, and the European Union and its member states.The journal aims to encourage debate on the many aspects of democratization that are of interest to policy-makers, administrators and journalists, aid and development personnel, as well as to all those involved in education.Peer ReviewAll research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by anonymous referees.
