Publications

LSE WPS has two core outlets for regular publication of written work: the LSE Women, Peace and Security Working Paper Series and blog. Both publish regularly and are freely available.

The Working Paper Series is an outlet for reseach findings, academic arguments, position papers and policy briefs; the blog provides analysis and opinion in the broad field of women's human rights, gender, peace and security.

The Working Paper Series and blog are complemented by specific policy reports, event proceedings and other occasional papers. 

Policy Brief Series

The Centre for Women, Peace and Security Policy Brief Series presents policy analysis and recommendations arising from academic research and practice in the global field of women, peace and security. Learn more

Women, Peace and Security blog

The LSE WPS blog aims to make a gender analysis of peace and security available in an accessible way for a wide readership. We welcome well-argued, evidence-based submissions that can improve public debate and that explore contemporary issues relating to women, peace and security and women’s human rights in conflict-affected contexts: blogs.lse.ac.uk/wps
