CHILDREN AND WAR:
Images of children in war are heartbreaking. We see children suffering
as
direct victims of the violence, as orphans of war and as displaced
refugees. Contemporary war fighting, however, not only targets children
through the strategy of total war, destroying communities and homelands
in
an effort to demoralize the enemy. It also recruits children as active
combatants. Today over fifty countries recruit child soldiers into
militaries, paramilitary organizations, and armed opposition groups.
These
children serve as mainstays of militarization as they fight alongside
adults. Children's diverse roles in the war process are determined by
their social status. Girls are raped, forced into prostitution and sold
into sexual slavery. Boys are often forced to fight for military
organizations. And those with greater economic resources are most
likely
to escape the front lines.
This issue of Peace Review will analyze the many effects war has on
children, the ways in which children participate in and resist war, and
movements to safeguard children from war. We seek a range of essays
that
address the theoretical issues, empirical realities, and practical
policies
surrounding this important issue.
BIOPIRACY & BIOTECHNOLOGY
Will the twenty-first century be the century of hitherto unimagined
transformations in which human beings control production, reproduction,
and
the development of life itself? Like never before, the aphorism
"knowledge
is power" means "power is knowledge." Biotechnology allows humans to
manipulate genes, thus permitting us to re-arrange the grammar of life
itself. Some claim that this "biotech century" may bring forth
unthinkable
horrors as we manipulate nature to suit the human will. Others claim
that
this new science may cure our diseases, feed our hungry, provide us with
therapeutic drugs and alternative energy sources. Will the technologies
of
cloning, gene mapping, gene splicing, gene therapy, genetic modification
of
organisms, bring us to a bright age of ecotopian justice or to a dark
eugenic dystopia?
In this special issue of Peace Review we invite essays on different
aspects
of Biopiracy and Biotechnology, including:
1) Intellectual Property Rights - the commodification of nature,
indigenous
rights to DNA/plants/pharmaceuticals, the patenting of life forms by
multinationals, third world/first world perspectives, discovering versus
inventing.
2) The Environment and Biotechnology - the patenting of seeds,
genetically
modified organisms, genetically modified food (the recent Frankenfood
controversy), agribusiness and biotechnology, the recombinant growth
hormone and the third world.
3) Political and Economic Dimensions - third world biotechnology and the
foreign debt, national, regional, international regimes and biotech
regulation, monopolization of biotechnological knowledge.
4) Military uses of biotechnology.
5) Social consequences of biotechnology. race relations, gene altering,
genetic therapy and screening, abortion and genetic screening.
6) Case Studies and Practical proposals to turn biotech knowledge over
to
public institutions and non-profit organizations are welcome.
PEACE REVIEW is a quarterly, multidisciplinary, transnational journal of
research and analysis, focusing on the current issues and controversies
that underlie the promotion of a more peaceful world. We define peace
research to include human rights, development, ecology, culture, race,
gender and related issues. Our task is to present the results of this
research and thinking in short (no more than 3500 words), accessible and
substantive essays.
Please send for Peace Review’s Writer’s Guidelines by emailing

WRITER'S GUIDELINES
Peace Review publishes Essays, not Articles. They are intended for a
wide
readership both inside and outside of academia and the peace movement.
We
are looking for both research and perspectives on the cultural and
political
issues surrounding the conflicts occurring between nations and peoples.
We
are a transnational journal (distributing to more than 40 nations), and
thus want to avoid speaking in the voice of any particular national
culture
or politics.
We seek short (maximum 3500 words), readable, jargon-free essays.
Include a 1-2 sentence professional biography of yourself, a
correspondence
address and your email address, if available. Manuscripts and disks
cannot
be returned.
When writing your Essays, please observe the following:
(1) We need a short title--we do not run titles divided by a colon.
(2) We do not run figures or tables but can run drawings or photos.
(3) We do not run subheadings but we do make periodic breaks in the text
using drop-caps (in the style of literary journals). To indicate where
you
would like breaks, skip an extra line in the text.
(4) We do not run footnotes or endnotes but we do print "Recommended
Readings" at the end of each essay, if the author so desires. It should
be
a short list
and appear in the following format:
Books Parkin, Sara. 1994. The Life and Death of Petra Kelly. London:
Pandora.
Articles Fagan, Richard R. 1983. "Theories of Development." Monthly
Review
(September): 1324.
Chapters Tunnell, Kenneth D. 1992. "Worker Insurgency and Social
Control."
in Jeffrey Ian Ross (ed.), Violence in Canada. Toronto: Oxford
University Press.
In deciding which essays we publish in Peace Review, we're looking not
only
for fresh ideas and research but also for lively, active and
well-crafted
writing. Submissions that offer both have the greatest chance of
acceptance.
All original essays that we publish become the copyright of Peace
Review,
unless otherwise specifically agreed.
Fifty offprints of each essay accepted for publication, together with a
complete copy of the relevant journal issue, will be sent to the senior
author.
We welcome correspondence, and will publish short letters. We also want
to
recommend good new books, and distributors of good, progressive videos,
and
will publish favorable reviews--not more than 1200 words for a single
book,
no more than 3,500 for multiple books.
We also publish "Peace Profiles" comprised of short biographies of
distinguished peace activists, broadly defined, from around the world.
SUBSCRIPTIONS: Peace Review subscriptions are US$60 or EUŁ39 for
individuals and US$274 or EUŁ172 for libraries/ institutions. A special
discount is available for individuals belonging to international peace
associations and peace research organizations. For more information on
