This compilation here marks the beginning of the Peacebright Initiative to provide public education material to spark the critical thinking mind towards a pragmatic search for peace in our society, in our nation, and in our collective planetary home we call The Earth.

Publish with Peacebright
We call upon Policy analysts, Security Professionals, and Scholars to contribute your insights on outstanding issues and policies to this Insights collection. Brief analysis, Op-eds, Foresight Papers, and White Papers will be excellent resource material for raising public engagement and awareness in matters of peace and security education. Length: 800-1,500 words max.
Longer papers of up to 5000 words will be reserved for The Peacebright Journal, an annual digital publication in late November/early December. This journal will only carry original articles that were not published anywhere else previously. But the Insights Collection will accept previously published op-eds, policy briefs, and shorter research articles. While the Insights Collection is a compilation of some of the most thought provoking material on peace and security, The Peacebright Journal is for longer analytical papers.

Please submit your research articles in English, to: public.peacebright.eboard@gmail.com
