Publications

The conjunction of systemic fund­amental research and know­ledge transfer is reflected in our pub­lication strategy: peer-reviewed articles in inter­national journals, edited volumes, mono­graphs, as well as the PRIF Studies and Working Papers series target a scientific audience.

With the series PRIF Report, PRIF Spotlight, PRIF Blog and the Peace Report, published since 1987, our practice-oriented ana­lyses of political issues, back­grounds and develop­ments reach policy makers, society and the media.

PRIF Reports and PRIF Spotlights are subject to a systematic internal quality assess­ment by our re­search council. They are available online, free of charge. We support public access to our scientific publi­cations online through Open Access.
