Security Dialogue was founded by Marek Thee i 1970 under the name Bulletin of Peace Proposals. The aim was to systematically present, compare and discuss ideas, plans and proposals for development, justice and peace[1]. The name of the journal was changed to Security Dialogue in September 1992, a reflection of its increasing academic ambition under the editorship of Magne Barth (1992-1996) and Pavel Baev (1995-2001). Security Dialogue took a new academic turn under J. Peter Burgess, focusing on theoretical analysis, revisiting and recasting the concept of security through new approaches and methodologies.
