EDSeQ’s philosophy is to serve as an inclusive forum for dialogue and reflection for all academics, officials from European and national institutions, and private practitioners dealing with European defence and security law and policy. We apply this philosophy in the composition of the expert Editorial Board, which is reflected in the diversity of contributing authors and EDSeQ’s readership. The journal is a useful read for national and international legislators, public authorities and administrations, the private sector, and academia.
