EDSeQ's Target Audience
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.
EDSeQ's Structure
EDSeQ provides a comprehensive mix of formats that give a 360-degree view of the EU defence and security legal framework. Research articles explore topics in depth, to the highest standard of academic excellence. News reports contain shorter, up-to-date information regarding defence and security developments in the EU and its Member States. Case notes in EDSeQ are the best way for readers to stay informed on relevant judgments of international courts and tribunals, European Courts, and higher national courts that shape the field of defence law and regulation. The balance between practical and theoretical papers, along with opinion pieces and event reports, completes the journal’s knowledge offering.
European Defence & Security Law & Policy Quarterly will be published quarterly, available in print and online.
