The Davies Papers

In 2010, the David Davies Memorial Institute (DDMI) launched The Davies Papers, a working papers series named in honour of Lord David Davies.

The series comprises of different themes, each with its own editor. Various themes are under consideration, and preparations are being made for themes on nuclear weapons and nuclear proliferation. Research published as a Davies Paper can be an author’s last word on a topic, a draft of a paper, the text or substantive notes for a presentation, or work in progress.  

 

Submissions

The primary aim of The Davies Papers is to disseminate research by DDMI members, staff and senior graduate students of the Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University. We are also open to submissions from the wider scholarly community and the general public. Contributions to The Davies Papers should be approximately 4,000-9,000 words. If you are interested in submitting to The Davies Papers, please e-mail ddmstaff@aber.ac.uk.
