The journal “Contemporary Macedonian Defence” was founded in 2000 and is the first academic, peer-reviewed scientific journal of the Ministry of Defence, which is published continuously and is open to original research and practices in the field of social science, security science, defence science, military sciences and peace and development studies.
“Contemporary Macedonian Defence” publishes papers from the theory and practice of security studies, defence studies and peace and development studies, which make an original contribution to all areas of knowledge covered by research, through the paradigm for regional and global problems in a broader perspective, and the subject of research is the global social system, where the research focus is on the challenges and development of the contemporary world. The prism of security, defence and peace analyzes cannot be only national, but necessarily supranational. Thus, the journal includes analyzes and reviews of issues that affect not only our own country and the region, but also more broadly – the global crisis areas.
