Die Friedens-Warte is longest-standing in German-speaking regions in matters of international peace and organization. As a key forum for all topics centered on scientific peace research it retains an explicitly interdisciplinary character and covers dynamics and impacts of intrastate conflicts, processes of economic deprivation, climate catastrophes, international terrorism and human security. While mainly focused on law and political science, the contributions also offer economic, social-psychological and sociological analyses.

As an academic publisher with over 50 years of tradition, the Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag (BWV) maintains an interdisciplinary program from the fields of law, politics, economy, history, as well as public administration. Regional focus is placed on Eastern Europe and East European Studies, North European Studies, and on the history of Berlin, Brandenburg, and Prussia. BWV releases around 150 titles per year, including nearly 15 journals and yearbooks. Together with national and international editors and research institutions, we publish around 65 book series. These works reflect the close connections between the Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag and leading institutions of the research and science capitals Berlin and Potsdam. BWV belongs to the Mediengruppe Deutscher Apotheker Verlag, with locations in Stuttgart, Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, und Breslau. The publishing group counts among the leading top 20 specialist publishers in the German speaking market.
