IMEMO's academic journal "Pathways to Peace and Security" covers various aspects of armed conflicts and other forms of collective violence, the problems of conflict prevention, conflict management and post-conflict peace-building, and other human security issues at different levels of world politics.
“Pathways to Peace and Security” is the oldest and, so far, the only academic journal in Russia specifically devoted to matters of conflict, peace, and human security.
The journal’s main goals are:
- To promote Peace and Conflict Studies as a Political Sciences/International Relations sub-discipline in Russia and to build and expand national civilian expertise in this field that meets international academic standards;

- To develop and popularize the human security approach to the study of armed violence, violence control, and other security issues;
