| Summary/Abstract |
While there have been important studies that have mapped the fields of peace studies (PS) and conflict resolution (CR), the focus usually has been on tracing their historical evolution and typical areas of application. In contrast, this article aims to examine PS and CR's philosophical assumptions and commitments, topics more rarely investigated. Rather than assuming that CR and PS are analyzing, diagnosing, and addressing conflict in the same way, this study will trace their respective philosophical genealogies (including, where possible, variations within each) and the concrete implications of these stances in terms of intellectual wagers about power, truth, structure, and conflict. These findings will tell us more about what is happening in these two fields and guide future study.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper provides a political economy analysis of the evolution of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or 'drones' in the USA. Focus is placed on the interplay between the polity and private economic influences, and their impact on the trajectory of political, economic, and military outcomes. We identify the initial formation of the drone industry, trace how the initial relationships between the military and the private sector expanded over time, and discuss present relationships. Understanding the historical evolution of UAV technology, as well as the major players in the industry today, is important for ongoing policy debates regarding the use of drones both domestically and internationally.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the age of globalization, the UN Department of Public Information (DPI) is expected to play an active role in communicating with citizens the world over. This study explores the DPI’s evolution over the last 75 years, tackling the nature of organizational change in what is too often dismissed as a hidebound and conservative institution. The authors use textual analysis of UN documents combined with Grunig and Hunt’s four public relations (PR) models to track the DPI’s transformation from an organization that favoured the one-way dissemination of objective information to an institution ready to embrace two-way symmetric public relations. Though useful, these models were unable to explain the driving forces behind the DPI’s transition from one model to another or detailed changes within models at a micro level. To remedy this, the authors incorporate Harry Nyström’s basic model of organizational innovation illuminating incremental changes within the DPI between 1946 and 1989, as well as the transformative changes that were driven by the end of the Cold War, new communications technologies, and Kofi Annan’s leadership in the 1990s and 2000s.
