Inter Populum: Journal of Irregular Warfare and Special Operations
Inter Populum: Journal of Irregular Warfare and Special Operations is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing scholarship at the intersection of irregular warfare and special operations. A product of Arizona State University’s Media Enterprise, the journal serves as a platform for scholars, practitioners, and thought leaders to examine the human domain of warfare. Topics range from historical lessons and current best practices to the evolving nature of future conflict. Our mission is to foster meaningful discussion, debate, and collaboration on critical issues shaping 21st-century strategic competition. The name Inter Populum—Latin for "among the people"—highlights our focus on the human element of irregular warfare and special operations, where influence, legitimacy, and control over populations are central to modern conflict.
