Trending and Emerging
- Youth and Education in Conflict Resolution:
A growing focus on the role of youth and educational settings in conflict resolution highlights the importance of early intervention and the development of conflict management skills among young people. - Restorative Justice Practices:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Legal Approaches to Conflict:
There has been a noticeable reduction in papers focusing solely on traditional legal frameworks for conflict resolution, possibly due to a growing preference for more holistic and community-based approaches. - Theoretical Overviews without Empirical Data:
Papers that provide theoretical analyses without empirical backing seem to be less frequent, indicating a trend towards research that is grounded in practical applications and case studies. - Focus on Individual Conflict Resolution:
Research centered on individual-level conflict resolution strategies appears to be waning, as the journal shifts towards exploring systemic and collective approaches to conflict management. - Historical Conflict Analysis:
While historical perspectives are valuable, there seems to be a decreasing emphasis on historical analyses of conflicts, with more recent publications favoring contemporary issues and solutions. - Narrow Geographical Focus:
