This year’s edition of the Defence Forces Review will examine the role that defence plays (or can play) in making Ireland a better place to live, and will be published in partnership between the Defence Forces and the Centre for Military History and Strategic Studies at Maynooth University. We invite proposals for articles that explore how military forces can contribute to wider society and to government policy goals in the context of a dynamic and complex operating environment. Proposals should be submitted to the following address, dfreview@military.ie , they should be no more that 300 words long, and must be accompanied by a short (up to 200 words) biographical note. For further details please see https://www.military.ie/en/public-information/publications/defence-forces-review/
