We, the Editors of Democracy and Security and the publishers Taylor & Francis Group are retracting the following article:
Bamidele, Oluwaseun (2014) Thomas Matyók, Jessica Senehi, and Sean Byrne Critical Issues in Peace and Conflict Studies: Theory, Practice, and Pedagogy. Democracy and Security, Vol. 10, No. 1, pp. 105-108. DOI:10.1080/17419166.2014.879802. Version of Record published online 21 February 2014.
We are now cognisant that the article is substantially similar to two previously published sources:
Thiessen, Charles (2011) “Emancipatory Peacebuilding: Critical Responses to (Neo)liberal Trends” in Thomas Matyók, Jessica Senehi and Sean Byrne (Eds.) Critical Issues in Peace and Conflict Studies. Plymouth: Rowan & Littlefield
Galtung, Johan (2009) Concluding Remarks: Wrapping Up, the Road Ahead. Transcend Media Service. Available at: https://www.transcend.org/tms/2009/06/concluding-remarks-wrapping-up-the-road-ahead/
We note that neither of these published works have been referenced in the retracted article.
This action constitutes a breach of warranties made by the author with respect to originality and provenance. We note we received, peer-reviewed, accepted, and published the article in good faith based on these warranties, and censure this action.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
