The JRS is a peer-reviewed journal specializing in the field of regional security studies.

The JRS is intended for international security scholars and policy makers from South East Europe but also from other established or emerging regions of the world. It aims to bring academic security studies communities from the Western Balkans not only closer to each other but also closer to security studies and security policy communities from other regions of the world thus enabling smarter and more sustainable regional policy solutions.

The JRS was established as Western Balkans Security Observer in 2006, published by Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (formerly known as Centre for Civil-Military Relations). The Western Balkans Security Observer has changed its name to Journal of Regional Security (JRS) starting with 2012.
