Security Dialogue is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes scholarly articles which combine contemporary theoretical analysis with challenges to public policy across a wide-ranging field of security studies. The journal is owned by the Peace Research Institute Oslo which also hosts the editorial office. As of 1 October 2015 Mark B. Salter (University of Ottawa) is the editor-in-chief following J. Peter Burgess who edited the journal from 2001. Claudia Aradau (King's College London) functioned as editor-in-chief from 2013-2015 while Burgess was on leave. Marit Moe-Pryce has been the Managing Editor of the journal since 2004.

Security Dialogue went through a significant change in scope under the editorship of J. Peter Burgess, and this has seen the journal climbing on international rankings to become one of the leading journals in Critical Security Studies.
