The answer is overwhelming yes. More sticky questions that has underpinned emerging commentary within academic circles is why do these gaps exist, how do they impact on our knowledge around war, conflict, security, and international relations, and how might including more diverse authors and indeed more diverse perspectives impact what we know about global politics most broadly?
