“In difficult and challenging times, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic and its many socio-political and economic consequences, the journal Global Discourse fulfils salient functions: to continuously reflect and explain social transformation and change from inter- and post-disciplinary perspectives, in systematic detail. Such critical reflection allows scholars and lay-persons alike to distance themselves from their daily emotional involvement, thus providing space for new future mid-term and long-term imaginaries.”
