Global Social Challenges Journal

How can we re-imagine society in an era of pressing global societal challenges? The new Global Social Challenges Journal, fully open access and not for profit, aims to facilitate thinking about these positive new trajectories and become the journal of choice to address the complexities of global social challenges across disciplines.

David Simon, Co-Editor

"Having worked across and between disciplines most of my career and more recently also in strongly transdisciplinary contexts, finding an appropriate home for these outputs has often been challenging. Many journals claim to welcome such intersections and cross-overs but rarely achieve this in practice. The opportunity to help launch and develop Global Social Challenges Journal as an explicitly inter-and transdisciplinary outlet therefore instantly attracted me, the more because of its open access and non-profit business model."

Introducing Global Political Economy

Global Political Economy is the much-anticipated journal for the discipline of the global political economy. The journal offers a critical platform for research that interrogates prevailing institutions, norms and patterns of authority and explanatory categories; authors will engage with and drive debates around emancipatory discourses and praxis.

The journal will encourage debates and discussions across disciplines, spanning economics, political science, geography, business studies, international relations, sociology and more.

Submissions are now open! Read the call for papers to learn more. Don't forget to follow @GPEjournal on Twitter and sign up to the Global Political Economy mailing list for the latest news from the journal.
