Global Discourse: A Developmental Journal of Research in Politics and International Relations
global-discourse.com
About the Title
Global Discourse is an international collaboration between postgraduate students and young academics seeking to develop a well-read, high-quality journal publishing work on all areas of politics and international relations.
With an international network of editors, referees, and contributors in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the US, West Indies and Continental Europe, Global Discourse is a conglomeration of individuals, schools and postgraduate journals seeking to develop a forum for the expression and development of distinctive research projects - particularly those which transcend disciplinary boundaries. The journal accepts high quality submissions from any theoretical and methodological perspective and encourages debate between paradigms and schemas.
Aims
Global Discourse aims to draw individuals, schools, organisations, and existing politics and international relations postgraduate journals, into an overarching collaborative forum which re-engages discourse between author and reader. As a fully peer-reviewed, online journal, Global Discourse seeks to provide a critical, developmental forum for postgraduates and young academics.
The journal aims to review its own content by publishing 1-2,000 word formal reviews and replies to each published article as well as encouraging less formal dialogue through moderated discussion boards.
By enabling authors to retain copyright and to withdraw contributions following a full four month period of issue, the journal aims to encourage the development of papers for submission to more established publications. Nothing is lost, but much can be gained, by submitting work for publication in Global Discourse.
The journal also aims to develop a more dynamic book review section, with intensive discussion of a single text by several reviewers published alongside replies from the author/s.
Call for Papers
Global Discourse accepts high quality submissions from any theoretical and methodological perspective and encourages debate between paradigms and schemas. As such, we encourage contributions from such disciplines as anthropology, cultural studies, economics, education, geography, history, law, media studies, philosophy, psychology, social policy and sociology.
Global Discourse accepts a wide range of contributions, from short research notes of 2-4,000 words to full-length articles of up to 9,000 words including all notes and references.
Please submit papers for review to Martyn Griffin (M.A.Griffin@newcastle.ac.uk) or Elliott Johnson (E.A.Johson@ncl.ac.uk).
