About

Global Perspectives (GP) addresses the most pressing problems of our contemporary experience. GP sets out to foster rigorous scholarship on the complexities of global issues and the challenges of our time. It does so in dialogue with scholars across the world. Our research articles are double-blind peer-reviewed.

Acknowledging that most global issues are complex and multi-layered, GP is devoted to the study of contemporary challenges and developments across a wide range of topics and fields, including but not limited to politics and social theory, security and sustainability, communication and media, justice and law, governance and regulation, culture and value systems, history and identity, environmental and technological interfaces, political economies and shifting geographies, migration, and economic thought.

New transdisciplinary ways of knowing, new concepts, approaches and forms of academic discourse are called for. Accordingly, GP is organized by subject themes, which are informed by major conceptual or empirical issues or grounded in traditional disciplines, while always inviting significant interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches.

Themes in Global Perspectives include:

• Communication and media
• Values and identities
• Cultural policies
• Epistemologies
• Political economy
• Politics and Society
• Global governance
• Environment and the planetary
• Technologies
• Securities
• Ideologies
