Call for Papers
Journal of Economic and Social Research
The Journal of Economic and Social Research, a scholarly publication of Fatih University, Istanbul, is soliciting articles and essays for Issue 3(2)to be published by the University of Fatih in February 2003. Through cutting-edge academic research, policy analysis and commentary JESR offers fresh perspectives to current debates. As a peer-reviewed journal, JESR provides both established and emerging academics and practitioners in the fields of social and economic sciences and other relevant disciplines a unique opportunity to have their work read by an influential audience. You are encouraged to submit articles for the special issue on Transnational Movements and Global Identity.
The Journal aims especially in this special issue to bring together work on international / transnational movements ranging from the Green Peace Organisation to feminism to the Jamaat Tabligh Islam, the so- called "globalisation issue", and the construction of identity in these new circumstances undertaken by researchers in sociology, communication, anthropology, psychology, as well as history, social work, and other social and behavioural sciences.
We are particularly interested in papers that incorporate transnational
discussions of the themes below.
Examining globalisation from economic, political, cultural and
technological perspectives.
What are the short and long term effects of sustained globalisation?
What are the roles of the government, international and transnational
organisations and civil society?
What is the role of the subjects of these processes, including global (e.g.
World Bank, OECD, UNESCO) and regional organisations (e.g. EU, APEC, NAFTA),
and NGOs?
Do existing theories sufficiently address recent developments or do they
need to be adjusted/modified? If yes, why and how?
Does globalisation allow room for dialogue amongst cultures?
To what extent is the crisis economic, political, cultural, or a blend of
these factors?
What are the leading and limiting factors in formulating a solution? What
options are available to resolve the crisis? Are current initiatives likely
to sustain improvement over the long run?
What are the roles of third parties (governments, banking/finance groups,
international organisations) Essays: Continuing Dialog on the post-September
