Aims & Scope
The GEJ seeks to publish original and innovative research, as well as novel analysis, relating to the global economy. While its main emphasis is economic, the GEJ is a multi-disciplinary journal. The GEJ's contents mirror the diverse interests and approaches of scholars involved with the international dimensions of business, economics, finance, history, law, marketing, management, political science, and related areas. The GEJ also welcomes scholarly contributions from officials with government agencies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
One over-arching theme that unites IT&FA members and gives focus to this journal is the complex globalization process, involving flows of goods and services, money, people, and information. As a result, the Global Economy Journal invites submissions that address important aspects of globalization. Such articles might focus on the flows mentioned above, key innovations and ideas that shape the globalization process, or on institutions, laws, and agreements (such as the WTO, the IMF, and the World Bank) that structure the global economy. Academic studies that weigh the impact of globalization on people, communities, nations, regions, industries, and business will also receive consideration.
The GEJ also invites submissions on global economy issues that reach across traditional academic boundaries, and are interdisciplinary, or multi-disciplinary, in character. While the journal will consider narrower studies, authors of submissions should strive to present their conclusions to a broader audience without sacrificing rigor or scientific validity.
The GEJ also publishes a special section: What's New in Our World? Field Reports, Commentary, Provocation. It is designed to present informed views on timely topics for a general audience. Contributions to the section will focus on a timely issue, innovation, or development in the global economy. They should be written for an audience of non-specialists, and be relatively brief, that is, between 10 and 15 pages. The editor also invites informed views on global issues, either those currently making the headlines, or those that in the view of the writer merit greater attention. Reports from the field about major developments or changes in the global economy are also welcome.
Within this global context, appropriate topics of particular relevance to the Global Economy Journal include, but are not limited to:
