Peer Review

September 11 and its aftermath have dramatised one of the distinguishing trends of our time: the globalisation of insecurity. These extraordinary events have served to remind us of the sheer scale and complexity of contemporary change.Global Change, Peace & Security is a leading refereed journal that addresses the difficult practical and theoretical questions posed by a rapidly globalising world. By focusing on the international dimension of political, economic and cultural life, it cuts across the traditional boundaries that separate states, economies and societies, as well as disciplines and ideologies.Global Change, Peace & Security seeks to illuminate the sharp and often perplexing contradictions of an increasingly integrated yet fragmented world. Ethno-nationalism, the break-up of established states, and religious and civilizational divisions coexist with new forms of economic and financial integration. Gross violations of human rights, environmental degradation, large and uncontrolled population movements, and rapidly expanding transnational crime are taking place at a time of unparalleled UN activism, and the rise of a host of new legal and institutional arrangements, both regionally and globally.Global Change, Peace & Security aims to explore these trends and counter-trends. It endeavours to foster a more holistic interpretation of the dichotomy of competitive geopolitics and geoconomics on the one hand and emerging conceptions of common, comprehensive and human security on the other.It analyses the sources and consequences of conflict, violence and insecurity, but also the conditions and prospects for conflict transformation, peacekeeping and peace-building.Global Change, Peace & Security intends to bring to this task the insights of diverse cultural and intellectual traditions, not least the increasingly influential and diverse perspectives of the Asia-Pacific region. Its aim is to contribute to a scholarly and cosmopolitan dialogue on the nature, origins and remedies of the contemporary human predicament.Peer Review: Global Change, Peace & Security is internationally refereed. Submissions are refereed by specialists in the field for originality, structural integrity and factual accuracy. An editorial review, referee reports and the author's response to these reports form the basis of the decision whether to publish submitted articles. All decisions of the Editors are final.Views expressed in articles and communications do not reflect the opinion of the Editorial Committee or the Editors. Communications in Global Change, Peace & Security are reflective opinion pieces and the Editorial Committee welcomes diverse perspectives on contemporary issues.

Global Crime is a social science journal devoted to the study of crime broadly conceived. Its focus is deliberately broad and multi-disciplinary and its first aim is to make the best scholarship on crime available to specialists and non-specialists alike. It endorses no particular orthodoxy and draws on authors from a variety of disciplines, including history, sociology, criminology, economics, political science, anthropology and area studies.The editors welcome contributions on any topic relating to crime, including organized criminality, its history, activities, relations with the state, its penetration of the economy and its perception in popular culture. Global Crime also seeks submissions in areas such as corruption, crime and women's studies, illegal migration, terrorism, illicit markets, violence, police studies, and the process of state building. Submissions of articles in the area of methodology are especially welcome. In addition to research articles, the editors encourage submission of review papers, shorter pieces on methodological advances or research findings, and field reports from law enforcement officials.Global Crime is published four times per year, and includes research articles, and ‘dispatches’ highlighting research in progress and field reports from law-enforcement officials. In addition, the journal contains a substantial book review section. Normally, one issue a year is edited by guest editor(s).

Global Economic Review publishes scholarly economic research, both theoretical and empirical, on issues of vital concern to businesses, governments, and decision makers in Asia and the world. Particular focus is given to policy oriented research that highlights the dynamics of Korean and East Asian economies and industries. The journal's coverage includes the following subject areas: international trade and finance, comparative economic and industrial studies of emerging markets, issues of corporate, public and global governance, and other economic and business-related issues in Korea and East Asia.

Global Food History is a peer-reviewed, academic journal with an international scope, presenting new research in food history from the foremost scholars in the field. The journal welcomes original articles covering any period from prehistory to the present and any geographical area, including transnational and world histories of food. Submissions on subjects relating to and from contributors outside of Europe and North America are particularly welcomed. In addition to original research, the journal welcomes articles on teaching food history, archival notes, translations, and other essays that help to build the field by encouraging and disseminating documentation; it will also contain book reviews.

Global Food History aims to encourage a wider recognition of food as not only an important means for studying such traditional scholarly concerns as politics, class, gender, race, and ethnicity, but also an important field in its own right, exploring a vital element of the human experience. As history offers an ideal forum for conversations across the social sciences and humanities, the journal also invites submissions from scholars in allied disciplines who share historians’ concerns with change over time, causation, and periodization. The journal will be of interest to those engaged in the study of the cultural, social and economic history of food.

How can we define intellectual history? At present scholars who call themselves intellectual historians, or who express an interest in intellectual history, can be found working on a variety of topics, such as the history of identity, time and space, empire and race, sex and gender, natural and popular science, the body and its functions, the movements of peoples and the tranmission of ideas, the history of publishing and the history of objects, art history and the history of the book, in addition to the subjects traditionally associated with intellectual history, political theory, political economy and international relations. While Intellectual historians are at the forefront of the current global, transnational, comparative, spatial, visual, and international turns in the historical profession, its definition remains contested. John Burrow, the first person to hold a professorship in the subject in Britain, provided a notable definition of intellectual history as the process of recovering ‘what people in the past meant by the things they said and what these things ‘meant’ to them.’ Burrow warned that it is often the case that ‘academic labels are better thought of as flags of convenience than as names of essences’; but his definition is probably the best we have, as are the metaphors that he employed of the intellectual historian as an eavesdropper upon the conversations of the past, as a translator between the cultures identifiable today and those of the past, and of an explorer studying worlds full of assumptions and beliefs alien to our own.

The fluid identity of intellectual history may explain its success Intellectual history is stronger than ever before at the time of writing. Intellectual historians can be found working in every academy and in every country across a large number of arts faculties. This has led to discussion of the practice of intellectual history in a global age and more particularly to the relationship between intellectual history and global history. David Armitage, for example, has argued that intellectual history is very well placed to deal with the most wide-ranging ideas over long spans of time and across cultures, coining the term ‘a history in ideas’ to describe such labour. Armitage makes the point that the assumption that intellectual historians deal only with specific ideological episodes in narrow and precise contexts is mistaken, as intellectual historians have always been interested in long-term change.  At the same time, and as Moyn’s and Sartori’s edited collection Global Intellectual History underlines, intellectual historians can help in tracking the movement of ideas and their dissemination, and the transformation of ideas across borders and cultures. The result must not be a return to the study of those figures alone who have a global reputation, which is to focus on the peaks of the mountain while neglecting the foothills. The historian who has avoided these sins and has written what might be said to be a model for intellectual historians interested in global ideas is John Pocock.  His Barbarism and Religion books cover the transmission of ideas across the Roman Empire and their history after the break-up of this empire, entailing the translation of arguments across the gigantic Eurasian land mass and their involvement across the Atlantic world and all the lands encompassing the British Empire at the end of the eighteenth century. Pocock has traversed traditional disciplinary boundaries, recovering lost arguments that crossed nations and continents, seeking to explain what they meant to new generations of people who have been schooled in national or narrower forms of history. It is this broader sense of intellectual history that inspires this new journal.

Intellectual history as a subject has thrived because it gives people the skills to understand an alien persona, the product of cultures and beliefs that are likely to have been altogether at odds with their own. Intellectual historians can learn to appreciate the different values held by societies whose modes of living may clash with our own, and realise that the rationales of such values are explicable. Above all, intellectual history teaches prudence, a sense of the alternative futures articulated by historical actors, the transmission mechanisms they developed to realise those futures, and the limits upon their capacity to improve and sometimes to protect their worlds. Given the lack of disciplinary or geographical boundaries to the subject of intellectual history as traditionally practised, it is right to create a journal that encourages exactly these virtues on a global scale.

This journal encourages submissions that cross disciplinary boundaries, that are comparative and transnational, that are concerned with long-term ideological movements and significant turning points in the history of ideas, with the relationship between nations and cultures and continents, and from ancient to modern times.

All research articles published in  Global Intellectual History have undergone rigorous peer-review, involving initial editor screening and anonymized review by at least two referees.

Global Society covers the new agenda in global and international relations and encourages innovative approaches to the study of global and international issues from a range of disciplines. It promotes the analysis of transactions at multiple levels, and in particular, the way in which these transactions blur the distinction between the sub-national, national, transnational, international and global levels. An ever integrating global society raises a number of issues for global and international relations which do not fit comfortably within established 8216;Paradigms'. Among these are the international and global consequences of nationalism and struggles for identity, migration, racism, religious fundamentalism, terrorism and criminal activities, famines, genocides, the spread of contagious disease and pestilence, and environmental degradation. Similarly, the globalisation of normative superstructures, such as of liberal capitalism, or of communications, such as the Internet, influences transactions at all levels and challenges state controls, for instance overflows of capital and of information.Global Society therefore, promotes the analysis of the internationalisation and globalisation of various levels of social interaction from a multitude of disciplines, including international relations, political science, political philosophy, international political economy, international law, international conflict analysis and sociology.Global Society is published by Routledge on behalf of the University of Kent at Canterbury.Peer ReviewAll research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on the Editor' screening and refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.

Globalisation, Societies and Education aims to fill the gap between the study of education and broader social, economic and political forces by analysing the complexities of globalisation. The journal seeks to provide means for affecting, as well as reflecting the experiences, distribution, contributions and outcomes of education at all levels and in all settings.Globalisation, Societies and Education represents scholarly analysis carried out from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including sociology, philosophy, politics, geography, history, economics, management and comparative studies as applied to education and its related fields. We welcome articles drawing on empirical research, comparative and single system case studies and theoretical explorations in the broad area of the relationships between globalisation, societies and education.In addition, Globalisation, Societies and Education seeks to encourage and include more innovative means for communicating information, ideas, debates and arguments on globalisation, education and societies. The journal will include interviews with prominent intellectuals, activists and leaders, website reviews, commentaries on debates and will offer opportunities for the expression of a range of viewpoints.Topics of particular interest to the journal will include:the effects of globalisation on education and training in particular countries, regions and institutions; the subjects of these processes, including global (e.g. World Bank, OECD, UNESCO) and regional organisations (e.g. EU, APEC, NAFTA), and NGOs; new technologies, new modes of e-learning and new identities; globalisation, education and 'development' globalisation and languages; lifelong learning and the knowledge economy; globalisation, education and cultural change; changing labour markets, labour mobility, skills and education; migration flows and education; new institutional forms; education as a global commodity/service; social movements, labour movements and strategies for change.

An Introduction to Globalizations the JournalIntroduction TranscriptA Message from Professor Barry K. Gills - Editor of GlobalizationsGlobalizations publishes work which explores new meanings of globalization, brings fresh ideas to the concept, broadens its scope and contributes to shaping debates of the future. Globalizations is dedicated to opening the widest possible space for discussion of alternatives to a narrow economic understanding of globalization. The move from the singular to the plural is deliberate and implies scepticism of the idea that there can ever be a single theory or interpretation of the term. Rather, the journal encourages the exploration and discussion of multiple interpretations and multiple processes that may constitute many possible globalizations, many possible alternatives.The journal is open to all fields of knowledge, including the natural, environmental, medical, and public health sciences, as well as the social sciences and humanities. Globalizations encourages multidisciplinary research and publishes contributions from all regions of the world.Themes of the journal include: Global Political Economy: stability and change; inequality poverty and global justice Global Environmental: crises versus sustainability Global Public Health: pandemics and remedies Global Gender Relations: exploitation versus empowerment Global Human Security: conflict, peace and collective responsibilities Global Culture: singularity versus multiplicity Global Governance: institutions, organizations, movements and global civil society Global Ethics: values, dialogue and praxis Peer ReviewAll research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two anonymous referees.
