Journal of Global Faultlines

About the Journal

The Journal of Global Faultlines is a peer-reviewed, academic journal, currently published twice a year. The journal is based in Keele University, open access, and published by Pluto Journals on ScienceOpen platform.

Aims & Scope

The journal seeks to bring cutting-edge theoretical and critical reflection to bear on dominant and/or mainstream debates within international and global studies and is committed to publishing original theoretical debates, empirically-based investigations and policy discussions. The Journal of Global Faultlines attempts to cover the evolving current world situation by looking at global problems from a variety of different and overlapping perspectives: economic, political, philosophical, cultural, educational, geographical, social, and historical, among many others. 

 The journal aims to provide ongoing open forums to discuss and analyse global problems and developments from critical perspectives or viewpoints, and thus improve understanding of the underlying forces shaping the destiny of the world in the 21st century. To this end, the journal also encourages contributions from writers and disciplines that are not commonly associated with the study of the aforementioned academic fields of study.  Contributions from scholars working around the globe are particularly welcome. The journal endorses a full peer-review process, consisting of editorial selection followed by at least two anonymous peer-reviewers.

Journal Information

The journal is published twice a year in July and December. The journal has its own website where further information can be found here.
