GLOBAL SOCIETY
We are pleased to announce the launch of "Global Society: Journal of
Interdisciplinary International Relations" (ISSN 1360-0862) to be
published by Carfax Publishing Company on behalf of the University of
Kent at Canterbury.
"Global Society" will cover the new agenda in international relations and
encourage innovative approaches to the study of international issues from
a range of disciplines. It will promote the analysis of international
transactions at multiple levels, in particular the way in which these
transactions blur the distinction between the sub-national, national and
transnational levels.
An ever integrating global society raises a number of issues for
international relations which do not fit comfortably within established
'paradigms'. Among these are the international 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 globalization of normative super-structures,
such as of liberal capitalism or of communications, such as the Internet,
influence transactions at all levels and challenge state controls, for
instance overflows of capital and information.
The Editor invites contributions from a variety of disciplines including
International Relations, International Political Economy, Political
Science, Political Philosophy, International Law, International Conflict
Analysis, and Sociology. The emphasis of the articles should be to
advance an understanding of the processes of transnationalization and
globalization at various levels, and the tensions that are caused between
them.
Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced on one side of A4. Articles
should normally be between 8-10,000 words in length. Manuscripts should
be accompanied by a disk in WordPerfect 5.1 format or a convertible
format, such as a plain ASCII text file. Notations should be in the form
of endnotes, collected at the end of an article and noted where
appropriate in the text by a superscript number. Notations should
form part of the actual text, rather than be generated by embedded codes.
