Journal of Global Faultlines

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.
