Call for Submissions, Romanian Journal of Political Science, Focus: “Governance after the crisis”
The global financial and economic crisis has taken its toll on national politics. Ranging from doubts over the legitimacy of capitalism in the West to the (re)election of socialist leaders and military coups in some parts of the South and conflict escalation all across the Middle East and South Asia, the effects of the recent crisis brought into attention a series of governance related issues. Everyone had to look into their own yard, count the livestock and reflect. The aftermath pushed higher on the public agenda a series of questions regarding the current international
governance arrangement. How strong is the relation between business development and government action? What made the growth model of emerging world economies more sustainable than others, making them less vulnerable to the crisis? How did the crisis affect the international aid schemes and their recipients? Has it led to any changes in regional arrangements regarding financial cooperation and sharing of resources? Generally speaking, did the crisis set economic growth and good governance in opposite camps on the policy agenda? The future issue of the Romanian Journal of Political Science will try to tackle some of these issues, as well as other possible effects that the crisis might have had on local, national or global approaches to governance.
PolSci (Romanian Journal of Political Science) is a bi-annual journal edited by the Romanian Academic Society. It is the first peer reviewed journal of political science in Romania and also the first in the field being indexed by ISI Thompson under the Social Sciences Citation Index. The journal benefits from the extensive experience and professionalism of the board members and from valuable contributions of researchers and scholars in the field, being also indexed by other prominent institutions such as IPSA, GESIS, CIAONET, EBSCO, CEEOL and EPNET.
The journal invites academic papers, reviews of recent publications and announcements of forthcoming volumes on approaches to governance after the recent financial and economic crisis. We welcome contributions from various fields of research in social sciences. The papers can address both issues related to changes in approaches to governance at various levels, as well as broad theoretical debates on world governance trends.
