A selection of Springer journals within the business, economics, and social science disciplines are inviting submissions for a new collection on Development in support of the Sustainable Development Goal for Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8).
The Collection on Economic, Social, and Political Development in Developing Countries is interdisciplinary and includes development research from political, economic, sociological, and anthropological perspectives. The Collection aims to synthesize and integrate research experience, activism, and alternative thinking in the development space, thereby promoting sustainability.
The Collection welcomes papers rooted in any field, including (but not limited to): development, economics, finance, social policy, politics, sociology, political science, anthropology, development studies, decentralization, urbanization, management, and sustainability. This Collection will gather varying perspectives, theories, policies, and research on evidence-based practice in one place to further support SDG 8 to be utilized by both researchers and practitioners.
We encourage the submission of research and review articles on the following topics:
- Expanding access to banking and financial services
- Trade support for developing countries
- Sustaining economic growth in developing countries
- Economic development in the global south
- Community economic development
- Decentralization and development
- Sustainable consumption
- Early social development and schooling
- Social protection
- Political, social, economic, and environmental change in local, national, and international contexts
- Urbanization and decent employment
- Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and their socio-economic effects
- Global health and economic outcomes
We are also interested in receiving submissions on research discussing the post-pandemic world. Some of the key questions are:
1. What are the directions in which society will be moving in the 'new normal' in the post-pandemic world?
2. What aspects of the economy should receive more attention in the new normal process of development?
3. Is there a dynamic process for the evolving policy of developing countries? What forces guide such political developments?
Interested authors are invited to submit to the collection through the submission portal of their selected participating journal, in accordance with that journal’s submission guidelines. To ensure a paper is considered for the collection, reply “yes” when asked during submission whether it is intended for a special issue, and select “Economic, Social and Political Development in Developing Countries” from the drop-down menu.
Submitted manuscripts must be original and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All submissions are subject to a rigorous peer-review process, per the standard evaluation process of the selected journal. Please refer to the submission guidelines of the selected journal for more detailed information on the peer review process.
Accepted papers will be published in the journal to which they were submitted and included in this cross-journal collection.
