The
Special Forum in Globalizations will contain short
essays (from 2000 to 4000 words. They will be free online
access on the Routledge website. Co-editors of the Special
Forum are Barry Gills and Chris Chase-Dunn. The Forum will
include both those who are
friendly to the idea of a global political organization and
those who think this is a bad idea. It will be a
mix of positive reflections and critical ones and should
include those that expand the thinking horizon on the issue of
progressive world politics. Please let us know if you are
willing to write for this as soon as possible and send your
essay to bkeithgills@gmail.com
and to chriscd@ucr.edu
no later than Friday, December 14, 2018. Also, if you
have suggestions of others we should invite please send those
as well.
Globalizations is an interdisciplinary journal published by Routledge. We hope that this forum will be co-published by Globalizations, Journal of World-Systems Research, Monthly Review Press and Pambazuka News (an African ezine with a wide following among activists and scholars in Africa). Although initially in the English language, we anticipate and encourage translations.
Representatives of each of the co-publishers have been be asked to approve the contents of the forum and each publisher will be named in the front page of the forum. Each of the co-publishers will provide links from their own websites to the Globalizations special forum and links from each co-publisher will be listed on the Globalizations forum site. This collaboration will allow wide access to the important discussion of Samir Amin’s proposal for a new global political organization.
