Ageing and Development Group are meeting on 7th January at HelpAge International Journal of International Development CALL
FOR POLICY ARENAS 2008
‘Policy
arenas’ are a special feature of the Journal of International Development.
They comprise 3-4 articles with an introduction written by guest
editors, and focus on a policy theme or a theme that has clear policy
implications. General
guidelines for policy arenas are: ·
The
introductory article should be in the form of a review article that
engages with the literature in the area of the policy arena as well as
introducing the articles ·
The
articles should directly address policy issues in international
development ·
Policy
arenas should have a referee from a relevant policy domain as well as
an academic referee (see below). We
are particularly keen to have policy arenas that engage with and blend
the natural and social sciences in addressing development policy We
are also keen to have policy arenas that address a topic of immediate
relevance - ‘hot topics’. If proposals of this kind are made, we
will endeavour to support the refereeing process so that they can be
published quickly. Guest
editing and refereeing guidelines are available. Proposals
for policy arenas and special issues should include a title,
description of the theme/topics to be addressed and, preferably,
abstracts of the articles to be included. However exploratory ideas
can also be discussed. Proposals
should be submitted to Hazel Johnson (h.e.johnson@open.ac.uk).
Changes to the DSA Website and implications for membership correspondence We are in the process of changing over our website to the new one with a host of up to date facilities. This does mean, however, that we are unable to process your membership applications at the moment. For new members we will start your year's membership from the date we input your details, and for those of you renewing, there will be no gap in your membership. Thanks for your understanding.
