GLOBALIZATIONS
Globalizations is dedicated to opening the widest possible space for discussion of alternatives to a narrow economic understanding of globalization. The move from the singular to the plural is deliberate and implies skepticism of the idea that there can ever be a single theory or interpretation of globalization. Rather, the journal will seek to encourage the exploration and discussion of multiple interpretations and multiple processes that may constitute many possible globalizations, many possible alternatives.
Organization & Environment
Organization & Environment is recognized as a leading international journal for ecosocial research and is unique in its emphasis on organizations, institutions, and nature. Ecosocial research refers to any interdisciplinary study of social organizing as it relates to the natural world. Accordingly, Organization & Environment publishes work that focuses on connections between the natural environment (including animals, plants, air, water, land, and other ecological entities and systems) and formal and informal patterns of organizing (including human production and consumption, human service, and environmental protection and advocacy). O&E contributors are concerned with environmental damage, restoration, sustainability, and liberation in relation to their complex social causes and consequences.
