We’ve been independent since day one and our independence is guaranteed indefinitely. This means that for six decades we have measured success not by share price but by how we ‘build bridges to knowledge’ — helping develop ideas through the research process into scholarship that is certified, taught, and applied.
The Journal of Developing Societies is a refereed international journal on development and social change not only in ‘developing’ countries but also the ‘developed’ societies of the world. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for the publication of theoretical perspectives, research findings, case studies, policy analyses and normative critiques on the issues, problems and policies of both mainstream and alternative approaches to development. The journal represents the full range of diverse theoretical and ideological viewpoints on development that exist in the contemporary international community.
