Call for Papers

 

  1. BRICS and Covid-19

The Journal of BRICS Studies invites submissions on Covid-19 and BRICS countries or the BRICS platform itself. The papers are being commissioned to consider the experiences of individual BRICS countries or several of them or the BRICS institution itself. These may discuss such themes as disease and dis-ease in the context of Covid-19, public policy and health governance, responses of public health regimes, crisis /disaster management, education, livelihoods, science and public policy, technology and digitization, finance and economy, communications and media, state responses, non-state responses, vaccination, building-back-better and post-Covid-19 and others. 

or

  1. BRICS and Africa

The Journal also invites submissions on the convergence between BRICS and Africa, covering both the individual relationships and collective relations between the BRICS and the continent of Africa. The subject is occasioned by thematic analysis of such developments as trade, investment, scientific cooperation, technological transfer, external debt, infrastructure development, sustainable development, energy and so forth. Yet, through these discussions, we can understand if there is sufficient convergence of interests between Africa and BRICS for them to cooperate deeply and broadly into the long-term. We need to understand where this convergence lies and where the divergences are in order to recommend ways of harnessing the former and mitigating the latter.

 

Submissions

Submissions will be subjected to peer-review for publication in the inaugural and second volumes of the new open-access online Journal for BRICS Studies. Papers must be between 4000 and 5000 in the case of commentary or debate articles and up to 7000 words in the case of a research article. They must be written in accessible English.
