This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities and SDG 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
This Collection aims to explore social, political, and academic debates that have emerged specifically in the 21st century and are crucial for the development of our global societies.
It seeks to bring into further global inter- and transdisciplinary dialogue three main traditions of critical thought: (a) Left-Hegelianism, with its Marxist and Post-Marxist tradition; (b) Poststructuralism and Poststructuralist-inspired critique of power; and (c) Post- and Decolonial theories. For the purpose of this Collection, we are highly interested in the contributions of these traditions toward pressing social problems. Articles must engage with at least one of the aforementioned traditions and discuss contemporary problems and challenges.
We seek contributions from the whole range of the Social Sciences and Humanities, as well as trans- and interdisciplinary research, to bring together international scholars for finding answers to pressing questions of our time. The collection is especially interested in the dialogue between the geopolitical North and the geopolitical South, recognizing their different yet interconnected experiences, analyses, and theoretical production.
Contributions are invited on, but not restricted to, empirical and theoretical reflections on the following topics:
- The reproduction of social inequalities and injustices such as racism, sexism, and class-based discrimination.
- Systems of social pathologies, i.e., the systematic and structural foundations of injustice and inequalities.
- Alternatives to the existing systems of injustice.
- Processes of social change and transformation, and the possibilities and conditions of social movements.
- Regressive tendencies in contemporary societies, such as nationalism, populism, and militarism.
- Dialogues between different critical traditions, i.e., between Post-Marxist, Poststructuralist-inspired, and Decolonial perspectives.
The Collection is neither interested in solely historical phenomena nor in exclusively inner-theoretical debates. Proposals must engage with contemporary social and political issues.
