Call for Papers: International Journal of Globalisation and Small Business, Manuscripts due by: 31 March, 2026

Special Issue on: “From Local Roots to Global Reach: Sustainable Entrepreneurship in BRICS and Emerging Economies”

We aim to prioritise research on BRICS and emerging economies while also integrating comparative perspectives from developed markets. The focus is on how small businesses integrate sustainable practices into global value chains and how they balance global scalability with local authenticity.

We invite scholars to examine innovative practices, policy interventions, and institutional support structures that moderate sustainable entrepreneurship from a global perspective. The highlights of this issue shall inform not only debates within academia but also business ecosystems, policymakers, and support institutions in working towards more resilient and future-ready SMEs. By drawing contributions from various settings, that is, both developed and developing nations, urban and rural regions, and diverse industrial areas, this issue aims to offer a rich, multidimensional understanding of how entrepreneurship and sustainability can intersect in the domain of small businesses.

We invite contributions from scholars working on BRICS and other emerging economies, as well as comparative studies with developed markets.
