Global-E Journal

global-e provides a forum for timely commentary regarding global events, processes, and concerns. Each issue is comprised of a feature essay by a leading scholar or practitioner offering provocative reflections on public issues, historical trends, theoretical debates, methodological challenges, and curricular concerns. Originally launched in 2008 as a pathbreaking collaboration of global studies centers at six research universities, we have published articles on global politics, culture, economy, environment, and more. After a hiatus in 2015, due largely to administrative and funding issues at partner institutions, global-e was re-launched the following year under the editorial leadership of the Mellichamp Initiative on 21st Century Global Dynamics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. We are supported by a distinguished editorial board as well as the Global Studies Consortium, an association of some 30-40 global and transnational studies programs on five continents.
