Global Policy Next Generation

Global Policy: Next Generation is a new annual issue from the journal Global Policy. This multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal provides a platform for PhD students and early career researchers to publish research on-par with the most rigorous of academic journals. We seek out the next generation of ground-breaking research in global policymaking and broaden horizons in terms of both content and authorship. We wish to publish work that pushes beyond the predominant Western-centric viewpoints in global policy research and diversify the scope of research to include both macro and micro levels of global governance. In doing so, GPNG lays down a challenge to early-career researchers around the globe to meet this need for innovative and transformational research ideas that have both theoretical value and practical impact with policymakers. Global Policy: Next Generation goes beyond the remit of producing a peer-reviewed academic journal. It aims to establish a platform for early-career researchers to engage with the wider community of both academia and policymaking by promoting their research through a variety of media. GPNG offers early-career researchers the opportunity to publish opinion pieces on their current research, areas of expertise, or issues that they feel need further analysis and exploration. This is complemented by podcast interviews with academics at all stages of the research process, from those just starting projects to those presenting final products and published works, all sharing ideas and pushing boundaries in terms of how we engage with academic research.
