Barents Studies: Peoples, Economies and Politics
CALL FOR PAPERS!
Barents Studies: Peoples, Economies and Politics is an international, multidisciplinary academic journal
for delivering and discussing original and current research results concerning the peoples, economies
and politics in the Barents Euro-Arctic region. The journal provides information about different aspects
of regional development within the region itself and outside affecting the region. The journal is based on
empirical research in the Barents Region but with strong connections to social science theories and
methodologies in general. The journal is meant for researchers, students and readers interested in
current issues and developments in the Barents Region.
The journal will be published twice a year electronically and as a paper version. It will be easily
accessible, free of charge, and will be distributed widely across the region and beyond. The journal will
contain 3-4 peer-reviewed scientific articles. We also welcome reviews on recent regionally relevant
books, news, announcements, presentations of current research, institutions and significant projects.
The three issues to be published in 2013-2014 will cover different aspects of sustainability in the region:
the political, the social and the economic. The fourth issue will be a popularized one, consisting of a
selection of academic articles, news, reviews and presentations. The project is funded by the EU
Kolarctic ENPI CBC programme.
