Aims
The Near East University Social Sciences Journal is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing scholarly research and critical inquiry across a range of disciplines. The Journal publishes twice a year in April and October and exclusively welcomes scholarly contributions in the fields of society, politics and governance. Thus, the Journal provides a global platform for original research that brings novel perspectives and intellectual input to the theoretical, empirical, and methodological understanding of contemporary issues. The Journal also welcomes review articles that aim to revisit or re-assess the existing literature in the above-mentioned particular fields of study.
The NEU Social Sciences Journal is a bilingual journal publishing articles in both Turkish and English, reflecting its fundamental goal of amplifying both Turkish and international scholarship.
The Journal seeks to bring together diverse disciplinary perspectives and encourages scientific and critical research that examines the complex interactions among political, socio-economic, and institutional and administrative processes at local, regional and international levels. The Journal is globally oriented and geographically inclusive in aim and scope; it is not confined to any particular region or geographical area. The Journal is primarily open to works that postulate and explore the contemporary affairs.
The articles address historical, institutional and socio-political contexts. In this vein, the Social Sciences Journal aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of continuity, change and/ or the interplay of both of those processes. Thus, the NEU Social Sciences Journal publishes both research and review articles and primarily welcomes theoretically-engaged and also empirical studies that make a substantive contribution to their respective fields of study. In line with its scope, we aim to foster scholarly dialogue and promote a nuanced understanding of complex political and socio-economic dynamics shaping the contemporary world.
