Globalizations publishes work which explores new meanings of globalization, brings fresh ideas to the concept, broadens its scope and contributes to shaping debates of the future.

Globalizations is dedicated to opening the widest possible space for discussion of alternatives to a narrow economic understanding of globalization. The move from the singular to the plural is deliberate and implies scepticism of the idea that there can ever be a single theory or interpretation of the term. Rather, the journal encourages the exploration and discussion of multiple interpretations and multiple processes that may constitute many possible globalizations, many possible alternatives.

The journal is open to all fields of knowledge, including the natural, environmental, medical, and public health sciences, as well as the social sciences and humanities. Globalizations encourages multidisciplinary research and publishes contributions from all regions of the world.

Themes of the journal include:

• Global Political Economy: stability and change; inequality poverty and global justice
• Global Environmental: crises versus sustainability
• Global Public Health: pandemics and remedies
• Global Gender Relations: exploitation versus empowerment
• Global Human Security: conflict, peace and collective responsibilities
• Global Culture: singularity versus multiplicity
• Global Governance: institutions, organizations, movements and global civil society
• Global Ethics: values, dialogue and praxis
