Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies (formerly New Community)

EDITORIAL MANAGER

The Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies (JEMS) has existed under its old title New Community since 1971. As migration and ethnic studies have become of increasing relevance at a global level, the journal has evolved to take account of this new reality. JEMS has acquired Associate Editors in North America and the Asia-Pacific Region and changed its name to emphasise its subject matter more clearly to new readers.

JEMS will continue to publish the results of first class research on all forms of migration and its consequences, together with articles on ethnic conflict, discrimination, racism, nationalism, citizenship and policies of integration. Contributions to the journal, which are fully refereed by independent scientific specialists, are especially welcome when they report on comparative research. Contributions are invited from any branch of the social sciences, and the results of inter-disciplinary research are of particular interest.

JEMS has a long-standing interest in policy debates, and in the evaluation of policy initiatives. It will continue to publish special issues on themes of current interest. The book review section will aim to cover the most important titles, and sections on ‘Research Notes’ and ‘Debates’ will be included on a regular basis.

Further information on JEMS is available on http://www.cemes.org

Special Issues

In 1998, JEMS features two special issues. The first in April is on migrants and the informal economy in Europe; the second in October is on citizenship and citizenship policy in the European Union. In 1999, it is hoped to publish a special issue on Caribbean migration and another on the study of transnational communities.
