The "Journal of Global South Development Studies" (JGSDS) is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing scholarship and understanding of development issues within the Global South. The journal provides a platform for rigorous research, critical analysis, and policy discussions that address the multifaceted challenges and opportunities facing countries and regions traditionally marginalized in the global development discourse.

The scope of the journal encompasses a broad range of interdisciplinary themes within the context of the Global South, including but not limited to:

• Public Administration & Governance: Public policy formulation and implementation, institutional capacity building, decentralization, administrative reform, state-society relations, corruption, and sustainable governance models.

• Law & Legal Studies: Human rights, constitutionalism, rule of law, international development law, indigenous rights, legal pluralism, land rights, and judicial reform in developing nations.

• Management & Economic Development: Sustainable business practices, social entrepreneurship, public-private partnerships, supply chain management in emerging markets, strategic management, and microfinance.

• Education & Human Development: Educational policy and reform, inclusive education, higher education systems, capacity building, digital literacy, and the intersection of education with poverty reduction and socio-economic mobility.

• Cross-Cutting Development Themes: Climate change adaptation, sustainable development goals (SDGs), global health governance, gender equity, migration, and South-South cooperation.

JGSDS welcomes contributions from academics, policymakers, practitioners, and independent researchers worldwide who offer fresh, critical perspectives grounded in the realities of the Global South.
