Journal of Civil Society (JCS)
Journal Descriptions
Journal of Civil Society (JCS) is a preeminent academic journal dedicated to research and policy analysis on civil society. As a peer-reviewed publication with stringent standards, JCS serves as a prominent and influential platform for world-class scholarship and debate on civil society. In this context, JCS aims to enhance the theoretical understanding and empirical knowledge of civil society – its nature, patterns and composition; its history and development; and its relationships with the economy, political system and society at large. The journal’s primary goal is to foster and inform the diversity of scholarship and approaches to civil society across disciplines, as well as national and comparative perspectives. JCS specifically seeks qualitative and/or quantitative contributions on a range of topics, including (but not limited to): Philanthropy and social investment (e.g. grantmaking, foundations) Volunteerism (e.g. citizen participation, volunteer activities) Nonprofit governance, management and leadership (e.g. organizational behaviour, accountability, finance and fundraising) Public policy (e.g. government-civil society relations) Globalization and transnational civil society (e.g. international NGOs, transnational advocacy networks) Social justice and contentious issues (e.g. advocacy, human rights, protests, social movements) Social innovation and entrepreneurship (e.g. social enterprises, business-civil society relations) Cultural and educational initiatives (e.g. youth engagement, arts and culture promotion) Environmental sustainability (e.g. climate change initiatives)
