Social Change (SC)

Social Change is an established, scholarly quarterly journal that has been publishing since 1971, providing a significant platform for research and discussion on social change, development, and transformation in diverse societies across the world. Sponsored by the Council for Social Development and published by SAGE Publications, the journal emphasizes rigorous empirical research and theoretically informed essays that explore how social processes evolve in contexts shaped by power relations, public policy, cultural norms, and economic structures. Its multidisciplinary scope spans sociology, development studies, political science, anthropology, public policy, and related fields, engaging with pressing issues such as education, labour markets, migration, human rights, health disparities, environmental challenges, and governance. The journal foregrounds studies that highlight both local realities and broader global trends in social transformation, making it relevant to academics, activists, NGO practitioners, and policymakers alike. Social Change also features book reviews and special thematic sections that reflect emerging debates in social sciences. With its quarterly publication cycle and a global editorial board, the journal supports scholarly dialogue that bridges empirical insights and policy implications, contributing to deeper understandings of society’s evolving structures and processes.
