The Journal of Developing Areas (JDA)

The Journal of Developing Areas (JDA) is a long‑standing peer‑reviewed journal dedicated to advancing scholarship on economic development and related social sciences. Established in 1966, it provides a platform for research addressing the challenges and opportunities faced by developing nations. The journal publishes original articles on topics such as economic growth, trade, finance, poverty reduction, education, health, governance, and sustainable development. Its interdisciplinary scope welcomes contributions from economics, political science, sociology, and international relations, reflecting the complex realities of development. JDA is particularly valued for its focus on applied research and policy relevance, making it a resource not only for academics but also for policymakers and practitioners. Each quarterly issue features empirical studies, theoretical analyses, and case studies that highlight both global trends and region‑specific issues. With rigorous peer review and editorial oversight, the journal maintains high academic standards while fostering dialogue among scholars worldwide. Published by Tennessee State University’s College of Business, JDA continues to play a vital role in shaping debates on development and providing insights into strategies for improving social and economic outcomes in less‑developed regions.
