A consistent theme in the journal is the exploration of human rights issues, particularly in relation to marginalized groups and social justice movements, as seen in papers addressing gender violence and the role of international courts. - Environmental Governance and Climate Change:

Trending and Emerging
- Feminist Perspectives in Global Issues:
The increase in papers addressing gender perspectives, particularly in relation to food security and women's rights, indicates a growing recognition of the importance of feminist analysis in global studies. - Climate Change and Marine Governance:
Emerging research on climate change, particularly in relation to marine governance and biodiversity, reflects a heightened focus on environmental sustainability, aligning with global priorities in the face of climate change challenges. - Digital Diplomacy and Social Media:

Declining or Waning
- Military Relations and Security Studies:
While military relations were previously a focal point, recent publications suggest a waning interest in traditional security studies, possibly due to a broader shift towards non-military aspects of global studies. - Historical Case Studies of Past Conflicts:
The journal has seen fewer papers focusing on historical analyses of past conflicts or military strategies, indicating a potential decline in interest in purely historical perspectives in favor of more contemporary analyses. - Political Risk Analysis:
The analysis of political risk, particularly in relation to foreign investments, appears to be less frequently addressed in recent publications, suggesting a shift towards more pressing contemporary issues.
