Emerging discussions around intersectionality, particularly how various identities (such as gender, race, and class) interact to shape experiences of discrimination and privilege, are becoming more prevalent in the journal's publications.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Economic Models:
Research centered on conventional economic theories and models has seen a decrease, possibly due to a growing preference for more critical and interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate social and cultural dimensions. - Historical Narratives Without Contemporary Relevance:
Although historical analysis remains important, studies focusing exclusively on historical narratives without connections to current social issues are being published less frequently. - Purely Theoretical Frameworks:
There seems to be a waning interest in papers that rely solely on theoretical frameworks without empirical data or practical implications, as the journal increasingly favors research grounded in real-world applications and case studies. - Narrowly Focused Regional Studies:
Research that examines very specific regional issues without broader implications or connections to larger social phenomena is becoming less common, as the journal seeks to address more interconnected and globalized themes.
