Declining or Waning

While the journal has consistently focused on various themes, certain areas of research have shown a decline in frequency or focus over recent years, indicating shifts in scholarly attention.
  1. Traditional Political Analysis:
    There has been a noticeable decrease in papers focusing solely on traditional political analysis, such as electoral politics and party dynamics, as the journal shifts towards more nuanced discussions of social movements and grassroots activism.

    The exploration of historical narratives surrounding independence movements in Latin America appears to be waning, possibly replaced by a focus on contemporary social issues and cultural identities.
  3. Economic Development Models:
    Research centered on classical economic development models and policies has diminished, with more emphasis now placed on alternative economic practices and community-based approaches.
  4. Indigenous Rights in Historical Contexts:
    While indigenous rights remain a critical topic, the journal's focus on historical contexts surrounding these issues has decreased, shifting towards current challenges and contemporary struggles faced by indigenous communities.
  5. Gender Studies in Isolation:
    Studies solely focused on gender issues without intersectional approaches are becoming less common, as there is a growing trend towards integrating gender analysis with broader social justice frameworks.
