Call - 2024

As part of our core mission, we are working to increase specialized insights dedicated to geopolitics, security and geostrategy, responding to the emerging need to analyze global instability factors in post-conflict, developing countries and crisis areas in order to gather and study cross-regional correlations across continents.

The Call for Papers aims to collect, map and report expert perspectives from an international group of authors, whose analysis of the chosen topics will provide a comprehensive view of the global context. Following a quality assessment conducted by the partner organizations, the best contributions received will eventually be published as part of the thematic volume citing the respective authors.
