SØKNAD OM PUBLISERINGSSTØTTE, FORUM FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIES

Forum for Development Studies is an interdisciplinary, international journal based at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI). The journal publishes original peer reviewed articles pertaining to the domain of development studies broadly defined. The editorial work is undertaken by the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) and the journal is published by Routledge (Taylor and Francis). Forum for Development Studies was established in 1974, and soon became the leading Norwegian journal for development research. While this position has been consolidated, Forum has gradually become an international journal, with its main constituency in the Nordic countries. The journal is owned by the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) and the Norwegian Association for Development Research. Forum aims to be a platform for development research broadly defined ? including the social sciences, economics, history and law. All articles are double-blind peer-reviewed. In order to maintain the journal as a meeting place for different disciplines, we encourage authors to communicate across disciplinary boundaries so that the articles are relevant and accessible to the whole range of the journal's readership, including both academics and practitioners. Forum encourages articles with a solid empirical foundation, including empirical findings based on the practical implementation of development projects, but also contributions of a more theoretical nature. In particular, we welcome articles that explore new perspectives within development studies, and examine the implications of such theories for the study of development processes

Tidsskriftet har hatt som målsetting å bidra til å heve nivået i norsk forskning om utvikling, Nord-Sør-relasjoner og utviklingsbistand, å formidle norsk forskning på disse områder både innad i norske forsknings- og forvaltningsmiljøer og utad i internasj onale forskningsmiljøer, og dessuten å stimulere til faglig debatt. Gradvis er denne målsetting blitt utvidet til nordisk forskning på dette området. I tråd med den generelle målsetting om internasjonalisering av norsk forskning tar tidsskriftet sikte på å etablere seg som et internasjonalt tidsskrift med redaksjonell basis i Norge og en forankring i norske og nordiske forskningsmiljøer.
