Viewpoints


At Center for New Critical Politics and Governance we write and publish a series of special collections. We call them Viewpoints. Each edition contains a string of poignant, scholarly articles that speak to a common theme. Invited authors are asked to write articles no longer than 2000 words, keeping them short and to the point. The first edition explores the concept of The Planetary. Viewpoints are published in collaboration with the journal Global Perspectives
