Competition and Change is an international peer-reviewed journal, uniquely featuring theoretical, empirical and policy oriented research that aims to develop an understanding of the causes and consequences of competition and change with respect to globalization, financialization and broader conceptualizations of restructuring capitalist relations. The journal is inter-disciplinary and welcomes contributions from a wide range of social science disciplines, including heterodox economics, political economy, critical research on work, management and organization, economic geography, sociology, development studies and international relations. In particular, we are interested in research and scholarly work that focuses on:

1. The nature of contemporary capitalism, including its organizational and spatial dynamics and their gendered effects

2. The drivers, mechanisms, and uneven impacts of globalization and social change

3. The changing configuration of state-market-civil society relations, including diverse forms of governance, regulation, resistance, and social welfare

4. The forms, processes and consequences of financialization

5. Global value chains and production networks, industrial clusters and other organizational forms with new implications for economic, social, and environmental upgrading.

6. Different forms and disruptive influences of capitalist instability including global civil society, social movements, migration, and climate change.

7. Industrial structure, nature of competition and performance within and across national/regional economies

8. How global political economy shapes, and is shaped by, the worlds of work, organization, society, and nature
