René Wadlow's Transnational Perspectives

Transnational Perspectives is a journal of world politics and social policy with an emphasis on currents of thought which cross frontiers and unite peoples. Transnational Perspectives, founded in 1974, has three aims:

  • To propose measures for order and justice in the world society;
  • To suggest creative possibilities for conflict transformation and the reduction of violence;
  • To encourage ecologically-sound development and reverence for life.

In order to provide a useful forum for analysis of difficult problems, authors take the responsibility of the views expressed in their articles and book reviews. The responsibility of the editors is to champion the free expression of findings. (on Homepage).

Linked with Pinar Ilkkaracan – Turkey.
