International Review of Social Research (www.irsr.eu) announces the release of Issue 3, Vol. 1, 2011, dedicated to ‘Environmental Values and Environmental Change’ (please see contents below). International Review of Social Research is an international, scholarly peer-reviewed journal. Submissions may, but are not required to address the theme of the special issues. The journal publishes research articles grounded in all areas of sociology, social/cultural anthropology and cognate disciplines such as cultural studies, social policy and industrial relations. We also encourage the submission of articles that cover emergent, borderland, unexplored and under-explored topics in both sociology and anthropology. Comparative, ethnographic, critical and space-sensitive approaches are particularly welcomed. 

COMING ISSUES

VOLUME 2, ISSUE 2 (June 2012), Special issue on ‘Enterprising Differently: Markets, Policy Contexts, and Social Enterprises’. Guest editors: Giulia Galera (Euricse/University of Trento) and Mihaela Lambru (University of Bucharest). Over the last three decades social enterprises (co-operatives, mutual organizations, associations and foundations) have raised the interest of both policy makers and scholars from different disciplines in light of the capacity of such initiatives to deal in innovative ways with current problems and challenges, which have a strong impact upon society, including social exclusion, sustainable economic and social local development and social services development. Despite the existence of a multitude of definitions of the social enterprise in the international literature, a growing convergence in meaning has emerged in Europe, where the concept of social enterprise is increasingly used to identify a “different way” of doing business that occurs when institutional structures are created to pursue specifically social goals. The attractiveness of social enterprises is confirmed by the numerous new legal frameworks and support policies, aimed at recognizing the specificity and regulating this type of enterprise, that have been recently introduced - or are in the process of being discussed - in different EU countries (e.g. Italy; UK; France; Slovenia; Poland etc.). The special issue of IRSR aims to bring together contributions dealing with the trends in the development of social enterprises in different societal and organizational contexts. We are particularly interested in contributions grounded in empirical research (both qualitative and quantitative), which investigate the policy role of social enterprises in various policy areas (social, environment, local and regional development etc). We also encourage papers dealing with case-studies of policy initiatives (local, national, EU level); evaluation of public-private partnership development projects involving social enterprises; risks and opportunities in present policy development  trends regarding social enterprises. Comparative policy approaches and studies addressing crucial questions about the role and contribution of sociology in approaching social enterprises issues are also welcomed. Submission status: OPEN, deadline 30 January 2012.

VOLUME 2, ISSUE 1 (February 2012), Special issue on ‘Material Culture and Consumption – Perspectives from the Global South’. This issue, edited by Carmen Rial (Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil), Angela Souza (Federal University for Latin American Integration, Brazil) and Sandra Rubia Silva (Tuiuti University, Brazil) covers the theme of ‘Material Culture and Consumption – Perspectives from the Global South’. In light of current developments, this special issue seeks historical studies and culturally informed critiques of different forms of consumption in the Global South. Contributions grounded in empirical research (especially qualitative) are particularly welcomed. We are especially interested in papers that analyze the diverse genres of material culture. Essays that unearth earlier precedents for this current phenomenon, or works that reveal how past theories can be re-evaluated in the light of emerging dynamics of consumption in the Global South are also welcomed. Submission status: CLOSED.
