Aims & Scope of World Quarterly

World Quarterly is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary academic journal that aims to advance scholarly research, critical analysis, and intellectual dialogue in the fields of political science, international relations, sociology, public policy, and global development. The journal provides an inclusive platform for both established and emerging scholars to publish original research that contributes to a deeper understanding of complex socio-political, economic, and cultural phenomena across the globe.

Our primary objective is to bridge the gap between theory and practice by encouraging academic contributions that are not only methodologically rigorous but also practically relevant in contemporary global and regional contexts.

Interdisciplinary & Global Outlook

Recognizing the interwoven nature of modern challenges, World Quarterly encourages interdisciplinary research that integrates insights from economics, law, sociology, environmental science, media studies, and cultural studies, among others.
