Journal of South Asian Development

The Journal of South Asian Development, a refereed publication, will publish articles, reviews and scholarly comment relating to all facets of development in South Asia. The journal will be multi-disciplinary, innovative and international in its approach. It will include theoretical and conceptual articles as well as more empirical studies covering both historical and contemporary issues/events. While the journal would be primarily a social science journal (covering politics, international relations, sociology, anthropology, economics), it will consider papers from the natural and environmental sciences, geography, history and other disciplines that deal with development issues in order to provide comprehensive and balanced scholarship.
Geographically, the coverage would include the seven states of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and the Maldives) plus Afghanistan and Myanmar.

Papers should be no longer than 10,000 words length and ideally combine theory with empirical analysis. Papers may focus on a particular state, a group of states or the entire South Asian region. Papers that compare South Asian states or the region with other states and regions are also welcome.
