•Book reviews and review essays

Resilience: International Policies, Practices and Discourses

 The new fully peer-reviewed journal Resilience: International Policies, Practices and
Discourses creates a platform for dialogue about the processes, spaces, policies,
practices and subjectivities through which resilience is seen to operate. As a
multidisciplinary journal, Resilience draws together expertise from disciplines such as
international sociology, geography, political theory, development studies, security
studies, anthropology and law. The journal seeks to draw out and engage with the
assumptions informing resilience approaches and practices and, in so doing, create
an inter-disciplinary space for contemporary critical social theorising.

We are calling for book reviews and review essays which survey the broadly defined field of resilience studies and cover themes including: the practices of prevention, empowerment and capacity-building; the policies of resilience, their proliferation and implementation; their discourses of adaptation and vulnerability, their genealogy, their spaces of construction, their relation to economics and to politics and the subjectivities which they elicit. The reviews editor will be happy to get books sent to reviewers directly from the publisher and is also available to discuss specific themes and proposals.

Review essays should be between 2-3,000 words, and individual book reviews
should be a maximum of 850 words (including references). Submissions should follow the journal referencing and style guidelines found at  ww.tandfonline.com/resi.

The author’s name, institutional affiliation and word count, should be contained on a separate cover sheet. Submissions should be sent to the reviews editor, Erika Cudworth at e.calvo@uel.ac.uk.
