Welcome to the Globalisation for the Common Good Initiative Journal (GCGI Journal)
The GCGI Journal is a publication stemming from a relationship with the Globalisation for the Common Good Initiative based in the United Kingdom.
The unique aim of GCGIJ, a journal of original articles of the GCGI, as well as other original authors is working towards building a better world consistent with the values of social justice, peace and ecology, to help close the gap between theory and practice, and between theorists and practitioners. The GCGIJ will publish scholarly essays that integrate rigorous thinking about basic principles and theories of the common good and globalization, into discussions of practical issues related to policy developments, social pressures and change, global institutional arrangements and structures, the conduct of important international actors, and other cultural, ecological, economic and systemic patterns and trends.
Globalisation for the Common Good Initiative Journal (GCGIJ) is dedicated to promoting the inclusion of ethical, moral and spiritual values into the areas of economics, commerce, trade and international relations, in order to advance understanding and action. GCGIJ seeks to identify and propose collaborative policy solutions on the major global issues and challenges by civil society, private enterprise, the public sector, governments, and national and international institutions. We are committed to the idea that the marketplace is not just an economic sphere, ‘it is a region of the human spirit’. We view the problem and challenge of globalisation not only from an economic point of view, but also from a diversity of ethical, spiritual, theological and humanist currents and perspectives. Globalization for the common good is predicated on a global economy of sharing and community, grounded in an economic value system whose aim is generosity and the promotion of a just distribution of the world’s goods, services, natural resources, and wealth, while leaving room for other species to thrive as well.
*Frequency: The Journal is no longer a regular or routine publication. At the beginning GCGIJ was published bi-annually (spring and fall), each issue attempts to focus on a particular theme, topic, or region of the world while remaining open to any submission which deals with any of the core values of the GCGI.
*Subscription: GCGIJ is available to interested individuals free of charge (open access).
*Sponsorship: GCGIJ is hosted by Faculty in the Department of Economics, Wilmington College of Ohio, USA. It is not however an offical publication of the college
*Affiliation: GCGIJ is affiliated with the Globalization for the Common Good Initiative (www.gcgi.info ), based in the United Kingdom.
We believe in a genuinely inclusive inter-cultural and inter-faith/spirituality dialogue, as well as a multi and interdisciplinary approach to problem solving. A dialogue based upon co-operation and mutual respect, is essential in bringing the world together; enhancing intercultural understanding, and leading to the creation of a harmonious global environment. Such efforts will contribute to a world of peace, justice and true prosperity for all.
We look forward to your contributions to GCGIJ and assistance in recommending this publication to your interested friends, colleagues and students.
