Call for Publications Theme: Global Ethics and the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda Publication: Journal of Global Ethics Date: Issue 11:1 Deadline: 1.12.2014 __________________________________________________ As the era of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals comes to a close we turn our eyes to the post-2015 agenda, dubbed the Sustainable Development Goals (http://sustainabledevelopment.un.org). Work has proceeded on the new agenda since the Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development in 2012, and has found shape in the Open Working Group’s recently released “Outcome document”: http://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/focussdgs.html Fifteen years on, the vision has evidently become more inclusive, representing more voices and engaging broader ethical concerns than those found in the Millennium Development Goals. Climate justice, human security and changing shapes of governance have infused the new agenda, further increasing the relevance of this endeavour to Journal of Global Ethics. We invite critical reflection on the merits of these new goals and of their implementation, and we invite ethical assessment of the general approach to development that is to be found in this renewed cosmopolitan initiative. Invitations to contribute to the forum will go to various area leaders this fall. We simultaneously present an open request for similar contributions from our readership. This is an opportunity for you to write very directly to call the attention of colleagues to concerns that arise from this policy initiative for theory, through action, and in research. Material that is to be considered for Journal of Global Ethics issue 11:1 is due 1 December 2014 (11:2 due 1 April 2015, 11:3 due 15 July 2015). We request a comment of whatever length you wish to provide up to 4000 words. Please also provide an abstract of 100 words or fewer and a list of at most five keywords. Submit material – with "Global Ethics Forum" in the title or written as the first line of the manuscript – to the journal's editing system using the usual article submission process. See “Instructions for authors” at the journal’s webpages: http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=rjge20&page=instructions We consider this section of offerings to be a forum, rather than a space of traditional peer review: to the extent that space allows, we expect to publish as many of the offerings to the forum as we find to be cogent that the journal’s available pages will also accommodate. This call, will soon be posted, and links to the progress of the developing SDG framework will be updated, at: http://explore.tandfonline.com/cfp/ah/journal-of-global-ethics-call-for-papers Eric Palmer, j...@allegheny.edu Sirkku Hellsten, skhellsten...@gmail.com Editors, Journal of Global Ethics __________________________________________________ InterPhil List Administration: http://interphil.polylog.org Intercultural Philosophy Calendar: http://cal.polylog.org __________________________________________________
