Journals and Research Resources
Many academic journals across a wide range of disciplines have useful articles on aspects of globalization. Among those cited in the weekly reading lists are the following:
British journal of politics & international relations.; European journal of international relations.; Foreign affairs.; Global environmental politics; Global governance : a review of multilateralism and international organizations.; Governance.; Government and opposition.; History and theory.; International affairs.; International organization.; International relations.; International studies review..; Journal of peace research.; Millennium.; New left review.; New political economy.; Political studies.; Politics.; Review of international studies; Third World Quarterly.
You should browse the Current Periodicals section of the Brotherton library to find up-to-the-minute articles on the latest research and debates. Monthly and weekly magazines, as well as the broadsheet newspapers, also carry topical articles which you will find useful.
It goes without saying that there are immense research resources available on the internet. As part of the required coursework you will be exploring a website and reporting on it, but do explore these resources more widely. But explore them with care: whereas papers published in academic journals and books published by academic publishers have been carefully selected by editors and peer-reviewed, there’s no ‘quality control’ on most websites, so stick to sites which are controlled by reputable NGOs, think-tanks, government departments, etc.
