About Journal of International Cooperation in Education

Aims and scope

The Journal of International Cooperation in Education (JICE) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that engages with unconventional approaches to educational development and knowledge generation. Embracing untapped intellectual resources to problematise the dominant mode of policy-making and practices in the global South, the Editors welcome papers that:

  • Reflect and analyse the past, present and future of the global educational policy architecture from unconventional critical perspectives.
  • Discuss sustainable forms and practices of education in the global South drawing from critiques of the dominant development paradigm.
  • Bring voices of diverse stakeholders involved in International Cooperation in Education such as practitioners, grassroots organisations, and policymakers in addition to scholars.

The term ‘International Cooperation’ denotes the Journal’s vision that education can be a process of cooperation, with non-hierarchical, horizontal relationships among stakeholders. In an effort to suggest an alternative mode of development, the Editors encourage authors to challenge the dominant approach to academic knowledge production; we welcome contributions that transgress the conventional forms of scholarship in their analysis and/or presentation.

Journal of International Cooperation in Education publishes original research articles based on empirical data, as well as theoretical, conceptual and methodological papers, research notes and book reviews. See the list of our previous issues here and here.
