We follow a regular publishing schedule with occasional special issues. Our focus is to provide a platform for critical research on the intersections of liberty and international affairs, welcoming diverse perspectives from fields such as law, political science, economics, and international relations. 🗣️ Liberty: Central to our mission, the "liberty" section draws inspiration from influential thinkers like Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, Ayn Rand, Ludwig von Mises, and others.

It's a fundamental human right, emphasizing personal freedom, autonomy, and choice. The journal explores liberty's theoretical and practical dimensions across individual, political, and economic freedoms, with a focus on how these freedoms are defined, protected, and contested in various contexts. We encourage research that critically analyzes the evolving nature of freedom, especially regarding the tensions between civil rights and state power in modern societies. 🔍 Key Areas of Focus: -Political & Civil Liberties: Exploring democracy, civil rights, governance, and the balance between individual freedoms and state authority. -Economic Freedom & Property Rights: Examining market dynamics, entrepreneurship, property rights, and the role of state regulation. -Liberty & Social Justice: Investigating how liberty intersects with social equality, welfare, education, and the protection of marginalized groups. -Globalization & Surveillance: Analyzing the impact of globalization, technology, and surveillance on individual freedoms, privacy, and sovereignty. -Philosophical Foundations: Delving into the theoretical underpinnings of liberty, its historical evolution, and challenges in defining and protecting freedom today. We invite contributions that push the boundaries of thought and critical inquiry, offering a space for innovative research in these essential areas. 🔗 Submissions: https://lnkd.in/dgD9yhxc 🔗 You can register and submit online or email submissions to contact@e-jlia.com #Liberty #InternationalAffairs #OpenAccess #PeerReviewed #Freedom #CivilRights #EconomicFreedom #SocialJustice #Globalization #Surveillance #Philosophy #Research

🌍 New Article Alert! 🌍Published in the Journal of Liberty and International Affairs (December 28, 2024) 📖 The New Trend in the EU’s Migration Policy: Is Externalization Any Better? 🔗 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/d4HxiX_Q ✍️ Authors: Vasil Pavlov (University of National and World Economy, Sofia, Bulgaria) Raquel Cardoso (Universidade Lusíada/CEJEIA, Porto, Portugal) 📝 Abstract: The global security landscape remains turbulent, with millions fleeing armed conflicts, civil wars, and political instability.
