Submission Guidelines

We invite scholarly papers and workshop proposals across the broad fields of International Finance, Economics, and Accounting. We seek to provide a platform for rigorous research into financial globalisation, international financial integration, and corporate accountability.

While we welcome submissions on all core topics within these disciplines, we have a particular interest in their interactions with Climate and Green Finance. We encourage papers that examine how traditional financial mechanisms, economic policies, and accounting frameworks can be leveraged to aid the sustainable growth of economies and organisations. We highly welcome research that explores the overlaps, interstices, conflicts, and concordances between these established fields and the emerging green transition."S
