This new internationally refereed journal publishes the outcomes of research and current debates on development education and related concepts such as global learning, global education and global citizenship.

The journal is an academic response to the increased public and educational interest in learning and understanding about the wider world. It offers greater understanding of the reasons for global inequality and how global issues such as poverty affect people's everyday lives. It critically explores international development issues so as to help people develop the practical skills and confidence to make positive changes, both locally and globally.

This is the first academic journal specifically to address these matters. Development education and related areas such as global learning have their roots primarily in the practice of non-governmental organisations. The journal brings to the international academic and research community the richness and importance of this neglected academic area. Its purpose is to help advance theoretical and empirical understanding of development education and global learning through a focus on research and reviewing policy and practice in the field .

The content will reflect international debates and understanding of public support for global development issues. The journal also carries book reviews.

The criteria for papers are that they are analytical and critical, and that the ideas being discussed are transferable to other educational systems and cultures and accessible to an international audience.

Themes for future issues are: the pedagogy of teacher education and global learning; cosmopolitanism and global citizenship; research from multiple epistemologies; and policy and practice.

The journal has an internationally renowned editorial board of academics from around the world and will involve civil society bodies and NGOs through specially commissioned articles that review practice in different countries.

It has been founded at the Development Education Research Centre at the Institute of Education, University of London under its Director, Dr Douglas Bourn - further details from d.bourn@ioe.ac.uk
