About the journal

Third World Quarterly (TWQ) is the leading journal of scholarship and policy in the field of international studies. For two and a half decades, it has set the agenda on development discourses of the global debate. As the most influential academic journal covering the emerging worlds, TWQ is at the forefront of analysis and commentary on fundamental issues of global concern.
TWQ examines all the issues that affect the many Third Worlds and is not averse to publishing provocative and exploratory articles, especially if they have the merit of opening up emerging areas of research that have not been given sufficient attention.
TWQ is a peer-reviewed journal that looks beyond strict "development studies", providing an alternative and over-arching reflective analysis of micro-economic and grassroot efforts of development practitioners and planners. It furnishes expert and interdisciplinary insight into crucial issues before they impinge upon media attention, as well as coverage of the very latest publications in its comprehensive book review section.
TWQ acts as an almanac linking the academic terrains of the various contemporary area studies - African, Asian, Latin American and Middle Eastern - in an interdisciplinary manner with the publication of informative, innovative and investigative articles. Contributions are rigorously assessed by regional experts.
Instructions to Authors
Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.
Third World Quarterly welcomes contributions on contemporary issues and events of importance to the Third World. It is a journal of scholarship, and policy articles must be original and should not be under consideration by another publication at the time of submission. Articles should be between 5000 and 6000 words in length, readable, free from esoteric jargon, and informative without being abstruse. Unsolicited manuscripts cannot be returned. There is no submission fee. Accepted articles must conform to Third World Quarterly style requirements. All submissions will be independently refereed.
Please submit to: Shahid Qadir, Editor, Third World Quarterly, Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, UK.
Readership: Third World Quarterly has an international readership that includes academic and research institutions, development professionals, political and diplomatic decision makers, government policy makers and non-governmental opinion formers.
Presentation: Authors should submit three copies of their article, double-spaced throughout (including all quotations and footnotes), and typed in English on single sides of opaque paper. Allow generous margins on both edges of the page and number pages consecutively throughout. A fourth copy should be retained for consultation as manuscripts cannot be returned. Articles should be accompanied by an abstract summarising the main points of the article in not more than 150 words. Full names of the authors should be given, together with a correspondence address and, where possible, a contact fax and telephone number. Current and recent academic and professional affiliations for use in the 'Notes on Contributors' section should be supplied, together with a list of major publications (with dates) and of forthcoming books.
Titles: Titles should be kept short. Brief sub-headings may be used at suitable points throughout the text. Third World Quarterly reserves the right to alter titles in consultation with the author.
Endnotes: Notes should be marked clearly in the text at a point of punctuation, and listed consecutively at the end of the article. They should not be listed at the bottom of each relevant page. Avoid over-numbering references: if one source is being cited for several references within a paragraph, number this only once at the end of the paragraph. The use of notes in general should be kept to a minimum. (Bibliographical references should always be given as notes: separate bibliographies are not published.)
In the case of books, the following order should be observed: author, title, place of publication (followed by province, state or country), publisher, date of publication, page numbers, Eg: J S Kirk, Middle East on Trial, London: Bodley Head, 1977, pp. 3-9.
In the case of articles, the following order should be observed: author, title of article, name of journal, volume number, issue number in brackets, year, page numbers, Eg: B Rubin, 'Drowning in the Gulf', Foreign Policy, 69(4), 1987-88, pp 120-134; or in the case of articles or chapters within books; J Birks, 'Middle East Labour' in Middle East Today, S Sinclair (ed), London, Routledge, 1987, pp 28-36. Unpublished theses, mimeographs and reports also receive full references including the name of the appropriate institution. For newspaper references, give the author, title, name or paper, town in brackets, date of issue and page numbers. Authors' names should be abbreviated to initials and surname in the footnotes.
Tables: The use of tables, graphs and maps is to be avoided wherever possible. If absolutely necessary, please supply camera ready copy. Each table should have a brief descriptive title and a source.
House-style: Third World Quarterly uses the s-suffix: for example, civilise, civilisation rather than civilize, civilization. Dates should be written as follows: 5 August 1966. British rather than American spelling should be used. Numbers from one to nine should be written out in full: figures should be used for numbers above 10. More detailed style guidelines are available from Third World Quarterly upon request.
Alterations and Revisions: If the Editor is of the opinion that an article provisionally accepted for publication needs to be shortened or particular expressions deleted or rephrased, such proposed changes will be submitted to the author for approval prior to publication. Correction of errors in punctuation, spelling and style will not be submitted for approval if they do not alter the meaning or sense of the original manuscript. Authors may be asked to resubmit articles in response to evaluation.
Proofs: Authors are expected to correct proofs of accepted articles.
Copyright: All rights reserved. The Editor is responsible for the selection and acceptance of articles, but responsibility for errors of fact and opinions expressed in them rests with their authors.
The content of articles should not infringe any existing copyright. If any figure, table, or more than a few lines of the text from previously published material are included in a manuscript the author must obtain written permission for republication from the copyright holder; the original source should be clearly noted and acknowledged.
Early Electronic Offprints: Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors will receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author’s preferential rate of ?5.00/$25.00 per copy.
