About the Journal

The Turkish Journal of International Development (TUJID) is an academic peer-reviewed journal published twice a year. TUJID aims at promoting, developing and providing a deep understanding of International Development. Within this fundamental idea, we aim at publishing qualitative and quantitative works with the objective of providing a more scholarly and institutionalized approach to presenting alternative sustainable, and equitable perspectives within the field of international development studies.

The journal's objective is to disseminate pioneering works to the existing literature from a range of related disciplines, including Political Science, International Relations, Sociology, Public Administration and Economics, among others.

The journal is open access and invites submissions from scholars and experts.
