Political, Economic and Social Analysis of Developing Countries

Outline

By publishing the web magazine IDE Square on an ongoing basis, we will deliver high-quality analysis of political, economic, and social developments in emerging and developing countries with responsiveness and timeliness. In addition to analytical articles by contributors both within and outside the institute, the publication will feature explanatory pieces on cutting-edge research and columns introducing local customs and lifestyles from various regions. We will also regularly organize special issues on topics of high social relevance. Our primary target audience includes general readers—such as students, business professionals, policymakers, and media representatives—as well as researchers who have an interest in emerging and developing country regions.
