Growth and Change: A Journal of Urban and Regional Policy welcomes manuscripts from scholars and professionals in all disciplines and specialties. Contributions from economics, geography, regional science, urban and regional planning, public finance, sociology, and agricultural economics are particularly encouraged. Increasingly we are interested in submissions that bring a multi-disciplinary perspective to bear on the problems addressed. Both policy and theoretical implications of topics and a focus on urban and regional development in domestic and international contexts are very appropriate.

This journal covers the most active and promising areas of current research in gynecology and obstetrics.

The relationship between human rights and the environment is fascinating, uneasy and increasingly urgent. This international journal provides a strategic academic forum for an extended interdisciplinary and multi-layered conversation that explores emergent possibilities, existing tensions, and multiple implications of entanglements between human and non-human forms of liveliness. We invite critical engagements on these themes, especially as refracted through human rights and environmental law, politics, policy-making and community level activisms.
