Hikama (a public policy and public administration journal published by the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies and the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies) is planning a special issue focused on “The Governance of Environmental Policy in the Arab Countries: Risks, Opportunities, and Reform Programs”. The special issue will include peer-reviewed articles along with policy papers.

Timelines

• Proposals (250-500 words) must be submitted by 15 January 2024. This should include the project title, research question, and methodology.
• Deadline to submit draft manuscript with preliminary findings (Research Paper 7,000-10,000 words; Policy Paper 3,000-5,000 words): 15 June 2024.
• Only original research intended specifically for this special issue will be accepted. Authors must ensure that their submissions have not previously been published elsewhere.
• The papers chosen for discussion during the workshop planned for Autumn 2024 will be selected based on their adherence to the Hikama stylistic and objective criteria.
  
• The papers that have been revised based on the workshop discussions will undergo a peer-review process.
• The Journal also welcomes critical book review (between 1500 and 3000 words).

Proposals and detailed CVs should be submitted via the ACRPS Researchers’ System.
