This edition is a step further in the fulfilment of our mandate to publish interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research that is theoretically sophisticated, methodologically rigorous, public interest-focused, and solutions-based. 

You will find in this edition a collection of empirical and theoretical articles on a wide range of topics fostering deep thoughts and engaments with contemporay social science issues.
