About Journal

PCD Journal is an initiative dedicated to advancing high-quality academic research and reports focused on the dynamics of power, conflict, and democracy in the Global South, with particular emphasis on South and Southeast Asia, bearing the registration numbers ISSN 2085-0433 for print and ISSN 2085-0441 for its online edition. The journal prioritizes themes such as rights-based democratic practices, popular representation, and participatory public policy. Recognizing the significant scarcity of scholarly publishers in this region and thematic area—partly attributable to geographic biases in international publishing, PCD Journal aims to address and transform this imbalance. The initiative primarily operates within the social sciences, encompassing subfields including political science, human geography, and political anthropology. We encourage scholars and experts engaged in related topics to contribute their research and insights in a spirit of academic equality. All submissions to PCD Journal undergo a rigorous peer review process conducted by an international panel of academics and specialists.
