The Canadian Journal of Development Studies

The Canadian Journal of Development Studies provides an interdisciplinary, bilingual forum for critical research and reflection upon development theory and the complex problems of development policy and practice. The CJDS publishes peer-reviewed articles and review essays, and the journal aims to keep readers informed with commentaries, practical notes and reviews of recently published books on development. The CJDS is international in its outlook and encourages contributions from scholars and practitioners across the world, while, as a Canadian journal, having a particular concern for Canada’s role in international development policy making and practice.

Founded in 1980, the CJDS remains the only Canadian scholarly journal devoted exclusively to the study of international development. The CJDS is published quarterly by the Canadian Association for the Study of International Development, in partnership with Routledge, and the journal is currently edited at the School for International Studies, Simon Fraser University (English) and at the School of International Development and Global Studies, University of Ottawa (French).

The CJDS editorial office is currently relocating from the University of Ottawa to Simon Fraser University. We are pleased to announce that from 2011 the journal will be published by Routledge. In connection with this, we are moving to a new online editorial system and web platform. Please be patient; the new URLs will become available in early 2011.

In the meantime, inquiries about manuscript submissions and reviews, and about book reviews, should be directed to the Administrative Editor at cjds@sfu.ca.
