International Journal of Current Aspects

This issue of the International Journal of Current Aspects in Business, Economics, and Finance invites scholarly contributions that examine the evolving relationships between society, governance systems, and institutional change. As nations across Africa and the developing world navigate rapid social transformation, shifting political landscapes, and reform-driven policy environments, there is a growing need for rigorous, evidence-based research that interrogates how governance structures respond to — and shape — societal change.

This issue welcomes original empirical studies, theoretical papers, and critical reviews addressing themes including but not limited to:

• Public sector governance, accountability, and institutional reform
• Political systems, devolution, and public administration
• Social policy, welfare systems, and community development
• Gender, equity, and inclusion in governance and society
• Civil society, public participation, and democratic processes
• Education, curriculum, and policy-practice gaps
• Urbanization, migration, and demographic change
• Conflict, security, and peacebuilding
• Public sector ethics, corruption, and integrity systems
• Technology, digital governance, and e-government

Contributions grounded in African and other Global South contexts are particularly encouraged, though comparative and cross-national studies are equally welcome. Papers should demonstrate methodological rigor, clear theoretical grounding, and practical relevance to policymakers, practitioners, and scholars working at the intersection of social sciences and governance.
