This year, the Research Network Sustainable Global Supply Chains will publish the second edition of its Annual Report. This year’s report will focus on the (new) role of geopolitics in global supply chains. We invite researchers working in the field of GVCs, international relations, sustainable development and international economics to submit their ideas for an article to be featured as a Special in this year’s AR. The article’s thematic focus must be connected to the theme of the AR – the role of geo-politics in global supply chains – and the overall theme of the Research Network – sustainability in global supply chains.

You can find the Call for Papers here.
