This special issue invites papers on a wide range of topics from business and economic perspectives. We particularly welcome submissions primarily focusing on the Russia-Ukraine war. JCEBS fully endorses UK universities’ statement on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and would like to publish papers exploring wars’ consequences, such as the worldwide energy crisis, high and rising inflation, economic institutions, resilience after major conflicts or wars, and the welfare (and/or well-being) of refugees, humanitarian crises, among others. Although it seems early to evaluate the war’s consequences, economists have been estimating significant damages to the global economy and discussing sanctions and embargo on Russia’s economy. These uncertainties could impose some potential threats on global security and political institutions from the economic lens.
This special issue welcomes submissions in the following areas but not limited to:
- Historical, political, and socio-economic legacies related to wars and conflicts.
- The origins of current conflicts, wars, and economic sanctions.
- Global trade and agriculture - The crisis of supply and demand related to wars and sanctions.
- Capital and trading flows under sanctions.
- The use of payment systems and other financial resources as the tools of wars.
- A rapid transition from traditional payment types to digital currencies to avoid sanctions.
- Damages and fragility on financial markets (equities, commodities, exchange rates, etc).
