Call for Papers for a Special Issue of the GEMRev – Global Economics and Management Review
Innovations in public and private partnerships
Paper submission deadline: December 1, 2014
Guest Editor: Laurie Paarlberg, Texas A&M University (

Global Economics and Management Review (GEMRev) is seeking high quality papers for inclusion in a special edition that focus on innovation and entrepreneurship in public and partnerships. Over the last thirty years, there has been a global trend for governments at all levels to increasingly transfer responsibility for both th e delivery and financing of “public services” to local nongovernmental agencies. As a result, in the 21st century, nongovernmental organizations are at the forefront of many public policy and management innovations that shape local service delivery systems. Nongovernmental organizations are playing new roles in the public policy arena and adopting new management tools, new models of social sector financing, and new collaborative service delivery systems that continue to transform governance and blur the distinction between public and private, and non-profit and for-profit organizations.
For this special edition, GEMRev will accept timely and transformative articles that will promote dialogue about innovations in local governance and their implications for the roles of nongovernmental organizations and their management. This is in line with the emphasis GEMRev puts in systematic, multi-disciplinary research that attempts to bridge sectoral and disciplinary divides. Submissions can include both theoretical and empirical papers that introduce new models or revisit existing ones, or evidence-based studies or replication studies, for instance. Studies should be at the person, organization, or industry level (or any combination of these levels). While far from exhaustive, the following list outlines potential topics that are receiving growing inter- est but remain under theorized and under-researched, and can be included in this Special Issue: social impact bonds and other new forms of social sector funding; pay for performance; collective impact and other collaborative partnership forms; novel uses of social media to organize and raise funds, such as crowd sourcing and virtual organization; and growing interest in increased public participation through community based philanthropy, giving circles, participatory budgeting and other forms of deliberative democracy.

About: Global Economics and Management Review
The GEMRev provides a locus for creating dialogs between disciplines and for a cross-fertilization to happen in the form of journal space guided by editorial norms committed to methodological pluralism. GEMRev aims to become a targeted and desired destination for substantively interesting conversations that break rigid methodological boundaries and abandon subfield-specific jargon to become truly multi- and inter-disciplinary research. GEMRev also welcomes research that challenges scientific orthodoxy, questions longstanding assumptions, and proposes constructive alternatives to widespread beliefs and interpretations. The journal specifically invites empirical studies that fail to support existing theories and replication studies in general. GEMRev is dedicated to quality and is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics. Hence, while encouraging inno- vation and norm-breaking research, the editors expect scientific rigor, intellectual honesty and integrity from authors.
