Call for Papers (Journals)

Established in 2006, CSPS aims to function as the premier, independent policy research think-tank in Brunei Darussalam. In addition, CSPS aims to play an important role in disseminating new research-driven knowledge and perspectives on policy-related issues, and in promoting open discussions as a foundation for effective governance.
Currently, Brunei is in the midst of pursuing a bold 30-year development plan called the Brunei Darussalam Long Term Development Plan which aims to place the country in the top ten globally in terms of quality of life and income per capita (Brunei Wawasan or Vision 2035). In order to achieve our Wawasan 2035, we recognise that there is a need to diversify our economy away from the oil and gas sector. Economic diversification, and finding viable strategies to broaden our economic base, is therefore one of the most pressing policy concerns for Brunei.
This international and interdisciplinary journal aims at encouraging research in policy-related matters devoted to subjects on social and economic development, policy planning and sustainable development, and in making a real contribution to policy debate in Brunei Darussalam and thus assist in good policy formulation for the country. Coverage includes, but is not limited, to policy and strategy studies on the following:
31 July 2011 - Submission of full papers
October 2011 - Notification of acceptance
November 2011 - Submission of camera-ready papers
December 2011 - Publication of CSPS Journal Volume 3
Submissions should be around 4000 to 6000 words. A title of no more than eight words should be provided. Articles should be supplied in Word format. All authors' details must be printed on the front sheet and authors should not be identified anywhere else in the article.
