SPECIAL ISSUE

Cooperatives in Times of Conflict and War: Robustness, Resilience, and Recovery

 

JEOD has launched a call for papers focused on the role of cooperatives during conflict and war. This special issue invites theoretical, empirical, and practical contributions on cooperative resilience, including maintaining production, coping with displacement, safeguarding assets, and ensuring community well-being. Other key topics include post-conflict reconstruction, social cohesion, and the role of women’s cooperatives. The call encourages case studies on Ukraine and other affected regions worldwide. The deadline for submitting extended abstracts is the 10th of January 2027, with the publication of the special issue expected in June 2028.

 

The Journal of Entrepreneurial and Organizational Diversity (JEOD) deepens and expands the study of different enterprise types and organizational models, including (but not limited to) for-profit businesses, social enterprises, cooperatives, mutuals, nonprofit organizations and foundations. It places strong emphasis on their institutional and socio-economic contexts, as well as on their organizational features, practices, stakeholders and the development of communities and localities. JEOD also welcomes comparative research between different organizations and enterprise types, including different ownership and governance models, corporate social responsibility and network types. To this end, JEOD publishes full-length research articles, as well as book reviews, research proceedings and conference letters.
