Further Guidelines to Consider:

• We encourage that the Abstract and Keywords be typed in Garamond font, size 10, with 1.0 line spacing, and in italic typography.
• Authors are expected to provide their personal information, including full name, affiliated organization/institution (such as department, research centre/study group, and university), contact telephone number, and email address for the Editor on the manuscript submission page.
• The structure of the article should be clearly outlined in four main sections, as follows:
• Introduction:

o     Includes at least the general background, problem statement (derived from the disparity between reality/empirical conditions and ideal conditions), research gap (derived from a literature review of previous studies on the topic), research questions, the author's main arguments, and the purpose of writing the article.

• Analytical Framework:

o     Contains the conceptual approach/perspective that will be used to analyse the case or topic under discussion. The term "analytical framework" can be adjusted or replaced with concepts/terminologies that reflects the conceptual framework being used.

• Discussion:

o     Presents an analysis of the case/topic under discussion based on the established analytical framework. The subsections within the discussion should be organized according to the elements/components/variables in the analytical framework. Authors may also include independent/separate sections to address topics that cannot be incorporated into other subsections. In this section, authors should clearly provide answers to the questions posed in the Introduction.

• Conclusion:

o     The conclusion section should not contain repetition or excerpts from the discussion section. It restates the problem of the case/topic, the author's arguments, and the author's findings in a concise and compact manner. Additionally, authors are required to provide recommendations or policy suggestions regarding the discussed case/topic.
