The paper should be a product of well-documented original research that is primarily

written for an audience that may have either a general or a specific interest in your topic.
Please define specialized or technical terminology where appropriate.
The paper should not be longer than 7000 words, including all endnotes. It should
consist of a few sections, each with its own heading (as indicated below). There need be
no more than four or five of these. They should describe the paper’s main sections and
give the audience a sense of how the paper is structured.
For spelling, please use British spelling and authors should follow the latest edition of
the Concise Oxford Dictionary. Use 'ize' and 'z' (e.g. 'modernize', 'globalization').
Quotations from foreign languages must be translated in the text, with the original in the
endnote only if necessary.
