Journal History

EKOPOLIS: Journal of Political Ecology, Social Justice, and Human Rights was established as an academic platform to respond to the growing challenges of ecological crises, social inequality, and human rights issues in contemporary society. The journal was founded with the spirit of integrating scientific research, critical reflection, and public advocacy in one open and accessible scholarly forum.

EKOPOLIS was initiated by a network of academics, researchers, and civil society activists concerned with environmental justice, democratic governance, and the dignity of human life. From its inception, the journal has adopted a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together perspectives from political science, law, sociology, economics, philosophy, anthropology, and media studies to analyze ecological and social problems.

As a fully open-access journal, EKOPOLIS is committed to disseminating knowledge widely and ethically. The journal continues to develop its editorial standards, peer-review system, and digital platform to strengthen its academic reputation while remaining communicative and relevant to the broader public.

Through continuous publication and collaboration, EKOPOLIS aims to become a critical reference in political ecology and human rights studies at national and international levels.
