The Journal of Third World Economics (JTWE) is a peer-reviewed academic publication dedicated to advancing research on the economic challenges, policies, and development trajectories of low- and middle-income countries. As globalization and geopolitical shifts reshape economic landscapes, the journal provides a critical platform for analyzing structural inequalities, growth models, and sustainable development strategies in the Global South.

JTWE emphasizes empirical, theoretical, and policy-oriented studies that address the unique socio-economic conditions of Third World nations, including poverty, debt, trade imbalances, industrialization, and resource dependency. By fostering dialogue among economists, policymakers, and development practitioners, the journal contributes to equitable and inclusive economic progress.
