Call for Papers - Special thematic issue of the ICPE journal Public Enterprise: Integrated Management of Protected Nature Areas

ICPE’s quarterly, International Journal of Public Enterprise, was being published for over 30 years with a large international exchange with publications of the UN agencies, World Bank, ILO, UNEP, CIDA of Canada, UNIDO, and SIDA of Sweden.

The thematic issue on Integrated Management of Protected Nature Areas will be prepared in cooperation with the Association of Nature Parks of the Republic of Slovenia. It means a continuation of ICPE’s long-term efforts focused to the principle of sustainable development (e.g. research and educational work on the project of Integrated Coastal Management, 1990s; International Conference on Integrated Environmental Management of the Adriatic/Mediterranean Black Sea Coastal Areas and the Danube/Sava River Basins, November 2010; conference on Management of protected nature areas: the example of Nature Park Goričko, May 2011). The thematic issue explores from a comparative and international perspective the directions for orientation and management of nature parks and protected areas, in order for them to serve the interests of local population and at the same time to widely promote the principles of sustainable development on national and global levels.

The Call for Papers, which can be downloaded here, is open to ICPE member states, as well as non-member states, international organisations, and individual experts.
