Special Issue On: “Sustainable Development in Emerging Economies”
Guest Editor: Dr. Mustafa Zihni TUNCA
Introduction
Sustainable development is an important social objective in the world.
Many obstacles oppose the implementation of sustainable development in
developing countries. Approaching these issues that are the greatest
challenges for implementing sustainable development in these countries
can lead to a better understanding of how these issues can be
addressed.
Emerging economies, which are the developing countries in the process
of rapid growth and industrialization, inevitably play a significant
role towards the achievement of sustainable development. A close look
at socio-economic, technological, and political changes in emerging
economies can help us for a better understanding of the dynamics of
sustainable development.
One of the major challenges facing emerging economies in their efforts
to promote sustainable development is the expansion of information
technologies (IT). IT is the key concept for sustainable economic
development within both macro and micro perspectives as it can assist
in addressing individual, organizational, regional, and global
development. Hence, there is an imperative need for an in-depth,
systematical investigation of the influence of information
technologies on sustainable economic development in emerging
economies.
Objective of the Special Issue
The objective of the special issues is to help both researchers and
practitioners to develop a critical understanding of sustainable
development in emerging economies with a special reference to
information technologies. The special issue will bring together work
from a range of disciplines to promote a multi-disciplinary
perspective to develop practical and theoretical solutions to improve
the economic, social, environmental, technological, educational, and
administrative sustainability.
