About the Journal

Canadian Journal of Critical Challenges (CJCC)

The Canadian Journal of Critical Challenges (CJCC) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to exploring the complex, multi-dimensional crises of the 21st century. CJCC provides a rigorous intellectual space for scholars, practitioners, and innovators to analyze "critical challenges" that defy simple solutions, ranging from geopolitical shifts and economic instability to technological disruption and social inequality.

Our mission is to foster a proactive and interdisciplinary dialogue that moves beyond problem identification toward actionable insights. We welcome original research, policy analysis, and theoretical frameworks that address themes including:

  • Global Security & Geopolitics: Analyzing conflict, diplomacy, and the changing international order.

  • Economic Resilience: Research on sustainable finance, global markets, and wealth disparity.

  • Technological Ethics: The impact of AI, automation, and digital surveillance on human rights and labor.

  • Social Justice & Migration: Critical perspectives on human rights, displaced populations, and systemic inequity.

  • Crisis Management & Policy: Strategies for institutional response to large-scale emergencies and systemic failures.

  • Urbanization & Infrastructure: The challenges of sustainable living in an increasingly crowded world.

By offering immediate open access to all published work, CJCC ensures that critical scholarship on the world’s most urgent issues is accessible to policymakers, activists, and the global academic community.
