Current Issue
SOCIETY REGISTER is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes in English empirical, conceptual, and theoretical articles that make substantial contributions to the field in all areas of social sciences including sociology, economics, political science, psychology, cultural studies, education, and social policy. SOCIETY REGISTER is published in partnership with the Faculty of Sociology at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. The journal has received honorary patronage of Polish Society of Comparative Pedagogy and Sociological Committee of Poznan Society of Friends of Arts and Sciences.
The mission of the Society Register Journal is to publish original works of interest to the social sciences disciplines in general, new theoretical approaches, empirical results of research that advance our understanding of fundamental social processes (and important methodological innovations), together with the practical application of those insights to the resolution of social issues. A key requirement for any author wishing to publish his/her work (be it empirically grounded, or purely theoretically oriented) needs to explicitly reflect upon the necessary underlying assumptions (axioms) and (if applicable) on how exactly a methodology was derived to study a given phenomena within a specific context of changing societies.
Free of charge: we do not charge authors or readers. We believe in a completely free exchange of scientific thoughts.

Participatory Urban Governance Beyond Western Democracies: Motivations, Expressions, and Outcomes
The Special Issue aims to bring together contributions from different geographical, political and economic contexts – from South American cities marked by privatization and spatial fragmentation (Portes & Roberts 2005, Goldfrank & Schrank 2009, Caldeira & Holston 2015, Montero et al 2023), through young Central and Eastern European democracies (Poljak Istenič & Kozina 2020, Paliokaitė & Sadauskaitė 2023) and African countries characterised by increased uncertainty and low levels of trust (Zeiderman 2015, Majogoro et al 2025, Gbeku Alidzi et al 2026) and Southern Asian cities reliant on patronage politics and informal socio-political networks (Chattopadhyay 2015, Hasan Swapan 2016, Patel at al. 2016), to Central and Eastern Asian states defined by the presence of strong central governments (He & Warren 2011, Lin 2026, Knox & Carmichael 2026) and theocratic political systems in the SWANA region (Ali 2025, Komarolya & Sajedi 2026) – in order to critique and contextualise the conceptualisations of participatory urban governance by interrogating the engagement of citizens and other societal actors across different stages of the ‘result chain’ (Emerson & Nabatchi 2015).
