Research in Social and Environmental Accounting: Future Directions

Editorial Notes

Abstract

Volume 4 Issue 1 of Issues in Social and 
Environmental Accounting (Issues in 
SEA) heralds social and environmental 
responsibility articles from afar as Japan, 
Indonesia, Malaysia and Canada, sug
gesting, one way or another, the journal 
itself is becoming known around the 
traps as a southern hemisphere forum for 
social and environmental accounting. 
This is a useful thing as commentary on 
these issues seems to be cornered by a 
tight circle of self-referential northern 
hemisphere (and satellite New Zealand/
Eastern Australian old-guard) academ
ics. To sustain and ratchet-up this inter
est, the SEA editorial board needs to 
think over the journal’s future directions 
based on its current strengths.
