New issue of the Journal of Governance and Regulation
The editorial team of Virtus Interpress is honoured to release a new issue of the Journal of Governance and Regulation. The issue comprises papers from Italy, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Jordan, Kuwait, South Africa, and other countries of the world.
This issue brings together a wide range of academic studies that collectively reflect the growing complexity and interdisciplinary nature of governance and economic research. The diversity of topics and methods — from empirical and exploratory analyses to advanced quantitative models and systematic literature reviews — illustrates how governance, performance, and sustainability remain at the core of contemporary inquiry. Together, these studies capture the dynamic interplay between governance, finance, ethics, and public policy. They highlight that sound governance — whether in private enterprises, public institutions, or non-profit organizations — remains the foundation for transparency, innovation, and sustainable growth.
