Pressure and Possibility

Today’s world presents pressure on multiple fronts simultaneously: a warming climate, economic precarity, strained public services, fragile democracies, and rapid technological change. Pressure can do more than hold things back. It can also reveal parts where institutions fail, bring unanswered questions into the open, and create new ideas. Whether pressure is a crisis or opportunity is often unclear in social policy. How we answer this depends on who holds power, whose voice is heard, and whose futures become a reality.

In its third volume, the Trinity Policy Journal invites contributions that analyse the relationship between pressure and possibility: how systems respond to conflict, where resistance emerges and mobilisation occurs, and what forms of change are possible. We encourage submissions from all disciplines and across global contexts.
