ABOUT - Mobilizing communication globally: for what and for whom? This question motivated this special issue of Nordicom Review, grounded in a concern over the future of communication for development as a field of theorization and research tightly linked to practice the world over. The strengths of the field lie in those approaches concerned with power, human rights and social justice. This special issue, a cooperation between Nordicom Review and Glocal Times, contains critical contributions that address the relationship between communication, development and social change beyond so called ‘success stories’.
