Issue focus: Today’s field of communication for social change is at a 
crossroads. Three features are significant in that regard: Firstly, a 
range of new approaches are emerging, fundamentally differing from the 
early approaches that focused on growth and modernization. Today’s 
proposals are inclusive of the diversity in production of knowledge, 
resulting not only in a critique of the dominant paradigm, but 
especially in a growing recognition of other epistemologies. This is 
widely influencing the field and is seen, for example, in indigenous 
knowledge systems gaining greater visibility; it is also seen in the 
theoretical advances linking decolonial thought to the field of 
communication; and we see it in the growing South-South dialogues around 
communication for social change and the broadening of citizenships. 
These are processes that lead to fascinating debates and reflections on 
transnational connections.

Secondly, we live in a time of great challenges in capitalist 
development, where the social cost of systemic injustices is 
increasingly evident and disturbing, and where challenges to subsistence 
are posed by climate change, wars, exclusions, mass migrations and 
technological advances. The role of communication in addressing these 
systemic, societal and sectorial challenges is complex and requires 
in-depth analysis.

Thirdly, the actors involved in communication for social change are 
increasingly diverse. Civil organizations and social movements in all 
their variety which engage with communication for social change, have 
become visible and gained momentum in the constitution of civilizational 
changes at the global level. Analysing the breadth and impact of these 
civil society actors is key to understanding the role of this field in 
practice.
