Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Economies have endured a number of emergencies in the previous decade, ranging from natural disasters such as droughts, earthquakes, and floods to radicalism and people opposing the law. The other unfavorable circumstances for some societies are related to wars such as the current war in Ukraine. Populations have been incidentally relocated, with females, children, the old, and disabled being influenced in particular (McCarthy et al., 2022). Inside this specific circumstance, the national and international strategies for improving the conditions and empowerment of refugees, the relegated, and poor, including improving sexual harassment, acid crimes, and the women job quota, among others, especially as related to the challenges of a globalized market in the modern world (Heath and Demireva, 2014; Muttarak, 2014). These people are unable to gain awareness and support in multifaceted emergencies, and this has affected the growth of civil society organization. Civil society is the main concern in the enforcement and progress of social, political, and economic strategy (Sosa, 2021).
The idea of a common society for the development of leadership in social constructions in more certain terms maintains voluntarism opportunities and offers females, regardless of their policy, protection level, or culture, an equivalent opportunity to make their own selves (Eze-Usher, 2022). With this change, leadership in social reconstruction is required for planning and practical implementation. Its outcomes are identifiable with the standardization of responsive anticipating females in disaster and emergency situations and the insurance of the privileges of females and the improvement of their leadership abilities. In the light of significance, there is an essential need to improve flexibility to disasters, emergencies, and external shocks; reinforcing supervision and social attachment; and upgrading social equity (Iman et al., 2022). In this sense, this research covers the new vision of the leadership in designing and implementing projects for social reconstruction. It has outcomes within context: the establishment of an institute for gender-receptive planning in crises and disasters for human right protections and to grow their leadership capacities.
This collective research project stimulates researchers, practitioners, professionals, and scholars to join this research stream by presenting novel publications. It encourages authors to submit different types of research articles based on advanced methodologies under the theme of social reconstruction. Along with it, this research effort has the objective of contributing high-quality work that is empirically innovative and constructive for readers. The purpose of this Special Issue is to reinforce the importance of leadership in strengthening the social responsibility of sustainability. The novelty of this volume refers to the fact that the expected studies refer to the contributions of leadership to social reconstruction using the principles of sustainability as well as the 17 global objectives of sustainability and their related targets.
