Our very own Drs. Adrian Popa and Lazi Topuzova here at Gonzaga U. edit a journal called AUDEM aimed at leadership and democracy around the world.
It is a very strong journal, peer reviewed, and would serve very well on your curriculum vitae if you are planning on teaching at the university level.
If it comes down to you and a couple of other candidates for a teaching position somewhere and you have a publication like this and they do not, the publication really lifts your possibilities and may secure you the position.
So have at it! Any of your major papers may be a decent fit after you have taken a pass at the paper to build it toward this journal and what they are asking for.
Also feel free to contact Adrian or Lazi with any questions.
Thanks!

2013 AUDEM Call for Papers, Volume IV
Call for Papers
The mission of the Alliance of Universities for Democracy is to promote the development of democratic values, civil society, civic engagement, and intercultural understanding through international exchange among institutions of higher education.
The AUDEM Journal is a scholarly, peer‐reviewed journal that focuses on the initiatives and themes related to the organization’s mission. We invite contributions from international scholars from different disciplines working on issues of higher education and the development of democratic values. We encourage submissions of articles grounded in objectivist, interpretive, critical, or other epistemologies. We are committed to diversity of perspectives and encourage submission of articles representing (1) traditional quantitative or qualitative empirical articles, (2) integrative research reviews, (3) theoretical pieces contributing to new theory, and (4) well‐constructed, well‐argued conceptual papers that are thought provoking.
For its fourth volume, AUDEM: The International Journal of Higher Education and
Democracy is focusing on the following broad theme:
Changing Conceptions of the Modern University
We invite contributions on issues related to the challenges universities are facing today as well as on the conceptual and theoretical dimensions of civic engagement. Examples of pertinent questions include: What strategies are universities using for responding to changing national/ global/ international demands and effectively dealing with the proper mission of a university?; what are the defining issues of citizenship in the 21st century?; what are new frameworks for thinking about citizenship in this global era?; how is citizenship or the university mission being expressed in both virtual and face‐to‐face settings?; how do we approach democracy in a more global economic setting; what is the university’s role in civic engagement, service‐learning, and so on; what are challenges for scholars at risk serving in undeveloped democracies; and other viable topics on higher education. AUDEM: The International Journal of Higher Education and Democracy may also consider contributions that focus on other topics or initiatives closely related to higher education and democracy.
