About this journal

Aims and scope

The Review of Political Economy is a double anonymized peer-reviewed journal welcoming constructive and critical contributions in all areas of political economy, including Behavioural economics, Ecological economics, Feminist economics, Institutional economics, Kaleckian economics, Marxian economics, Polanyian economics, Post-Keynesian economics, Schumpeterian economics, Sraffian economics, as well as in the tradition of the theory of the Monetary Circuit. ROPE also encourages submissions in Agent-based modelling and the Stock-flow consistent approach. The Review publishes both theoretical and empirical research, and is also open to submissions in methodology, economic history and the history of economic thought that cast light on issues of contemporary relevance in political economy. Comments on articles published in the Review are encouraged.

Peer Review Policy:
All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two anonymous referees.

  Symposiums 

The Review of Political Economy welcomes submissions of Symposium ideas that fall within the scope of the journal (see above). Symposium proposals can be sent to either Sylvio Kappes, Maria Cristina Barbieri Goes or Louis-Philippe Rochon, and they must conform to the following rules:

  • All Symposiums must have an open Call for Papers. This call can be open only to scholars presenting at a specific conference/workshop, for instance, or addressed to the larger community. If the latter, call for papers will be published on the journal's webpage and must be promoted on social media websites to attract the greatest number of submissions;
  • All papers must be submitted through the ScholarOne system, and they will follow the standard double-blind peer-review process;
  • Decisions on individual papers will be made only when referees reports on all submitted papers have been received;
  • Submission of a paper to a Symposium is not a guarantee of publication. After receiving all reviews, papers should be ranked, and a certain percentage of submissions might be rejected, following ROPE's standard processes. It is expected that a 50% rejection rate (including desk rejections) could apply.
