About this journal

Aims and scope

The Review of International Political Economy ( RIPE ) has successfully established itself as a leading international journal dedicated to the systematic exploration of the international political economy from a plurality of perspectives.

The journal encourages a global and interdisciplinary approach across issues and fields of inquiry. It seeks to act as a point of convergence for political economists, international relations scholars, geographers, and sociologists, and is committed to the publication of work that explores such issues as international trade and finance, production and consumption, and global governance and regulation, in conjunction with issues of culture, identity, gender, and ecology.

The journal eschews monolithic perspectives and seeks to publish excellent innovative work that is pluralist in its orientation, engages with the broad literatures of IPE, and combines the very best of both theoretical and empirical new insights.

Peer Review
All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial screening by editors and subsequent double anonymized refereeing by multiple reviewers.
