About this journal

Aims and scope

The Review of Social Economy aims to promote interdisciplinary perspectives on economic behaviour, institutions and outcomes at both micro and systemic levels, and to strengthen the connections between economics and related disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, including philosophy, political science, and sociology.

It seeks to provide a genuinely interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of such topics as the cognitive and normative influences on economic behaviour, institutions and outcomes; the embeddedness of economic action in social and political relations and structures; the influence of economic structures on social and political behaviour; and the principles of economic governance and organization and their relation with social and political factors.

Theoretical and empirical inquiries, from a variety of methodological approaches, on the following topics are of particular interest:

  • the relation between economics and ethical principles,
  • the economic, ethical, and social implications of social policy, and
  • economic factors related to social issues such as development, globalisation, consumerism, well-being, socio-economic insecurity, poverty, inequality, discrimination, power, and the environment.


Papers that make social policy contributions and applied analyses focusing on specific countries are also welcome, but only if they make general conceptual, theoretical, empirical or methodological contributions.

Contributors are strongly encouraged to use a style that is accessible to a broad, interdisciplinary audience. Scholars using more specialized languages and techniques should make their arguments and results more widely accessible.

Editorial Policy:
The Review of Social Economy is committed to no methodological or theoretical orthodoxy and evaluates submissions fitting its aim and scope based on the normal canons of scholarship, including the novelty and relevance of the contribution and the clarity and rigour of the arguments.
