About This Journal

The Journal of Global Political Economy is a Taylor & Francis Academic publication dedicated to interdisciplinary research at the intersection of economics, political science, and international relations. The journal examines the political drivers of economic outcomes and the economic bases of political phenomena at the global scale. It is particularly interested in questions of power, inequality, and governance in the global economy, and welcomes both mainstream and critical political economy perspectives.

Aims & Scope

The journal publishes research on the political economy of the global system:

• International trade and investment: trade politics, multinational corporations, and global value chains
• International finance: currency politics, financial crises, and global financial governance
• Development and underdevelopment: dependency theory, structural adjustment, and the politics of aid
• The state and markets: industrial policy, varieties of capitalism, and developmental states
• Global governance: international institutions, multilateralism, and global public goods
• Inequality and distribution: global inequality, labour standards, and social policy in open economies
• Natural resources and extractivism: resource curse, commodity markets, and resource nationalism
• Environmental political economy: climate politics, green transitions, and the political economy of energy
• Technology and the global economy: digital trade, intellectual property, and the platform economy

Critical, heterodox, and post-colonial political economy perspectives are explicitly welcomed alongside mainstream approaches.
