Introducing Global Political Economy
Global Political Economy is the much-anticipated journal for the discipline of the global political economy.

The journal will encourage debates and discussions across disciplines, spanning economics, political science, geography, business studies, international relations, sociology and more.
Submissions are now open! Read the call for papers to learn more. Don't forget to follow @GPEjournal on Twitter and sign up to the Global Political Economy mailing list for the latest news from the journal.
