For over 40 years, the journal has explored the social sciences in the broadest interdisciplinary sense, in innovative articles from some of the world’s leading sociologists and anthropologists, political scientists, legal theorists, philosophers, economists and other renowned scholars.

In regular issues, and through issues devoted to special themes, Economy and Society covers questions ranging from economic governance to developments in the life sciences and beyond, and publishes major new work on current issues confronting progressive politics throughout Europe and the Americas, Africa, Australasia and the Pacific Rim.

Peer Review Policy:

All articles published in this journal have undergone internal Editorial Board scrutiny as well as anonymous review. Reviews are solicited under a double-blind system of review, and Editorial Board members are actively involved in the reviewing and decision-making process, both reading papers sent for review and considering the referees’ reports received.  Editorial Board meetings are held throughout the year at which Board members discuss the papers and referees’ reports in detail, before coming to a decision on each submission.  The peer review process for Economy & Society is rigorous, thorough and involves a number of scholars. The judgement communicated to an author is the decision of the Editorial Board, and combines feedback from referee reports, Board Members and the Managing Editor.
