HETERODOX JOURNALS
 
Debatte: Journal of
Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe
Debatte: Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe
seeks to provide a radical critical analysis that is
sympathetic to democratic, labour, feminist and ecologist
movements from contemporary economic, social, cultural and
political perspectives and developments in the region
bounded by Germany in the west and Russia in the east. We
are particularly interested in all writing on the social,
cultural, and political life of Germany and Eastern Europe
which connects the specific problems of the region with the
wider issues of world order, globalisation, and inequality.
We are looking to combine political commitment, academic
rigour, contemporary relevance, stylistic accessibility, and
journalistic flair in order to create the kind of
publication that straddles the boundaries between academia
and social/political debate; addressing itself equally to
specialist scholars in the field of Central European
Studies, political activists, journalists, teachers, and
other interested readers. Debatte, welcomes a variety of
submissions from the social sciences, historical and
cultural studies; all innovative and original analyses of
any aspect of the region falling within the purview of the
journal will be considered. All unsolicited manuscripts
received will be subject to a rigorous peer review process.
We are also interested in features beyond the traditional
fare of academic journals, such as documentation,
interviews, and eyewitness accounts, and will on occasion
translate articles from journals published in the languages
of Central and Eastern Europe which would otherwise not be
available to our English-language readership.

Ecological Economics
The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the
study and management of “nature's household” (ecology) and
“humankind's household” (economics). This integration is
necessary because conceptual and professional isolation have
led to economic and environmental policies which are
mutually destructive rather than reinforcing in the long
term. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and
methodologically open. Specific research areas covered
include: valuation of natural resources, sustainable
agriculture and development, ecologically integrated
technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales
from local to regional to global, implications of
thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource
management and conservation, critical assessments of the
basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological
paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions,
economic and ecological consequences of genetically
engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and
management, alternative principles for valuing natural
wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental
services into national income and wealth accounts, methods
of implementing efficient environmental policies, case
studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony, etc. New
issues in this area are rapidly emerging and will find a
ready forum in Ecological Economics.

International Journal of Public Policy
The IJPP proposes and fosters discussion on public policy
issues facing nation states and national and supranational
organisations, including governments, and how these diverse
groups approach and solve common public policy problems. The
emphasis will be on governance, accountability, the creation
of wealth and wellbeing, and the implications policy choices
have on nation states and their citizens. This perspective
acknowledges that public policy choice and execution is
complex and has ramifications on the welfare of citizens;
and that, despite national differences, the actions of
nation states are constrained by policies determined by
supranational bodies, some of which are not directly
accountable to any international body. The theoretical
approaches welcomed in the IJPP are plural and multifaceted,
however a critical stance is favoured.

International Labor Review
The International Labour Review has been the International
Labour Organization’s (ILO) flagship journal since 1921. As
a global multidisciplinary journal of labour and social
policies and relationships, the new ILR is open to articles
which meet scholarly standards but which are written in a
way that is accessible to a wider readership. They may cover
any of the fields of interest of the ILO – employment and
labour markets, training and skills development, social
security and social protection, labour law and labour
institutions, rights at work and social dialogue. The pages
of the journal are also open to all relevant disciplines –
economics, law, sociology, political science – and articles
taking an interdisciplinary perspective are particularly
welcome. Articles may report on the results of empirical
work at national level or drawing on international
comparisons; they may offer new conceptual frameworks or
review the state of knowledge on key issues. The intention
is to attract contributions from all parts of the world, and
to inform policy debates on key labour and social issues. In
addition to the main articles, a separate section will
contain a small number of reviews of major books, and a new
“Notes, debates and communications” section will report on
recent and upcoming events of interest to the readership,
analyse important recent developments in the world of work,
and provide summaries and access to important documents with
major policy implications for labour and development. As one
of the few journals to come out in English, French and
Spanish, with a worldwide readership, the ILR aims to become
the obvious first choice for publication of high-quality
research by all those concerned with labour and employment.

Journal of Critical Realism
The Journal of Critical Realism (JCR) is the journal of the
International Association for Critical Realism (IACR),
established in 1997 to foster the discussion, propagation
and the development of critical realist approaches to
understanding and changing the world. It provides a forum
for scholars wishing to promote realist emancipatory
philosophy, social theory and science on an
interdisciplinary and international basis, and for those who
wish to engage with such an approach. Material should, as a
rule, be directed at an audience across different
disciplines with a shared interest in critical realism
rather than a specialist disciplinary audience. The journal
publishes articles, review essays, review symposia, book
reviews, debates and postgraduate interventions that relate
in some significant way to critical realist approaches to
understanding and changing the world.

Journal of Development Studies
The Journal of Development Studies was the first and is one
of the best known international journals in the area of
development studies. Since its foundation in 1964, it has
published many seminal articles on development and opened up
many new areas of debate. We invite articles from across
academic disciplines, but priority is given to papers which
are: interdisciplinary, provide critical tests, based on
empirical work, of alternative theories, perspectives or
schools of thought, relevant to important issues in
development economics, politics and policy. The editors also
welcome critical surveys of the literature in important
fields of development policy and practice. Each issue keeps
the reader up-to-date with the latest research and also
contains reviews of recently-published books on development.

Journal of Human Development
Journal of Human Development: A Multi-Disciplinary Journal
for People-Centered Development is a peer reviewed journal
launched in January 2000 to provide new perspectives on
challenges of human development, capability expansion, and
poverty eradication - human well being, markets, growth,
social justice and human rights. The Editors believe that
development is more than about economic growth. It is also
about improving the well being of people, and expanding the
choices and opportunities they have. Development policies
cut across economic, social and political issues. The
journal publishes original work in economics, philosophy,
social sciences and other disciplines that expand concepts,
measurement tools and policy alternatives. It provides a
forum for an open exchange of ideas among a broad spectrum
of policy makers, economists and academics. It addresses
issues at global, national and local levels. Human
development is becoming a 'school of thought' for
alternative economic approaches, and the journal will act as
a conduit for members and critics of this school.

Journal of Institutional Economics
Institutions are the stuff of social and economic life. The
importance of understanding the role of institutions in
economic growth is now widely appreciated. The Journal of
Institutional Economics is devoted to the study of the
nature, role and evolution of institutions in the economy,
including firms, states, markets, money, households and
other vital institutions and organizations. It welcomes
contributions by all schools of thought that can contribute
to our understanding of the features, development and
functions of real world economic institutions and
organizations. The Journal of Institutional Economics is an
interdisciplinary journal that will be of interest to all
academics working in the social sciences, particularly in
economics and business studies. Contributions from politics,
geography, anthropology, sociology and philosophy will also
be welcomed.

Journal of Interdisciplinary Economics
The explosion of information and research that has taken
place in recent years has had a
profound effect upon a variety of existing academic
disciplines giving rise to the dissolution of barriers
between some, mergers between others, and the creation of
entirely new fields of enquiry. The social sciences have not
been immune to the effects of this transformation, but a
great deal of relevant information that has been discovered
in related fields of study that include inter alia
sociology, psychology, history and anthropology, still has
yet to be fully incorporated into the central body of
economic doctrines traditionally taught in colleges and
universities. Economics, as a result, has been shielded from
exciting developments that have occurred in the physical
sciences, philosophy, technology and mathematics. The
Journal of Interdisciplinary Economics is a forum in which
those who wish to expand the boundaries of economic science,
are invited to seek out the hidden assumptions that
determine the conventional economist’s world view, relax
them and so evolve a new discipline more appropriate to the
contemporary global environment within which the discipline
exists, and so enable economists to tackle problems that
have been created within that environment. This process of
rethinking will be encouraged by papers written by those who
wish to contribute, by the editor or members of the
editorial board, and attention will be drawn to neglected
boundary areas and axioms that may not be self-evident.
Papers and comments are also welcomed, again not necessarily
from professional and academic economists, in response to
the papers and comments.

Journal of Socio-Economics
Journal of Socio-Economics is a general economics journal
whose calling card is its methodological open-mindedness and
a strong commitment to economic rigor and economic or
analytical significance as opposed to the simple use of
mathematical proofs and statistical significance. The JSE
welcomes the traditional, more focused, economics research
as well as interdisciplinary discourses that serve to
enhance our understanding of the world in which we live,
recognizing that the economy is an interactive part of a
larger socio-economic structure. With this in mind, the JSE
also welcomes survey articles and suggestions for special
topic issues. The objective of the JSE is to be a forum for
theoretical and empirical research (inclusive of case
studies, experiments and simulation based analyses)
irrespective of its methodological orientation, that
improves our knowledge of the state of the world past and
present as well as enriches our causal understanding of the
economy. In light of these objectives, research with a
public policy orientation and literature reviews are also
welcome. Articles should be written in a manner that is
intelligible to our generalist readership.

New Political Economy
New Political Economy aims to create a forum for work which
combines the breadth of vision which characterised the
classical political economy of the nineteenth century with
the analytical advances of twentieth century social science.
It seeks to build on conceptual innovations, such as
structuration theory, institutional economics and the new
public choice, which have tried to create an integrated
analysis, thereby combining parsimonious theories which
analyse agency in terms of instrumental rationality with
contextual theories which analyse structures institutionally
and historically. The main emphasis will be on exploratory
and innovative work which draws on different disciplines and
addresses core issues in the main constituent elements of
its research agenda, namely: comparative political economy;
the political economy of the environment; the political
economy of development; and international political economy.

Rethinking Marxism: A Journal of Economics, Culture and Society
The aim of Rethinking Marxism is to stimulate interest in
and debate over the explanatory power and social
consequences of Marxian economic, cultural, and social
analysis. To that end, we publish studies that seek to
discuss, elaborate, and/or extend Marxian theory. Our
concerns include theoretical and philosophical
(methodological and epistemological) matters as well as more
concrete empirical analyses - all work that leads to the
further development of distinctively Marxian discourses. We
encourage contributions from people in many disciplines and
from a wide range of perspectives. We are also interested in
expanding the diversity of styles for producing and
presenting Marxian discourses. One distinguishing aim of
this journal is to ensure that class is an important part,
but not the exclusive focus, of Marxism. We are therefore
interested in the complex intersection of class with
economic, political, psychological, and all other social
processes. Equally important is the task of exploring the
philosophical positions that shape Marxian analyses. We are
interested in promoting Marxian approaches to social theory
because we believe that they can and should play an
important role in developing strategies for radical social
change-in particular, for an end to class exploitation and
the various forms of political, cultural, and psychological
oppression (including oppression on the basis of race,
gender, and sexual orientation). We especially welcome
research that explores these and related issues from Marxian
perspectives.

non-specialists. Science & Society does not adhere to any
particular school of contemporary Marxist discussion, and
does not attempt to define precise boundaries for Marxism.

tradition, as well as to cutting-edge tools and concepts
from the present-day social science literatures.

Work Organisation Labour and
Globalisation
The globalisation of world trade in combination with the use
of information and communications technologies is bringing
about a new international division of labour, not just in
manufacturing industry, as in the past, but also in work
involving the processing of information. Organisational
restructuring shatters the unity of the traditional
workplace, both contractually and spatially, dispersing work
across the globe in ever-more attenuated value chains. A new
‘cybertariat’ is in the making, sharing common labour
processes, but working in remote offices and call centres
which may be continents apart and occupying very different
cultural and economic places in local economies. The
implications of this are far-reaching, both for policy and
for scholarship. The dynamics of this new global division of
labour cannot be captured adequately within the framework of
any single academic discipline. On the contrary they can
only be understood in the light of a combination of insights
from fields including political economy, the sociology of
work, organisational theory, economic geography, development
studies, industrial relations, comparative social policy,
communications studies, technology policy and gender
studies. This journal aims to bring together insights from
all these fields to create a single authoritative source of
information on the new global division of labour, combining
theoretical analysis with the results of empirical research
in a way that is accessible both to the research community
and to policy-makers.

how the U.S. economy works by publishing popularly written,
critical articles in an accessible format. We print articles
by journalists, activists, and scholars on a broad range of
topics with an economic theme: the economy, housing, labor,
government regulation, unemployment, the environment, urban
conflict, and activism.

PROTEO
PROTEO, rivista quadrimestrale a carattere scientifico di
analisi delle dinamiche economico-produttive e di politiche
del lavoro, curata dal Centro Studi Trasformazioni Economico
Sociali (CESTES-PROTEO) e dalla Federazione Nazionale delle
Rappresentanze Sindacali di Base (RdB). Il numero 0 è stato
pubblicato nel 1997 e da allora la rivista si pubblica
regolarmente con cadenza quadrimestrale. Ogni numero di
PROTEO si articola in varie rubriche:
Tendenze della competizione globale
Osservatorio sindacale Internazionale
Trasformazioni sociali e sindacato
Osservatorio Meridionale
Teoria e storia del Movimento Operaio
Continente Rebelde
Stato Sociale e Transizione difficile ecc.
Con la rubrica “Il punto, la pratica , il progetto” si
sviluppano tematiche direttamente legate alla “pratica”
quotidiana, dell’intervento politico di CESTES e delle RdB;
inoltre in ogni numero si pubblica una puntata di
un’analisi-inchiesta che diffonde le linee portanti della
propria riflessione scientifico-culturali. Tra le quali:
Processi di privatizzazione in Italia e in Europa
Processi di internazionalizzazione produttiva: il confronto
tra i tre poli USA, UE e Giappone
Le dinamiche dell'internazionalizzazione produttiva italiana
La "Grande controriforma della Pubblica Amministrazione in
Italia
Verso quale federalismo?
Lavoro che cambia. Lavoro che non c’è
Eurobang e diritti
Il movimento dei lavoratori: tra cambiamento e indipendenza
A ogni numero della rivista è allegato un numero di “Nuestra
America”, un bollettino di informazione sull’America Latina
a cura di CESTES-PROTEO.
Scrivono per la rivista molti collaboratori esterni di varie
nazionalità che trattano temi, riguardanti le trasformazioni
economico-produttive, sociali e del mondo del lavoro e sulle
modalità di sviluppo eco-socio-compatibile con analisi
statistico-economiche, di economia applicata e di carattere
giuslavorista.
