Since 1974, Papers in Political Economy-Cahiers d’Économie Politique (PPE) have published and participated to the main theoretical discussions by paying a particular to the historical aspects of economic analysis. Considering that the study of past authors and contemporary debates are complementary, the PPE publish papers on history of economic thought, economic philosophy, or papers overlapping fields of history of economic thought and contemporary economic theory or economic history. Papers in Political Economy is a biannual journal, usually published in June and December. One of the two yearly issues is thematic and includes papers presented at a workshop or conference and selected among responses to an open call for papers. For proceedings to be published in this form, conference organizers are invited to contact the journal’s editorial board at a very early stage.

PPE also publishes book reviews. Proposals for book reviews can be submitted to the editorial board, and are refereed by the board or by an anonymous peer referee. For details, see ‘publication conditions’.

PPE is referenced in: IBSS, RePEc, JEL, Econlit (Full text) and Cabell's Directories under the french  title: Cahiers d'Économie Politique.

Cahiers’ Collection:

For thirty-five years, the PPE have promoted the study of past economists as a means to shed light on today’s theoretical debates. To achieve this, a Collection has been set up to make available texts that have always remained unpublished or that are currently out of print. Proposals of publication in the Collection should be sent to: arnaud.orain@univ-paris8.fr
