Abstract

The section “Political Economy”, which is supported by the ECPR Standing Group on Political Economy, invites contributions from all subfields of political economy, especially comparative and international political economy. Thematically, the section is interested in research about the interrelationship between the spheres of politics and economics, both at the domestic and the international level. A core question the section seeks to investigate is how political and economic actors and institutions affect political and economic processes, institutions, and outcomes. Potential topics for papers in this section therefore include, but are not limited to, the political economy of welfare states and redistribution, the international political economy of trade and finance, the political economy of development, and the political economy of crises and stability. We are interested in contributions using both formal and non-formal theoretical approaches, as well as both quantitative and qualitative research methods, which show how economics and politics influence each other. In addition to theoretically guided empirical research, we also welcome submissions that focus on predominantly theoretical or methodological advancements in the field. Since the section covers an inherently interdisciplinary topic, we also aim at facilitating scholarly exchange among political scientists with related academic disciplines.
