PPExchanges - Progress in Political Economy (PPE)

The Progress in Political Economy (PPE) blog launches here a forum to showcase state-of-art commentaries by authors on their own research agendas and how the scholarship that they have produced specifically advances our understanding of political economy.

With PPExchanges the aim is twofold. First, to articulate a platform that can deliver a deeper account of a research theme over a 10 minute read. Second, to engage both student and specialist audiences in a dialogical form that frames the commentaries. Hence the notion of this forum on PPE to act as an “exchange”. PPExchanges.

To launch the PPExchanges forum we are commissioning contributions. At the same time, we welcome receiving unsolicited submissions by scholars seeking to advance the aim of the forum.
