Economic and Political Studies

Journal overview

With a notable focus on China, Economic and Political Studies aims to disseminate significant theoretical, analytical, and empirical research on political-economic phenomena in China (or relevant to China) that have wider implications for international political economic studies. EPS encourages solid research findings that may pose challenges to and even revise the existing theories and methodologies. It welcomes original research articles that analyse the role of economic and political institutions, and consider China’s interaction with the world.

Contributions are invited from the international community of researchers in political economy, economics, political science, Chinese studies and related disciplines. Themed review articles, especially for research work in the Chinese language will also be published in order to promote the academic dialogue.

Peer Review Policy
EPS is a peer-reviewed journal. All submissions undergo rigorous double anonymized review, based on initial editor screening, by no less than two anonymous referees. Submission is online via [email protected].

These impartial reviewers are charged with carefully evaluating the quality of the submitted manuscript;
They check the manuscript for accuracy and assess the validity of the research methodology and approaches;
If appropriate, they suggest revisions;
If they find the article lacking in scholarly validity and rigor, they reject it. EPS will not publish articles that fail to meet the academic standards established for a given discipline.

We aim to complete the review process within six to ten weeks although some papers may take longer.
