The World Review of Political Economy (WRPE) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed title published by Pluto Journals in close association with the Shanghai-based World Association for Political Economy (WAPE). This groundbreaking project is the first of its kind: a pioneering collaboration between Chinese academics and a Western left publisher to produce a serious periodical of Marxist political economy. The WRPE is certain to be the essential forum for dialogue, cooperation, debate, and the sharing of cutting-edge research among the leading scholars in China, the English-speaking world, and beyond.
The World Review of Political Economy (WRPE) is a peer-reviewed journal of the World Association for Political Economy, published by Pluto Journals. WRPE has been indexed in ESCI (Emerging Sources Citation Index, an edition of web of Science) since 2015 and Scopus since 2018.
