Research in Political Economy

Research in Political Economy (RPE) is a leading book series dedicated to exploring the role of class in shaping economic and political structures worldwide. Since its inception in 1977, RPE has played a pivotal role in advancing scientific Marxist scholarship and fostering critical perspectives often absent from mainstream publications.

This internationally focused series publishes rigorous theoretical and empirical research that examines the intersection of economics and politics. RPE serves as an essential forum for radical scholarship, bringing together significant contributions that challenge conventional wisdom and offer fresh insights into contemporary and historical social dynamics. While rooted in class analysis, the series welcomes diverse perspectives, including those that are not explicitly Marxist.

Designed for academics, researchers, and students engaged in political economy, RPE provides a valuable resource for those seeking in-depth analyses of global economic and political issues. By uniting economic and political inquiry, the series continues to shape critical debates and advance scholarly understanding of class and society.
