The Review of Radical Political Economics welcomes and actively recruits reviews of significant books that are of interest to RRPE readers. Contributors are invited to prepare reviews of books on the following list, which we have received from publishers interested in having reviews appear in the RRPE. Contributors are also welcomed and encouraged to prepare reviews of significant books not on this list but that are of interest to RRPE readers.
The RRPE publishes three different types of reviews:
Reviews of individual books, both books on the following list which have been received from publishers, as well as books not on this list that are related to radical political economics. These reviews should be 1,500–2,000 words in length.
Review essays encompassing three or four books that bring together an important literature in significant areas for political economists. These reviews should be 2,500–3,500 words in length.
Ambitious examinations of bodies of literature that should be better known by RRPE readers. These reviews should also be 2,500–3,500 words in length.
RRPE book reviews are anonymously peer-reviewed by the book review editor and one other member of the Editorial Board.
Please contact the RRPE book review editor, Fletcher Baragar, for assistance in obtaining review copies of books. More detailed instructions will accompany the book when it is sent. Reviews should be submitted within sixty days of receipt of the book. All reviews must follow RRPE’s Submission Guidelines and be submitted online through the RRPE Manuscript Central website, https://journals.sagepub.com/author-instructions/RRP. Please note that the submission process is designed for all types of submissions—please select Book Review/Essay under “Type.” When asked for the “Abstract,” please provide details about title and author of the book(s) under review. You will then also be asked two questions that are required yet not relevant for Book Reviews (namely, JEL codes and Keywords). Responses of “NA” will be your simplest replies to these questions.
