Abbreviation : J. Political Ecol.
Aims & Scope
Journal of Political Ecology is a peer reviewed journal (ISSN: 1073-0451), one of the longest standing, Gold Open Access journals in the social sciences.
It began in 1994 and welcomes submissions in English, French and Spanish.
We encourage research into the linkages between political economy and human environmental impacts across different locations and academic disciplines.
The approach used in the journal is political ecology, not other fields, and authors should state clearly how their work contributes to, or extends, this approach.
See, for example, the POLLEN network, or the ENTITLE blog.
