Guidelines for Authors

The journal Interventions économiques / Papers in Political Economy is a scholarly journal interested in theoretical debates in political economy and socio-economics, in the evolution and socio-economic transformations of contemporary societies, and in research results conducted in these various fields.

Interventions économiques / Papers in Political Economy presents analyses and research results that may come from all areas of the social sciences but gives priority to themes related to political economy, economic sociology, work and employment, development (local, regional, international), globalization and international political economy, as well as to the analysis of the writings of major authors in these different fields.

The journal publishes articles in French and in English. Articles are evaluated for their scientific quality by two anonymous reviewers (or three in the event of divergent opinions), but the journal also seeks to ensure knowledge transfer through clear and comprehensible articles that make these contributions accessible to socio-economic and political actors.

Each issue is devoted to a specific theme, coordinated by one or more recognized researchers. Each thematic issue includes a general article introducing and presenting the issue, and approximately six (6) in-depth articles. The journal also publishes off-theme articles, essays, interviews with specialists, and reviews of recent books.

Responses to articles published in the journal are not only accepted but also strongly encouraged in order to stimulate debate. The editorial board always grants the final word in a debate to the author of the original article, so that they may respond to the arguments raised against their text.

Editorial Protocol

Articles submitted to the Editorial Committee must be original, not submitted elsewhere, and not previously published in another language. If authors wish to make the published PDF version of the article available online on the IE/PPE website, the journal would like to be informed. Furthermore, if there is a possibility of translation, the journal should also be informed; translations are authorized provided that the original source (IE/PPE) is clearly indicated.

Articles should not exceed 25 pages (including tables, figures, and bibliography), double-spaced (or approximately 50,000 characters), and must be accompanied by the translation of the title, a short abstract of about ten lines in both English and French, and five keywords, also in both English and French.

The author must provide the following information: name, address, phone number, email address, as well as title and institutional affiliation.

Manuscripts are reviewed anonymously by two external readers (or three if there is no agreement between evaluations). Submitted articles should present original research results and demonstrate qualities such as readability and relevance to the general theme of the issue and to the topics generally covered by the journal. Published articles remain the property of the journal.

Peer Review Process

All submitted manuscripts are subject to a double-blind peer review.
Each text is evaluated by two independent external reviewers (a third may be invited in the event of diverging opinions).

  • Average duration of the process: approximately 8 to 12 weeks from the date of receipt of the manuscript.

  • Evaluation criteria: scientific relevance, originality, methodological rigor, clarity of argumentation, and contribution to contemporary debates in political economy.

Please note that the submission of a manuscript does not imply any promise of acceptance.

Decisions (acceptance, revision, or rejection) are communicated by email. Accepted articles are then reviewed and edited by the editorial team before publication.
