About
World Review of Political Economy (WRPE) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed title to be published by Pluto Journals in close association with the Shanghai-based World Association for Political Economy (WAPE), with the first issue having been published in 2010. 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.
In its progressive approach to analyzing the social and economic problems facing humankind, the WRPE reflects the outlook of its founding organization. The World Association for Political Economy, registered in Hong Kong, China, in 2004, is an international nongovernmental academic body founded on an open, non-profit and voluntary basis by left economists and related groups from around the world. The WAPE secretariat is based at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. The present chairman is director of the Center of Economic and Social Development, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Call for Application and Recommendation of Important International Works on Left-Wing Humanities and Social Sciences for Chinese Translation and Publication
The Social Sciences Academic Press, belonging to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, plans to translate 30 influential international left-wing monographs, except proceedings, in the humanities and social sciences into Chinese, and publish them in China. The topics of the monographs could cover the entire humanities and social sciences fields. The monographs should be published after the year 2000 in English, Russian, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Korean only. The compilation committee, headed by Professor Enfu Cheng in the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, is responsible for the selection. Applicants and referees please write a synopsis of the book with at least 2,000 words about its innovative points and main academic values, and a 300-word-introduction to each author of the book. We prefer the books which have not been published in Chinese before. All the active participations and recommendations from international scholars and publishing houses are cordially welcome!
If you are interested in this project, please send the electronic introductions mentioned above to yihengcao@ssap.cn and pearlw@126.com by email at the same time. The deadline for recommendation is March 1, 2020.
