It’s an honor to be named a member of the editorial board of The Japanese Political Economy, a journal edited by Nobuharu Yokokawa. The journal has a long history in Japan, dating to 1972 when it was called Japanese Economic Studies. The Editorial Board brings together some great people, including Diane Elson, David Harvey, and Makoto Itoh (among others). Here’s a short quote from the website detailing the scope and aims of the journal:

Japan is an important laboratory for developing and debating ideas about capitalism and its dynamics. The Japanese Political Economy approaches the study of political economy and Japanese economy and its international relations. The journal is a resource for scholars, students, policymakers and practitioners who seek to better understand the contemporary and historical, transnational and internal processes of change in the Japanese and wider Asian economy. It publishes a broad range of scholarship that draws from multiple theoretical, empirical and methodological perspectives.

JPE organizes yearly workshops. I found these to be some of the most stimulating academic gatherings. In 2018, I interviewed Saskia Sassen at the workshop. You can listen to our conversation here. If you write on political economy please do consider submitting to the journal!
