Cambridge Political Economy Society

The Cambridge Political Economy Society, founded in the 1970s, aims to advance the education of the public in political economy and related matters, and to promote research in matters pertaining to political economy and to publish the useful results of such research. To this end the Society publishes the Cambridge Journal of Economics, the Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society and Contributions to Political Economy.

In 1985 the Society established the Cambridge Political Economy Society Trust, a charitable Trust which works to further these aims by providing funding for a variety of projects. More information about the Trust and the types of funding it provides is available here.


The Editors of the Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society are delighted to announce that our inaugural Best Paper Award has been given to Prof David Bieri for his paper Schumpeter’s Gesetz and Gestalt in space: exploring evolutionary economic geographies of money and finance, published in the Special Issue on Re-Imagining Evolutionary Economic Geography. Congratulations to a very worthy winner.
