Journal of Political Ecology

The Journal of Political Ecology (JPE) is a peer reviewed, platinum Open Access journal in the social sciences. Articles must be situated in, or contribute to, political ecology. JPE publishes research into the linkages between political economy and human environmental impacts, across different locations and academic disciplines.

This is of course a broad field, but it uses tools drawn from political economy, multi-scalar analysis of environmental issues and ecologies, access to resources (e.g. by race, gender, status, wealth), environmental and social justice, feminist, materialist and intersectional theories, and studies of vulnerability and disadvantage. Articles may provide political ecology case studies, extend the field into new areas, or critique it with adequate justification.
