EXPLORATIONS IN ECONOMIC HISTORY
Scope & Guideline
Advancing Knowledge at the Intersection of Time and Economy
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Historical Economic Analysis:
The journal publishes research that analyzes economic events and trends through a historical lens, providing insights into how past economic practices influence contemporary issues. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
Contributors often employ methodologies from various fields, including economics, history, sociology, and political science, to create comprehensive narratives about economic phenomena. - Focus on Inequality and Social Structures:
Many papers explore themes of inequality—be it economic, racial, or gender-based—highlighting how these structures have evolved and their implications throughout history. - Quantitative and Qualitative Research:
The journal encourages both quantitative analyses, utilizing statistical methods and data mining, and qualitative approaches, such as case studies and historical narratives, to enrich the understanding of economic history. - Global and Comparative Perspectives:
Research often spans multiple geographical contexts, comparing economic histories across different regions and time periods to draw broader conclusions about economic development.
Trending and Emerging
- Economic Inequality and Social Justice:
There is a marked increase in studies examining economic inequality, including racial, gender, and regional disparities, reflecting a growing interest in social justice issues within historical contexts. - Impact of Globalization on Historical Economies:
Recent papers often address the effects of globalization throughout history, analyzing how interconnectedness has shaped economic outcomes across different regions and time periods. - Health Economics and Historical Pandemics:
The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred a rise in research linking health outcomes with economic history, examining how historical pandemics influenced economic structures and societal resilience. - Migration and Economic Change:
Studies focusing on the economic impacts of migration—both voluntary and forced—are increasingly prevalent, exploring how demographic shifts have historically influenced economic landscapes. - Environmental Economics in Historical Context:
Emerging research is beginning to explore the interplay between historical economic practices and environmental outcomes, reflecting a growing recognition of sustainability issues in economic history.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Industrial Economy Studies:
While historical analyses of traditional industries were once prominent, there is a noticeable decline in papers focusing solely on the industrial revolution and its direct economic impacts, as newer themes take precedence. - Exclusively Eurocentric Perspectives:
Research that focuses solely on European economic history without comparative or global contexts is becoming less frequent, as the journal increasingly embraces a more globalized view. - Narrow Focus on Specific Economic Theories:
Earlier publications often centered around specific economic theories (e.g., classical or neoclassical economics). However, the journal has shifted towards a broader integration of various theoretical frameworks, leading to a decrease in strictly theoretical papers. - Limited Case Studies of Singular Events:
Papers that analyze isolated historical events without broader implications or connections to wider economic trends are less common, indicating a shift towards more integrative and comprehensive studies.
