            WAPE Membership Information

            World Association for Political Economy: A Membership Organization

            What the World Association for Political Economy (WAPE) Stands for

            The aim of WAPE is to unite Marxist economists of the world to work together, to develop Marxist Political Economy and strengthen the influence of Marxist Political Economy in the world across all language and cultural boundaries.

            In practice, this means: to help each other to utilize modern Marxist economics, to analyze and study the world economy, reveal its dynamics of development, and offer policies to promote economic and social progress at the national and global level.

            Why Membership

            The inspiration for WAPE originates from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS). WAPE’s Chairman Enfu Cheng and its Secretary General Xiaoqin Ding are based in CASS and the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. Its vice-chairmen and council members come from across the globe.

            Membership of WAPE presents the opportunity for intellectuals to reach out to each other, across the divide of language and geography around the dynamics of Political Economy.

            WAPE has decided to develop itself as a membership organization in order to facilitate this exchange of knowledge, new thought and research, and offer its members access to certain benefits.

            The benefits of WAPE membership include:

            • Free digital copies of the organization’s well-respected peer-reviewed academic journal, World Review of Political Economy (WRPE), which is published four times a year.

            • Publishing of members’ selected articles in WRPE and on our websites.

            • Translation of selected books and articles into Chinese and publishing them in China.

            • Invitations to attend a variety of conferences in China.

            • Scholars who are members may be invited to China on a lecture tour.

            • Members will be invited to join panels, which WAPE will organize for various international conferences held in different countries. For example, in July 2012, WAPE assembled ten panels for the conference held in Paris organized by the French Association for Political Economy.

            This is a major new development, which we hope will make WAPE a global organization bringing together Political Economists from many countries.

            Membership of WAPE is only US$30 per year. Membership for WAPE council members or members preferring to receive hard copies of WRPE is US$100 per year.

            How to Join

            Please apply for membership via membersupport@plutojournals.com

            What makes WAPE unique is that not only does the initiative originate from China, but also WAPE membership offers connections in various forms with Chinese scholars, as well as with scholars from around the globe.

            We look forward to welcoming our new members.
