Aims and scope

China Political Economy focuses on the crucial theoretical and practical problems China faces in the process of reform, transition and development. CPE welcomes papers which explore China's economic transition and development, its differences to western countries and cultures and the influences of China's economy on the wider global economy.

The target audience of the journal are economic scholars, government officials and entrepreneurs that are interested in China's economic problems. The journal serves as a platform for scholars sharing ideas, a reference for governors making decisions and a source for entrepreneurs generating innovative concepts.

The research areas that the journal will focus include China's Economic System Reform, China's Macro-economy, Industrial Organization, Financial and Capital Market, Enterprise Strategies and Behaviours.

China Political Economy  accepts intellectual contributions from both China and the rest of the world. Papers published in this journal will be open-minded, scientific and rational, factual and realistic.To facilitate the dissemination of knowledge across languages, CPE allows for the publication of articles previously published in the Chinese language. 

When submitting a manuscript, authors will be taken to a service called Paperpal Preflight, an AI-driven tool that checks manuscripts against the journal's author guidelines. Authors are free to use or bypass this step and submit directly to ScholarOne.
