Forum for Social Economics (FSE)
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/rfse

The Forum for Social Economics (FSE) is an international academic journal and is a publication of the Association for Social Economics (ASE). Founded in 1971, the primary focus of the Forum is on applying social-economic analysis to policy relevant issues and/or on the implications of alternative policy perspectives encompassing the social economy. The Forum is a pluralistic journal publishing work that addresses economic issues within wider theoretical, methodological, and ethical, as well as institutional, cultural or natural environmental contexts. It contributes to cutting-edge discussions on the perspectives, theory, and methods of modern realistic and complexity economics, that is, social economics in a broad sense. The Forum, therefore, also is sympathetic to papers that transcend established disciplinary boundaries. Papers should make a contribution to past or current socioeconomic issues that have contemporary relevance to economists, social scientists, policy makers and public administration, employees and their representatives, NGOs, and business representatives.The journal welcomes stimulating original articles that are clearly written, draw upon real-world problems and relate to contemporary policy issues if possible. Also non-technical articles of topical, historical and ethical interest that will appeal to a wide range of readers are welcome. The journal is also interested in serving as an avenue for issues regarding teaching economics, in particular teaching approaches to social and heterodox economics, as well as fostering pluralism in modern economics. The Forum invites original regular academic papers as well as short papers, notes, discussions, reviews and literature surveys. The Forum also invites young scholars and graduate students to submit their research papers.
