Constitutional Political Economy (CPE)
Journal Descriptions
Constitutional Political Economy is an international, peer-reviewed academic journal that explores the interplay between constitutional rules and economic behavior. Grounded in economics but inherently interdisciplinary, it integrates perspectives from political science, law, philosophy, and institutional theory to analyze how constitutional frameworks shape public policies, institutions, and governance outcomes. The journal publishes theoretical and empirical research on topics such as constitutional design, public choice theory, institutional change, legal-economic interaction, and the economic effects of political and legal structures. Since its establishment in 1990, the journal has provided a leading forum for scholars interested in the systematic analysis of rules and institutions — particularly how constitutions and legal constraints influence collective decision-making, economic performance, and societal welfare. Constitutional Political Economy typically appears quarterly, with each issue containing original research articles that contribute to deeper understanding of constitutional economics, public policy implications, and normative debates on institutional efficiency and legitimacy. Its hybrid publishing model supports both traditional subscription access and open-access options for authors.
