Progressive Economics: Reclaiming economics for all people everywhere, other species ,nature, the planet, and its systems
About the Academic Journal Green Economics World Policy GEWP addresses all aspects of Green Economics, aiming to encourage economic change and positioning Green Economics at the centre of the Economics disciplines and world policy. Green Economic theories, policies, tools, instruments and metrics are developed to facilitate a change to the current economic models and policy making for the benefit of the widest number of people and the planet as a whole. GEWP focuses particularly on resource management, international politics and policy-making, meeting peoples' needs and inequity, political power structures and relations and the impact and effects of international trends and how to increase social and environmental justice. Objectives The objectives of GEWP are to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, government agencies, academic and research institutions concerned with the running, involvement and global impact of the economy on all sections of society and the environment. It aims to bridge the gap between academic economic theory and the literature and suggestions for the implementation of modern concepts in the political economy and the general economic debate, structures of political power and public discussion. The development of an alternative view in contrast to the traditional normatively biased view of economics, narrow mainstream politics and policy making is the prime objective. The study of Green Economics naturally has to be very multi and interdisciplinary in nature, as the problems it addresses are partly social in aspect and causes, partly scientific in technical development, partly environmental as this is a fundamental limit to all human activity and partly economic and historical in how the current situations have evolved. Green Economics is also particularly influenced by developments in ethical thinking and values and in anthropology in its explanations of past and future trends. The advisory board consists of a host of academics and practitioners, government members, policy makers and campaigners from around the world in order to meet the demands and the wide scope of the subject. Readership GEWP provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers, policy makers and campaigners working in the fields of international business, economics and local, regional and national government to educate, influence, lobby and share information and to learn from each others’ work and best practice in the field as well as to provide a forum to explore new solutions to economic problems and global policy concerns.
