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 ana-

lyze 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 inter-

national 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.
