/Research in Political Economy/invites submissions of papers for the Volume 32 (publication date: 2017) under the theme of ‘*Return of Marxian Macro-dynamics in East Asia’*.
The economic growth in East Asia has been believed to be the model case of the triumph of capitalism. Some progressive economists, for example, the developmental state theorists, also praised the East Asian model as the progressive alternatives to neoliberal market fundamentalism, arguing that they are the outcomes of state-led development.
However, with the sudden advent of ‘Lost Decade of Japan’ in the 1990s, and the ensuing ‘IMF Crisis’ of South Korea in 1997, and now the imminent ‘hard landing’ of the Chinese economy, the East Asian ‘miracle’ story seems to be a thing of the past. East Asia now became an epicenter of the contradictions and crisis of global capitalism. Today, deepening economic crisis, exacerbation of social polarization, rising popular discontents, and escalating geopolitical tensions are common to China, Japan and Korea. Moreover, East Asia (especially China) has been at the center of global ecological contradictions. Indeed, East Asia now became the typical place of Marxian macro-dynamics. Although ‘miracle’ stories of East Asia are still on sale by the developmental state theorists as well as mainstream ideologues, it is obvious that their audience substantially shrank. Instead, critiques of and resistances to capitalism rapidly proliferate in East Asia.
With the deepening contradictions of capitalism, interests in anti-capitalism and Marxism began to revive in East Asia after long period of marginalization under ‘miracle’ regimes. Also, as it became clear that the export-led or investment-led growth model, which has sustained the ‘miracles’ in East Asia, no longer functions, some progressive economists are now trying to find new alternative in the Keynesian wage-led or income-led growth model, triggering the new interesting debates with Marxists.
The Volume 32 of /Research in Political Economy/attempts to intervene in above conjunctures, centering on the theme of ‘*Return of Marxian Macro-dynamics in East Asia’*.
Papers which investigate the following topics are especially welcome: * Marxian macro-dynamic modeling of accumulation and crisis tendencies, reflecting the experiences of East Asia * Accumulation and crisis tendencies in China, Japan and Korea * Empirical estimation of the rate of surplus value, composition of capital, rate of profit, reproduction scheme, etc., in China, Japan and Korea * Diversification of employment patterns and growing income inequalities in East Asian economies from the Marxian perspective of the capital-labor relationship * Global production networks, global value chains, and unequal exchange in East Asia * Financialization and growing financial instability in the context of contemporary East Asian economies * Imperialism and geopolitical competitions in East Asia (e.g., North Korea, Taiwan, Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands, South China Sea, nuclear proliferation) * Developmental state paradigm and Marxism * Keynesian-Kaleckian wage-led or income-led growth model * Post-capitalist alternatives in East AsiaPapers are to be sent to Seongjin Jeong, Co-Editor of Volume 32, at <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] *30 June 2016*. One month before, we would appreciate notice of your intention to submit on a certain topic. Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process.
The citations, footnotes and references, used in the papers, are suggested to follow ‘Harvard’ style, i.e., papers do not have footnotes for anything but substantive matters and cite within the text, e.g., Marx (1867, p. 3) with a reference list which includes the full information.
