SECO Working Paper Series
Cutting-edge socio-economic research
The CAE Working Papers has from November 1, 2021 been transformed into SECO Working Paper Series in order to better capture the research on contemporary political and socio-economic dynamics in advanced, emerging and developing countries.
This series provides an outlet for work at an early stage of the research process in order to disseminate the findings to a wide audience and stimulate debates prior to the publication of research findings in academic journals and books.
The Working Papers present on-going research from the projects of both SECO’s own researchers and scholars outside Roskilde University. We encourage submissions from scholars studying political and socio-economic processes from different social-science and economic schools of thought. We accept papers that draw on approaches from economic sociology, economic geography, economic anthropology and political economy, as well as ones that employ multi- and inter-disciplinary perspectives.
Submissions
Submissions
Working Paper submissions should be in English, be formatted using the Harvard citation style, and typically be between 8-12,000 words long (all inclusive). For further guidelines on how to format your submission (pdf).
Papers should be submitted to Lars Buur, lbuur@ruc.dk.
All submissions undergo an editorial peer-review process before being accepted for publication. Working Papers are published electronically only.
