Editorial objective

International Journal of Social Economics aims to provide its readers with a unique forum for the exchange and sharing of information in social economics. Social economics focuses on needs, rather than wants, and the wellbeing of individuals in community rather than the individual conceived as an isolated atom. It accepts the possibility of a common good in which communities are more than merely aggregates of individual preferences. The focus of the journal is the impact of economic activity on individuals in community, and its wider social meanings and consequences.  The IJSE exists to explore the nature and ethical implications of social-economic problems, as these are analysed by geographers, historians, philosophers, political economists, political scientists, social and political theorists, sociologists, and theologians interested in social problems, as well as business academics.

Topicality

Increasing economic interaction, allied to the social and political changes evident in many parts of the world, has created a need for more sophisticated understanding of the social, political and cultural influences which govern our societies. The journal, with its philosophical discussions of research findings, combined with commentary on international developments in social economics, makes a genuinely valuable contribution to current understanding of the subject and the growth of new ideas.
