About the Journal

Studi Economici e Sociali: Rivista di vita economica was founded in 1966 and is published by Centro Studi G. Toniolo. The journal has a long-standing interdisciplinary tradition devoted to the study of economic life and its legal, political, institutional, organizational, and social dimensions.

As an international peer-reviewed academic journal, it provides a forum for scholarship that crosses disciplinary boundaries and contributes to the understanding of contemporary economic, legal, political, managerial, institutional, and social phenomena.

Priority Research Areas

The journal gives particular priority to high-quality research in the following areas:

• Economics and Economic Policy — economic development, markets, public finance, international economics, economic institutions, economic policy, and contemporary economic challenges.
• Law and Legal Studies — public law, economic and business law, social legislation, regulation, comparative law, legal institutions, and law-and-society studies.
• Political Science and Governance — political institutions, governance, political economy, public administration, institutional change, democracy, and state–society relations.
• Public Policy and Administration — policy design, implementation and evaluation, public-sector governance, administrative reform, regulation, and institutional effectiveness.
• Sociology and Social Policy — social change, inequality, welfare, demographic dynamics, social inclusion, social institutions, labour, and contemporary societal transformations.
• Management and Organizational Studies — organizations, strategic management, entrepreneurship, human resources, innovation, organizational behaviour, and business–society relations.
• Development and Sustainability Studies — socioeconomic development, regional development, structural transformation, sustainability, inclusion, institutions, and development policy.
• Interdisciplinary Socio-Economic Studies — research examining interactions among economic processes, legal frameworks, political institutions, public policies, organizations, and social transformation.

The journal particularly welcomes interdisciplinary contributions that establish a clear analytical relationship between two or more of these fields rather than treating disciplines in isolation.
