NEW BOOK SERIES

I am writing to you as the editor of a new book series produced
by Routledge Press aimed at publishing recently and soon to be
completed Ph.D. dissertations in political economy. The series is
entitled "New Political Economy." As editor, I am looking for
those dissertations in political economy that you as the Ph.D.
committee chair or member thought might be especially interesting
to and worthy of a wider reading audience.

Dissertations can be theoretical, empirical, or both. They also
may be focused on a particular history or history of thought. I
would like to leave the field of political economy and hence
dissertations written under that heading as broadly conceived,
but it is perhaps no secret that I am interested in those works
focused particularly on Marxian theory including value analysis,
postmodern Marxian analyses, gender studies, and class studies.
However, I also want to stress that this series is open to a
variety of different perspectives. Dissertations will be
considered that do not fall specifically under one or the other
of the above topics but are thought by you to be an original
attempt to explore some question or issue in the broadly
conceived field of political economy. The overall idea of this
project is to circulate more widely the best work of your
graduate students. The advantages of such a series to the
graduate student are a wider circulation of his or her ideas and
obviously a book publication in his or her early career.

If this series sounds interesting to you and you know of a
completed or soon to be completed dissertation that fits the
above description, please contact me at my departmental or e-mail
address below or have your graduate student do so. Please include
in the communication a brief summary (one or two paragraphs
should be sufficient) of the dissertation. On that basis, I then
can ask the student to submit the work for consideration.

With best regards,

Stephen Resnick,

Professor of Economics, Department of Economics, University of
MA, Amherst, Amherst, MA 01003
