The Brazilian Journal of Political Economy is a peer-reviewed journal, published since January 1981, in which the economic theory is understood in its classical sense, as a historical-deductive political economy, not as a hypothetical-deductive economy. The Brazilian Journal of Political Economy is interested in articles on macroeconomics of development, on the recent history of economic thought, and articles discussing the Brazilian or Latin American economies. Theoretically, the Journal is associated with Classical Developmentalism, Post-Keynesian Economic Theory, and New Developmentalism. In relation to the latter, the Journal is interested in studies that offer new contributions, or are critical, or apply their hypothesis to the analysis of national economies or compare New Developmentalism with the two old theories from which it originates. It is not interested in comparing policies without corresponding theories. In literature reviews, relevant Brazilian and Latin American authors who deal with the subject should be duly cited. Since January 2026, the Brazilian Journal of Political Economy has published articles only in English. When accepting an article submission, the journal uses its interest in publishing it as a criterion.
