Fellow Political Economists!


I would like you to consider looking through the materials for  the


"International Encyclopedia of Public Policy: Governance in a


Global Age" (4 vols, 1.6m words, Routledge), with a view to possibly


writing/refereeing articles. The average size of articles is 4,000 words.


The iepp website is at:


http://pohara.homestead.com/files/iepp.doc


and my email is: iepp1@xxxxxxxxxx


The purpose of the encyclopedia is to critically examine the state


of play of contemporary governance issues and policies with a view


to a reassessment in the light of recent trends in globalisation,


neoliberalism, "terrorism", crises and war. There are 14 areas examined,


ranging from general issues to global ones to corporate governance,


to law and labor, to the family and society, to questions of


instability and the environment. 65% of articles have suitable writers


as of today.


Looking forward to hearing from you


Phil O'Hara,
