The explosion of information and research that has taken place in recent years has had a profound effect upon a variety of existing academic disciplines giving rise to the dissolution of barriers between some, mergers between others and the creation of entirely new fields of enquiry. The social sciences have not been immune to the effects of this transformation, but a great deal of relevant information that has been discovered in related fields of study, inter alia, sociology, psychology, history and anthropology, still has yet to be fully incorporated into the central body of economic doctrines traditionally taught in colleges and universities. Economics, as a result, has been shielded from exciting developments that have occurred in the physical sciences, philosophy, technology and mathematics. The journal gives priority to publishing articles that bring insights from other disciplines into economics as well as those that link ideas from different branches of economics in an innovative way. Papers and comments are particularly welcome on topics that focus, from an interdisciplinary perspective, on neglected boundary areas, hidden assumptions and axioms in economics that may not be self-evident. The aim is to contribute towards the development of an economic science more appropriate to the contemporary global environment, thereby enabling economists to tackle problems that have been created within that environment.
