Aim & Scope
"INTERVENTION. European Journal of Economics and Economic Policies" was firstly published in March 2004. The journal comes out on a half-yearly basis. It is a peer-reviewed journal which serves as a forum for studies in macroeconomic theory, economic institutions and economic policies. INTERVENTION invites contributions acknowledging the pluralism of research approaches in economics. It aims at a productive debate and reciprocal interventions among such approaches. In particular, the editors hold that a wide variety of institutional and social factors shape economic life and economic processes. Only a careful study and integration of such factors into economics will lead to theoretical progress and to adequate economic policy recommendations. Therefore, the submission of theoretical and empirical work in these fields is encouraged.
The title of INTERVENTION is to be interpreted – on the basis of the journal's aims and focus – in a programmatic sense. The title wants to emphasize that the journal strives to intervene into the dominating methodological approach and contents of economics.
Relaunch with issue 1-2008
It is with some significant changes that the journal Intervention enters its fifth year of existence. From now on the journal will be published by Metropolis, Marburg, which is widely known in the German-speaking region for its extensive publishing programme in the area of economics. With this change we associate the hope to extend our readership and the visibility of the journal. Moreover, the journal aims at bringing its strengths into a sharper focus. Also in the future the journal will regard itself as a forum for different theoretical approaches. However, in the future we would like to focus on research papers on macroeconomic theory, economic institutions, and economic policy. As macroeconomic questions and arguments are often neglected, Intervention aims at connecting the micro and the macro level and at fostering the development of macroeconomic theory.
In addition, submissions as well as readers have continuously Europeanised and internationalised and have increased in numbers. All these developments are reflected in the journal’s new sub-title – European Journal of Economics and Economic Policies – and in its revised aims and scope. We are confident that the latest changes and re-orientations in thematic, personal, and organisational terms will help the journal to realise its intention to become an attractive alternative for authors and readers interested in economic theory and policy.
