Aim & Scope

Holistic Economics (Holist. Econ.) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal publishing research that reflects the interdisciplinary and holistic nature of economics, grounded in sustainability, inclusiveness, and global well-being.

The journal's primary aim is to overcome methodological and theoretical fragmentation by promoting high-impact studies that examine economic phenomena within an integrated framework encompassing social, ecological, cultural, and ethical dimensions. Prioritising work that conceives the economy as an evolving system embedded within society and the biosphere, Holist. Econ. challenges reductionist assumptions of conventional economics.

The journal provides a platform for theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented studies that develop holistic, innovative, and systemic solutions to today's complex global challenges, including climate change, inequality, financial instability, and sustainable development.

Scope

The journal welcomes multidisciplinary work that expands the boundaries of economics and engages with the social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences. Unaffiliated with any single methodology or school of thought, Holist. Econ. embraces all approaches that contribute to a "holistic analysis".

Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Ecological Foundations of the Economy: Ecological economics, bioeconomy, planetary boundaries, natural capital valuation, sustainability metrics, circular economy, green growth and post-growth paradigms.
  • Behavioural and Social Dimensions: Behavioural economics, neuroeconomics, social norms and culture, trust and cooperation, happiness economics and beyond-GDP well-being metrics.
  • Systemic and Institutional Analysis: Complexity economics, system dynamics and network analysis, institutional and evolutionary economics, feminist and social economics, identity and inequality.
  • Ethics, Philosophy and Methodological Integration: Ethics in economics, justice and distribution, pluralism in economic methodology, intersections of politics, philosophy and economics (PPE).
  • Digitalisation and Innovation: Digital transformation, creative industries, financial markets, accounting, business and management processes with holistic approaches.
