Eugene Schofield-Georgeson synthesises, amongst other things, a juridification of social relationships, the centrality of contract as a means of repatterning those relationships, a synergy between neoliberal economic theory and law, and an opportunistic legal indeterminacy that can justify most outcomes.

The post Labour law and the reign of neoliberal legality appeared first on Progress in Political Economy (PPE).

The prize committee is pleased to announce that Elliot Dolan-Evans’ article, titled ‘Pipes, profits and peace: toward a feminist political economy of gas during war’, published in the Review of International Political Economy, has won the 2024 Australian International Political Economy Network (AIPEN) Richard Higgott Journal Article Prize.

The committee awarded the prize to this article for its exploration of urgent questions surrounding the reform of international financial institutions during conflict, energy provisioning, and its impact on women and households.

The article provides a pathway for integrating feminist political economy with energy security studies, and in doing so offers an important and valuable contribution to IPE. Building on existing theories and research, the article presents a novel perspective, supported by new empirical details from the case of gas reform in Ukraine and its adverse effects on women and households during wartime.
