Online achievement awards

Since its launch, over the past 16 months Progress in Political Economy (PPE) has been a collective effort involving nearly 60 authors writing over 200 posts across the range of political economy.

Our current Top Ten posts have a range of figures such as Yanis Varoufakis and Philip Mirowski contributing as well as breakthrough pieces by early-career and established scholars on topics covering political economy including topics on postcolonialism, spaces of imperialism, neoliberalism, the Pink Tide in Latin America, as well as a focus on classic figures from Hayek to Gramsci.

The result has seen PPE emerge as one of the few centres of critical political economy collective blogging.

Most recently, PPE has been nominated under the category for best Collective Blog for the Online Media Caucus of the International Studies Association.

It would be great if our readers were willing to get behind PPE to vote us into the final shortlist to then see what happens thereafter. There are a raft of excellent candidates across the categories for the online achievement awards that will grab your attention. The deadline is 1 February.
