Special Issue Information:

Dear Colleagues,

Persistent and extreme social-economic inequity often have political and economic consequences. What are the explanatory factors for the increasing social and economic inequity globally and domestically? These factors often include structural and institutional ones-such as the shift from manufacturing to services, global competition and disorganized labor, disparity in government fiscal capacity and quality of public service provision, and mismatch of government regulation with the needs to manage risks related to disruptive technology and platform economy. The social-economic inequality might also be related to the uneven distribution of harms caused by climate change and eco-environmental deterioration.

This special issue welcomes papers that
1) provide evidence-based and theory-informed explanations for various types of social-economic inequity, and discuss policy implication.
2) discuss the impact of social-economic inequity on people’s well-being, political system and economic development, and policy implication.
3) investigate the impact of innovative policy interventions that could narrow the global, regional and local social economic inequity in the medium and long run.
4)  identify the relations between social economic inequity and eco-environmental deterioration, and discuss policy implications.
5) critically examine the ideology and norms underlying the policy design that reinforce the social-economic inequity.
6) Construct theories, frameworks and reform agendas that may address the problems of social economic inequity
