The Economy and Contemporary Society journal, edited by the Gheorghe Zane Institute for Economic and Social Research, Romanian Academy, Iași Branch, and publish under the aegis of the Romanian Academy Publishing House, continues and elevates the initiative launched over three decades ago with the founding of the Yearbook of the “Gh. Zane” Center for Economic Research of Iași in 1992.

The new series of the journal, inaugurated with Volume 29, aims to open new horizons in national, regional, and global economic research, by leveraging multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives within the fields of economics and social sciences. These interconnected approaches are increasingly essential, as an integrated epistemic framework is becoming an absolute imperative in academic research.

Respecting the tradition established by the former Yearbook, the new series will feature original research conducted in diverse and complex ways, including theoretical and empirical analyses, methodological proposals, literature reviews, analytical essays, and book reviews.

The journal is exclusively published online in an open-access format, with articles undergoing a rigorous double-blind peer review process. The quality standard is ensured through the involvement of reviewers and the contribution of the Advisory Board, composed of distinguished figures from academic research and higher education.

Economy and Contemporary Society aspires to become a platform for the rapid and wide dissemination of both original theoretical contributions and practical insights from all areas of economics and social sciences.
