The Japan Society of Political Economy
(JSPE) is an interdisciplinary association devoted
to the study, development, and application of political
economy to social problems. Japan has been an important
laboratory for developing and debating ideas about
capitalism and its dynamics. On the one hand, many
political economists in Japan have chosen to work
with diverse approaches to political economy - the
French Regulation school, the Cambridge Keynesian
models, institutionalist and historical schools, and
so on. On the other hand, Japan has given rise to
several distinct strands of Marxian political economy
such as the Uno School. JSPE has been the largest
organization of heterodox economists in Japan since
its founding in 1959. Its annual meetings have provided
important occasions for debate among diverse points
of view. Beginning in October 2001, the JSPE began
inviting non-Japanese economists to make presentations
and engage in debates at these annual meetings. (For
more information see its homepage: http://www.jspe.gr.jp/en_front)
