The European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE) is a pluralist forum of social scientists that brings together the theorists and theoretical traditions to develop a more realistic and adequate approach to theory and policy.

Foundation

EAEPE was established in London, on 29 June 1988. However, the formal founding meeting was only held in September 1989 at the association's first annual conference in Keswick, Cumbria, UK. At this occasion, the EAEPE Constitution was adopted and a Steering Committee was elected, changed later into the EAEPE Council.

In 1991, the association adopted a Scientific Development Plan in which several Research Areas were designated for coordination to the relevant scholars.

Aims and objectives

Breaking away from the formalist orthodox economics theorising, the association promotes heterodox evolutionary, dynamic and realistic approaches to economic theory and policy.

* A periodic [http://www.cambridge.org/journals/journal_catalogue.asp?historylinks=alpha&mnemonic=joi Journal of Institutional Economics] (JOIE) is devoted to the study of the nature, role and evolution of institutions in the economy
