CSWG aims to bring together researchers from heterodox economic traditions and other related disciplines interested in developing and critically applying new methodologies and frameworks in the analysis of commodity production/extraction, exchange and consumption in the contemporary world economy.

We particularly welcome papers with a focus on one of the following four themes:

• Commodity chains and global hierarchies

• Contemporary processes of commodification
• Towards a political economy of price
