Constitutional analysis is the main focuses of the journal, but it also includes research on public policy, legal institutions, norms, and methodological issues. Constitutional Political Economy is a forum for research in the broad field of constitutional analysis. Its grounding discipline is economics, but the systematic study of institutions requires consideration of economic, political, legal, and philosophical motivations, rules, and effects. As a consequence, the journal is interdisciplinary and includes research from a variety of perspectives.
