Thanks! We are open for business … submissions welcome!
Our goal is to make this the *premier* book series for works of HPE. If you have an idea for a book, feel free to reach out to us! 5/5
HPE is a growing field. We want books across several fields, not just our own. We suspect that most books will come from political science and economics, but we really hope to attract books in history and historical sociology 4/
Obviously, books in the series must have a historical element. We want books that take the history seriously and ask questions motivated by historical context … not questions that can be answered only because one has found a historical data set. Questions and context matter! 3/
In our view, books are for big narratives. We are not seeking narrow claims that be causally identified with precision. Books give an author the space to make big claims and support them with an (over-)abundance of evidence. This is the type of thinking we want to foster. 2/
