I had noticed it as well. It is indeed - as you say - odd for an "interdisciplinary" journal (on globalization of all things!) not to include economics. I do not think, though, that this omission was accidental: rather, it reflects a perspective among some academics in the anti-globalization movement. In an effort not to crudely reduce globalization to its economic aspects alone, they have adoped an equally one-sided but opposing perspective. I agree that crude political economy can result. In solidarity, Jerry
