<\/i>Origins<\/span><\/h4>

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>were founded in 1908 by Professor Edgard Milhaud (Geneva). Professor Paul Lambert from the University of Li\u00e8ge (Belgium) directed the Annals from 1960. From 1977 to 1990, they were directed by Guy Quaden (University of Li\u00e8ge).Until 1925, the journal existed under the name ”\u00a0Annales de la r\u00e9gie directe\u00a0<\/em>“. It then called the Annals of Collective Economy \/ Annals of Collective Economy. In 1964 (English edition) and in 1974 (French edition) that the current name of the journal was approved. Three editions (French, English, German – Annalen der Gemeinwirtschaft) coexisted until 1989.<\/p>\n

The scientific journal is the basis on which the association itself was built in 1947, which became its publisher until 2017. Since 2018, the Annals have been published by the Edgard Milhaud Foundation, which was formed at the end of 2017 by CIRIEC International and CIRIEC Belgium.<\/p>\n

The review’s 100th anniversary has been celebrated on September 22nd , 2008 in Sevilla during the\u00a027th international Congress of CIRIEC. For this centenary,\u00a0a special issue<\/a>\u00a0has been produced, in which we can highlight 2 articles directly devoted to the review: the very rich historical one by E. Geerkens entitled\u00a0“From the\u00a0Annales de la r\u00e9gie directe to Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics:<\/em>\u00a0100 years of Transformations in an international Journal”<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/a>recounting the diverse changes lived by the\u00a0Annals’<\/em>\u00a0over 100 years. The second one signed by F. Fecher and B. L\u00e9vesque proposes to the readers the result of a significant work consisting in a review and thematic analysis of the\u00a0Annals’\u00a0<\/em>content over the last 30 years.Under the title\u00a0<\/strong>“The Public Sector and the Social Economy in the\u00a0Annals<\/em>\u00a0(1975-2007): Towards A New Paradigm”<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/a>the two authors identify the main research topics and the most used theoretical frameworks for the public sector and the social economy.<\/p>\n

In 2018, the journal celebrates 110 years and publishes on this occasion a special issue edited by Marco Marini and Bernard Thiry<\/strong> in open access:\u00a0An Enduring Platform for Public and Cooperative Economics Research<\/a> (vol 89, 1).<\/p>\n
