[All links for this web page were checked on August 5, 2023, and, unless indicated otherwise, should take you to the original article: click on underlined item. If they are not underlined, or listed “no longer available,” then they are not available on-line, although you may find a particular article by putting the title in quotes into Google, and seeing if it is available on some other web site. This may not work, but it’s always worth a try!]

- An overview of Dr. Scipes’ publications–by subject–where they are located by subject category and listed within each by date, with most recent first (and covering all of Dr. Scipes’ publications since 1984). Dr. Scipes has published over 270 articles and book reviews since 1984.

Since 1984, I have written and been published on a wide number of subjects–as of this date, I have published over 260 separate articles and book reviews, including peer-reviewed articles, and four books.
My academic work is divided into books, Ph.D. dissertation, peer-reviewed academic articles, and book/movie reviews.
My articles that have been published in specialty and serious popular publications–in hard copy, in hard copy and on web sites, and sometimes only on a web site–are listed by Subject: Miscellaneous Publications; Chicago; International Political Economy; Neoliberal Economic Policies around the Globe; Environmental/Ecological Politics; Urban Politics; Media; Social Movements; War/Military/Empire; Philippines; Venezuela; Labor Theory; Building Grassroots Labor Internationalism; International Labor (not Philippines ; US Labor (not including AFL-CIO Foreign Operations); and AFL-CIO Foreign Operations. (With the broad exception of book/movie reviews, there is little overlap of the articles in the above-listed categories–and, whenever possible, electronic links to articles are provided.)
However, I later created a new category, Neo-liberal Economic Policies around the Globe, to bring together my writings on this subject from the Philippines, South Africa, Venezuela and the United States (from different categories)–each based on personal field research.
