Leo Panitch co-edited Socialist Register with Ralph Miliband, who died a
couple of years ago. As Mark Jones pointed out, the SR was very close to
Monthly Review and many of the same writers publish in both: Ellen Meiksins
Wood, Patrick Bond, John Bellamy Foster, Bill Tabb, David Harvey, et al. If
you had to pick and choose among Marxist journals based on the academy, I
suppose that MR and SR are the least compromised.
Leys is a specialist in "development theory", Africa in particular.
According to Sam Pawlett, he comes at things from the same angle as Robert
Brenner which is to say that he is skeptical of the"development of
underdevelopment" thesis--another way of saying that imperialism exists.
