SUMMARY:Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute Conference 2018
DESCRIPTION:Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute Conference 2018 \nCall for Proposals \nPolitical Economy Ten Years After the Crisis \nHalifax Hall\, University of Sheffield\n2-4 July 2018 \nThe SPERI Conference is becoming increasingly recognised as a key forum for debating major contemporary issues in political economy in new and challenging ways. It takes place in Halifax Hall in a leafy part of Sheffield and always attracts a range of leading scholars\, doctoral students and practitioners with an interest in political economy. \nOur 2018 conference will take place just a few weeks before the tenth anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers\, an event which exemplified the early stages of the financial crisis. We invite you to submit proposals for a panel of 3-4 papers\, or an individual paper\, related to the following conference themes: \n\nThe unfolding impact of the crisis: the upheaval created by the 2008 crisis and subsequent recession\, including Brexit and shifting global economic power; the long-term social and political consequences of the crisis; the capitalist economy’s legitimacy crisis.\nResponses to crisis dynamics: moves towards ‘inclusive growth’ and the rediscovery of ‘industrial strategy’; the rise of populism on the left and the right; prospects for the renewal of global governance.\nThe political economy of the longue durée: the role of historical approaches in understanding contemporary capitalist development; the 2008 crisis as a historical ‘juncture’\, comparable but distinct to previous crises; the ability of political economists to foresee future change\, including a deepening of the present crisis.\nThe generational implications of crisis: differential impacts and understandings of crisis across people at different life-stages; the ‘normalisation’ of crisis imperatives in young people’s political imaginaries; apparent conflict between different age cohorts.\nInstitutional upheaval and continuity: the changing role of the state in relation to the capitalist economy; how institutions ‘absorb’ crisis dynamics; the emergence of a new post-crisis institutional framework for ‘managed capitalism’.\n\nMore generally\, we would be interested in panel and paper proposals which address any of SPERI’s main research areas. \nThe opening plenary session of the conference will be addressed by Professor Adam Tooze\, Professor of History at Columbia University and author of The Deluge: The Great War and the Remaking of the Global Order\, 1916-1931. Professor Tooze will be speaking about his ongoing work on the history of the financial crisis. Other speakers already committed to address plenary sessions include: Helen Thompson (University of Cambridge)\, Richard Roberts (King’s College London)\, Michael Moran (University of Manchester)\, Ann Pettifor (PRIME Economics) and Torsten Bell (Resolution Foundation). More plenary speakers will be announced in due course. \nMore information about the conference can be found on the SPERI conference website. \nPlease submit your panel or paper proposal(s) to the conference administrator by emailing speri@sheffield.ac.uk by no later than Monday 18th December. \nPlease also feel free to discuss your ideas in advance with any of the conference convenors:\nColin Hay\, Craig Berry and Adam Leaver

SUMMARY:20th Anniversary Conference of the Association for Heterodox Economics
DESCRIPTION:5-7th July 2018\, De Montfort University\, Leicester\, UK \nThe 20th Anniversary Conference of the AHE (Association of Heterodox Economics) is being held at De Montfort University\, Leicester\, UK. The AHE has established a reputation as a major forum for the discussion and development of interdisciplinary and pluralistic alternatives to mainstream economics. It is committed to strengthening the community of heterodox economists\, and to the development of heterodox economic theories. Recognition of failures within mainstream economics and popular discontent about economic problems are widespread. We particularly encourage submissions for streams and papers on the history of economics; finance\, banking and financialisation; austerity\, inequality and diversity; sustainable economics and climate change; methodology; teaching and learning; heterodox microeconomics; and other standpoints which critically examine the mainstream\, such as critical management studies. \nAcademic Committee \nProposals for streams\, papers and bursaries will be reviewed by an academic committee comprising Lynne Chester (University of Sydney)\, Thoralf Dassler (University of Westminster)\, Ioana Negru (SOAS\, University of London)\, and Bruce Philp (Birmingham City Business School). We aim to notify successful participants and bursary winners within two weeks of the closing date. The decision of the academic committee will be final. \nPlease complete this form with your proposal(s): https://goo.gl/forms/gHeHpOUAGtkj6TvY2 \nThe conference language is English. Normal sessions will be 90 minutes long and will usually consist of two or three papers with at least one discussant. You do not need to submit a paper to register. Participants should be prepared to serve as discussants and/or session chairs. \nDeadlines \n\nProposals for complete sessions by 1st February 2018:\nAbstracts for single papers (not more than 250 words) by 1st March 2018.\nDraft papers for refereeing by 1st May 2018.\nNormal registration by 1st May 2018.\nLate registration by 1st June 2018.\nFinal submission of papers\, for inclusion in the online programme\, by 8th June 2018.\n\nFor further details\, please go to: http://hetecon.net/?page=ahe_conferences&side=20th_call_for_papers \n

SUMMARY:Back on the Agenda? Industrial Policy revisited Conference
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe 2018 Cambridge Journal of Regions\, Economy and Society Conference will be on the topic of ‘Industrial Policy’ and will be held on 12-13 July 2018 at St Catharine’s College\, Cambridge. \nAfter years of disrepute in several countries\, Industrial Policy (IP) is back in vogue of late at regional\, national and international levels\, driven by concerns over competitiveness\, globalisation\, de-industrialisation\, unemployment and\, in the European case\, by comparatively slow growth. Modern industrial policy is a broad concept and has moved beyond entailing specific industrial policies (that aim to improve the competitiveness of particular firms and sectors); rather\, it is increasingly viewed as the architecture through which the state enables businesses and people to acquire new capabilities to enhance growth and socio-economic development within geographical places.\nThe conference themes include: \n\nRethinking sectoral and regional-level industrial policies\nChanges in manufacturing processes\nSmart Specialisation strategies\nEnhancing growth and socio-economic development\nRegional/International policies\n\nCALL FOR PAPERS\nThe Special Issue Editors welcome papers for consideration from academics and researchers seeking to build upon recent research on industrial policy and smart specialisation.\nAuthors interested in publishing in the Special Issue should submit:\nAbstract: Around 400 words\nEmail: Francis Knights fk240@cam.ac.uk\nAbstract Deadline: 6 January 2018 \n

SUMMARY:Global Conference on Economic Geography 2018
DESCRIPTION:Cologne\, 24-28 July\, 2018 \nSession: Global finance\, development\, and the new peripheries \nOrganizers: Leigh Johnson (University of Oregon); Stefan Ouma (Goethe University-Frankfurt); Patrick Bigger (Lancaster University) \nThis session examines the significance of financial relations and transactions in spaces of the global South that have typically been figured as “marginal” to\, if not altogether excluded from\, the operations of global finance. As finance relentlessly seeks to identify further spatial fixes and revenue streams\, this session will probe the particularities of integration. What assemblages and legacies – (post)colonial and otherwise – characterize these spaces? What are the regional coordinates of integration\, and the concrete social\, political and material landscapes it produces? \nThe optic of “peripheries” – with its roots in dependency theory – highlights the relations of power\, subordination and exploitation produced through finance’s expansion and experimentation at its frontiers. As certain places are linked to global flows of capital\, they can become peripheralized in new ways. Yet as some “financial innovation” originates in the South and travels to the global North (e.g. mobile money and microfinance) and the South more generally becomes a source of capital (e.g. sovereign wealth or pension funds)\, existing understandings of peripheralisation must be reexamined. How can the dependent and extraverted notions of development suggested by the term “periphery” be reworked to make a place for heterogeneous forms of economic self-fashioning? How might other concepts such as extraction\, dispossession\, value grabbing\, disarticulations and expulsion help render intelligible the new peripheral operations of finance and the place-making projects that emerge from them? \nWe especially invite papers making conceptual advances using empirical cases on topics including but not limited to: financial inclusion and adverse incorporation; new sites of experimentation and product development; the financialisation of development; multiple frontiers of peripheral financialisation (e.g. land\, agriculture\, nature\, housing\, manufacturing\, IT…); macroeconomic policies\, links between micro and macro scale finance; relationships between global and “indigenous” financial practices\, institutions\, and discourses; rethinking the core(s) of global finance. \nAbstract Submission:\nIf this is of interest\, please submit your abstract by filling out the embedded form and selecting this session as your first choice at: https://www.gceg2018.com/nc/call-for-sessions-and-papers/submit-an-abstract.html by 15 February\, 2018.\nWe aim to finalize the session(s) by 1 March\, a bit ahead of the conference abstract deadline.\nAny questions about the session may be directed to Patrick Bigger at p.bigger@lancaster.ac.uk.
