Call for papers: 2024 Annual International Political Economy Working Group workshop
“IPE in Flux”: 4 to 5 September 2024 at the University of Edinburgh.
Crisis and uncertainty have become the norm in the global political economy. (Hyper-)inflation, unprecedented debt, persistent poverty and subjugation, climate change, strife, and the abuse of power by world leaders are among the complex challenges we face. At the same time, new opportunities and risks have emerged from technological advances and changing global power politics. There is an urgent need to rethink how institutions, systems, and ideas can be reformulated in ways that cope with these challenges while building resilience and making progress on demands for decolonisation, equality, and justice.
The theme of this year’s IPEG workshop is therefore ‘IPE in Flux’. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on what it means to face these unknowns, what lessons we might draw from past / ongoing crises, and what role scholarship plays in addressing them.
We invite researchers, practitioners, and activists to contribute their research and insights. Please submit your paper abstracts of no more than 200 words through our online form. The deadline for submissions is 1 June 2024. You are also welcome to submit panel proposals of 4 to 5 presenters. Please include the panel title, theme and abstracts for each paper. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by 15 June 2024.
Registration is free for BISA members. A limited amount of travel funding is available to supplement the travel expenses of early career researchers (defined as PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, and staff on a fixed term contract). Please indicate on the online form if you would like to be considered for travel funding.
