2011 marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of IPEG. Formed in 1971 on the initiative of Susan Strange, then with the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House, IPEG received funding from the ESRC and became affiliated with BISA when that organisation was founded in 1974. The event aims to critically reflect on the history of IPEG as an organisation, and the evolution and development of IPE as a field of study since the founding of IPEG. The workshop offers a unique opportunity for scholars to reflect on the place of recent events in the discipline’s history and future.
We seek papers that will take the core themes in Strange’s work – the production structure, the security structure, the financial structure, and the knowledge structure – as a point of departure for reflections on the state of IPE and the international political economy. Papers are welcome that address any aspect of the theory, practice, politics and history of these issues broadly understood.
Travel and accommodation bursaries will be available for postgraduate paper presenters
Paper proposals (i.e. a title and brief abstract) should be submitted by May 7th 2011 to the IPEG Convenor, Stuart Shields, at the following address: stuart.shields@manchester.ac.uk.
