Upcoming Events

Overview: The trends of globalization, market dualization, and automation since the 1980s have increasingly exposed individuals, firms, and governments to unprecedentedly high risks of economic crisis, labor market dislocation, and demographic transformation. These risks inevitably feed into the domestic and international politics and policies. As such, the risk dimension of public policy, corporate strategy, and individual behavior deserves more research. This conference aims to (1) contribute to deeper understanding of the political economy of risk management by governments, firms, and individuals; (2) promote collaboration and cooperation in political science research across universities. The conference will have two panels: one focusing on the perspective of international political economy (IPE) and the other on the perspective of comparative political economy (CPE).

Format: The conference will include about 40 minutes of discussion for each paper in turn. Each round will begin with 15-20 minutes of presentation by the paper author, 5-10 minutes of discussant comments and then 10-15 minutes of open discussion.

This event will be held on-site but with a Zoom option.

We have some great scholars coming to present their research in IPE and CPE and we hope that you can join us.
