International Initiative for Promoting Political Economy
IIPPE Workshop
Financial Crisis and Developing and Emerging Countries, 14th March 2009
Call for Abstracts
The IIPPE financialisation working group is organising a workshop on the effects
of the financial crisis (credit crunch) on developing and emerging countries.
The aim is to go beyond generic studies on “the developing countries”, and
acquire a country and context specific insight into the channels through which
heterogeneous developing and emerging countries have and will be affected by
the evolving financial crisis in the developed world.
Presentations at the workshop should last between 15-20 minutes (no papers
required as yet) and highlight the specific channels through which different
countries are or could be affected by the crisis. These can include
- the role of financial markets and trade in the transmission mechanism
- the effect on commodity-dependent countries
- possible effects through aid and remittance flows, etc
- policy responses and economic and social protest
However, given the heterogeneity of developing and emerging countries, the
mechanisms highlighted will inevitably depend on the specific situation within
which each individual country is situated. Nonetheless, there is a need to
identify both common origins and diverse mechanisms and outcomes as the crisis
continues to unfold.
Although primarily aimed at stimulating discussion and supporting young
researchers in their work on developing and emerging countries, it is hoped to
disseminate papers and contributions as appropriate, possibly formally through
publication.
If you are interested in presenting at the workshop, please send a short
abstract or outline of the presentation (approx. 150 words) by 20th February,
2009, to both
