CFP PSA 2020: The Political Economy of Contemporary European Growth Models, 70th Political Studies Association Annual International Conference, Edinburgh, 6th – 8th April 2020
Organisers: Sean McDaniel (MMU), Ben Clift (Warwick) Deadline for abstracts: Friday 13th October 2019
As part of the British and Comparative Political Economy Specialist Group [PSA-BCPE], we welcome abstracts from participants conducting researching in the broad area of ‘The Political Economy of Growth Models’ in Europe in the post-2008 crisis environment.
Europe’s models of growth are in crisis. The economic and financial crisis from 2008 on was seen by many, scholars and policy-makers alike, to undermine the foundations of the extant dominant neo-liberal growth model in Europe and the US. As a result of austerity measures and the European Union’s (EU) push for structural reform, Europe’s economies have undergone adjustment and reorganisation. However, somewhat ironically we have more often than not seen the entrenchment of many features of the failed pre-crisis regimes.
The British model of capitalism, for instance, has long been seen to be in a phase of historic decline, with growth propped up by a reliance on financial capitalism that perpetuates economic and geographical inequalities. The economic crisis has changed little in this regard. On the other hand, despite the Eurozone crisis highlighting the serious problems associated with the composition of the Eurozone economic architecture, recent research suggests that European integration is serving to promote particular ‘export-led’ growth models a la Germany, whilst punishing demand-led growth paths (Johnston and Regan 2018).
This panel welcomes proposals that interrogate the Political Economy of contemporary European growth models. We welcome country specific case studies or papers that are comparative in nature. We particularly welcome contributions that focus on the following issues from a Political Economy perspective:
- Domestic models of growth
- Domestic and non-domestic impediments to growth/models of capitalism
- The impact of European integration (and Brexit) on growth models
- Sectoral imbalances
- The ‘productivity puzzle’
All paper proposals should include name, affiliation and email of the presenter(s) and an abstract of maximum 300 words. Abstracts should include:
- Paper title
- Key research question
- Outline of argument
- Five 'key words'
Please send your abstracts to [log in to unmask] The deadline is Sunday 13th October 2019. We will confirm if your abstract has been accepted or not by Tuesday 15th October 2019.
