The conference provides a forum for economists of a pluralist view to explore areas of interest to them in a sympathetic environment. Past conferences of the Association have focused on particular themes and more recently the dominant concern has been with promoting pluralism. This year's conference appealed for contributions which display pluralism in action. By that is meant a number of different possibilities. Papers may be pluralist in themselves; or sessions may be, promoting debate between or within theoretical perspectives on specific areas of interest. The conference will comprise sessions which present papers that demonstrate the conference theme plus two small streams on other specialist topics. All sessions are 90 minutes long and most comprise two papers. This design means that in contrast to many conferences, speakers get extended time to present their work. Confirmed speakers: Professor Sam Cameron, University of Bradford Professor Sandye Gloria-Palermo, University of the French West Indies - Guadalupe Professor Barbara Harris-White, Professor of Development Studies, Oxford University Professor Chris Niggle, University of Redlands, California Professor Eric Reinert, Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia and Norwegian Institute for Strategic Studies Dr. Pritam Singh, Oxford Brookes University Organising committee:- Chairman: Dr. Andrew Mearman, University of the West of England, Bristol Professor Paul Dunne, University of the West of England, Bristol Professor Peter Howells, University of the West of England, Bristol Dr. Sam Perlo-Freeman, University of the West of England, Bristol Kylie Dursley, Bristol Business School, UWE, Bristol Scientific committee:- Vinca Bigo, University of Cambridge Professor Victoria Chick, University College London Dr. Andy Denis, City University, London Dr. Paul Downward, Loughborough University Alan Freeman, University of Greenwich, London Dr. Joseph Halevi, University of Sydney Dr. Andrew Mearman, University of the West of England Dr. Ioana Negru, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge Dr. Karl Petrick, University of the West Indies For further information go to http://www.uwe.ac.uk/bbs/aheconference <http://www.uwe.ac.uk/bbs/aheconference> , which is the conference website.
