*Call For Papers: Political Economies* The Fourth Global Conference on Economic Geography will take place August 19-23 2015 at the University of Oxford, UK. One of the Conference themes is Political Economies. If you are interested in this theme and have any questions, please contact Adam Dixon ([log in to unmask]). To submit a paper or a session, please see the instructions here: http://www.gceg2015.org/ Registration is open now, but the early-bird reduced rate ends on April 15. If the global financial crisis of 2008 failed to tame globalization, at the least it put in sharp relief a world economy punctuated by winners and losers. For some emerging economies, particularly in East Asia, or large corporations and the transnational elite, the crisis was a temporary bump in the road. For others, particularly in the peripheries of Europe, the crisis put in doubt the long-term prospects of entire regions and populations. This theme welcomes submissions that unpack the drivers that shape political economies from the local to the global, on topics including but not limited to: · Global policy and politics o Regional economic integration (or disintegration?) o Policy transfer and learning o Emerging global powers · Ideas and their influence o Explanatory and political status of neoliberalism o Policy and politics after behavioral economics o 'Austerity' and fiscal politics o Right-wing populism · Actors and interest groups o Regulatory capture o The plutocracy o Social movements · Territory, politics, governance o Globalization and the nation-state o Macro-foundations of urban and regional development and policy · Comparing political economies o Cross-scale, transnational, and institutionalist approaches o Dialogues with the wider field of heterodox political economy (e.g. IPE/CPE) Dr. Adam D.
