- apologies for cross-posting - Dear all, Please find below our call for paper for the coming Global Conference in Economic Geography. We hope that it will be of interest. Please do circulate and feel free to get in touch for any queries. Cheers, Carlo and Dennis Radicalising global production networks Carlo Inverardi-Ferri and Dennis Stolz, National University of Singapore As a heuristic framework for understanding the organisationally fragmented and spatially dispersed nature of contemporary production, the Global Production Networks (GPN) approach has become one of the most influential paradigms in geography today (Coe & Yeung, 2015). From its earliest formulations, the GPN framework held the promise of a critical investigation of uneven geographical development, integrating elements from world-systems theory, dependency analysis and other radical traditions in political economy (Dicken et al., 2001; Henderson et al., 2002). Later scholarship has in part departed from this initial agenda (Bair, 2005; Smith, 2015). While intersections between GPN and critical strands of geographical research have certainly emerged in the literature (Arnold & Hess, 2017; Hudson, 2008; Leslie & Reimer, 1999), this session suggests that a more robust engagement with radical schools of economic thinking is needed to fulfil the original promise of the project. The session invites theoretical, empirical, and methodological contributions that cover themes including, but are not limited to: Marxian approaches and GPN Political ecology and GPN Cultural political economy and GPN Feminist geography and GPN Neo-Gramscian approaches and GPN Polanyian economic geography and GPN Labour geography and GPN State and institutions within GPN GPN, primitive accumulation, and enclosures Social reproduction and GPN Food and GPN Waste and GPN Animal geographies and GPN Mobility and migration in GPN Informality and the illicit in GPN Informal queries can be addressed to [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask] Please submit your abstract online at https://www.gceg2018.com by 15th March 2018 References Arnold, D., & Hess, M.
