>Political-economy scholarship has proven a fruitful perspective in
>understanding recent transformations of capitalism and capitalist societies.
>Many European sociologists and scholars from other disciplines work on
>projects that investigate European societies from a variety of
>political-economy perspectives. However, we lack a platform to promote and
>facilitate such research endeavours, to reassert the political economy
>perspective in the European Sociology and European social science in
>general, and to promote critical and emancipatory scholarship in Europe.
>
>Therefore, we call interested scholars to participate in the
>Political-Economy Research Network of the European Sociological Association.
>Given the inherently inter-disciplinary nature of political-economy
>perspectives, we do not limit this call to sociologists. On the contrary, we
>wish to address scholars working within different disciplines, who employ
>political economy perspective in its broad sense in the study of Europe.
>Political economy has been traditionally defined as a particular field of
>study focusing on the relationship between the state and the economy. It
>understands the political and the economic as mutually co-constituted, the
>economic relations are seen as power relations involving a struggle over
>various scarce and valuable resources. Thus, we would like to bring together
>people employing neo-Marxist, neo-Gramscian, Regulationist, cultural
>political economy, world systems, constructivist, sociological
>institutionalist and other heterodox institutional and evolutionary
>political economy perspectives.
>
>The primary activities of the network will include:
>1. Facilitating the exchange of information, ideas and dialogue
>[mailinglist, website, newsletter]
>2. Establishing contacts that might lead to new research projects or bids
>for funding for research projects
>3. Organizing paper sessions and workshops at the ESA conferences
>4. Organizing special seminars and conferences
>
>The founding meeting of the research network will take place at the ESA
>conference in Torun, 9-13 September 2005. The topic of the session will be
>Competing Perspectives on the European Economy and its Future in the Global
>Era. However, we may try to arrange with the organizers more sessions if
>there is a strong demand for another topic.
>
>Please email your interest in participating in the network in any form (e.g.
>subscribing to the mailinglist) or presenting a paper at the ESA session to
>the acting coordinator at [log in to unmask] If you with to participate
>in the conference, please note that the deadline for electronic submission
>of abstracts is February 15, 2005. (If you learn about this call later,
>please do not hesitate to contact the coordinator anyway.)
