CFP: Urban and regional political economy stream, IIPPE conf, May 2011

We are the initial coordinators of a Working Group of the IIPPE in ‘Urban and Regional Political Economy’, which we are in the process of setting up. Please see below for the aims and organisation of this working group.

We wish to organise a stream in ‘Urban and regional political economy’ at the International Initiative for Promoting Political Economy Conference in Istanbul, 20-22 May 2011. The conference website is http://www.iippe.org/wiki/Second_International_Conference_in_Political_Economy. We welcome papers on any aspects of the political economy of localities and regions.

The deadline for submission of both streams and individual abstracts to IIPPE is 15 February 2011. If you would like to give a paper as part of our proposed stream, please send one of us an abstract of up to 250 words by 31 January 2011. We will then put together one or more sessions, and inform you of the composition of the stream by 4 February.

Please submit your abstract directly to IIPPE at http://www.iippe.org/wiki/Abstract_Submission by 15 February.

Best wishes,
