IIPPE Workshop Financial Crisis and Developing and Emerging Countries
Call for Abstracts
The IIPPE financialisation working group is organising a workshop on the effects of the financial crisis (credit crunch) on developing and emerging countries. The aim is to go beyond generic studies on “the developing countries”, and acquire a country and context specific insight into the channels through which heterogeneous developing and emerging countries have and will be affected by the evolving financial crisis in the developed world.
Presentations at the workshop should last between 15-20 minutes (no papers required as yet) and highlight the specific channels through which different countries are or could be affected by the crisis. These can include
However, given the heterogeneity of developing and emerging countries, the mechanisms highlighted will inevitably depend on the specific situation within which each individual country is situated. Nonetheless, there is a need to identify both common origins and diverse mechanisms and outcomes as the crisis continues to unfold.
Although primarily aimed at stimulating discussion and supporting young researchers in their work on developing and emerging countries, it is hoped to disseminate papers and contributions as appropriate, possibly formally through publication.
If you are interested in presenting at the workshop, please send a short abstract or outline of the presentation (approx. 150 words) by 20th February, 2009, to both Giovanni Cozzi: gc15@soas.ac.uk and Annina Kaltenbrunner: ak82@soas.ac.uk
