INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVE FOR PROMOTING POLITICAL ECONOMY
3rd International Research Workshop in Political Economy

Call for Abstracts

Ankara, September 14th and 15th, 2009

IIPPE invites applications to its 3rd Annual Research Workshop in Ankara, Turkey on the 14-15th September 2009. The event is organised with the support of TSSA (Turkish Social Sciences Association) under the theme of “The Crisis, Interdisciplinarity and Alternatives”.

As with the previous two, highly successful workshops in Crete and Procida (near Naples), the workshop is intended to give research students the opportunity to share their research with one another and to benefit from selective inputs from more senior academics. Important networks have been created for IIPPE as well as its working groups both newly formed or consolidated.

Those interested in participating are invited to send a one-page abstract to 132590@soas.ac.uk before the extended deadline of 30th May 2009 (with the subject: IIPPE 3rd Research Workshop). We aim to inform successful participants and attendees by 8th June. Participants are required to provide a written paper in advance, the deadline for delivery of which is the 14th August 2009.

IIPPE Working Groups are encouraged to put forward a collective proposal for a session (usually 3-4 papers) within the Workshop. Please submit such session proposals, indicating the names and titles of the session papers to 132590@soas.ac.uk before the 30th May. Abstracts for these papers, and the papers themselves, should then be sent separately as above.

IIPPE is only able at most to cover basic accommodation and food costs for most workshop participants. We therefore strongly urge you to seek alternative sources of funding to cover the cost of travel and other expenses, including a workshop fee, if available. Please indicate whether you have such funding in place when sending your abstract to us.

For further information regarding the event please contact 132590@soas.ac.uk.
