2nd International Conference on Complementary Currency Systems: Multiple moneys and development

June 19th to 22nd, 2013 (Academic strand: 19th and 20th June; Practitioners’ strand: 21st and 22nd June)

Organised by the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) in The Hague of Erasmus University Rotterdam | website

The conference seeks to discuss the social, economic and political significance of multiple currency systems for development. It calls for papers on complementary currency systems, historical experiences with multiple monies, alternative exchange networks, and other practices with diverse means of payment. The 2nd International Conference on Complementary Currency Systems also aims at consolidating the practice of holding a meeting every two years for researchers and practitioners on the topic.

It offers space to academics and practitioners alike to organize panels, workshops, and any other session formats that participants see fit to stimulate the exchange of ideas and experiences. In principle the conference will have two strands with academic and practitioners’ activities respectively but there will be various instances for interconnection. The first two days of the conference (June 19th and June 20th) will concentrate the academic panels and the last two days (June 21st and June 22nd) will focus on the practitioners’ activities. The conference will take place in the ISS building in The Hague.

The conference will be bilingual (English and Spanish) with sessions organized in either language. Conference fees’ waivers and travel subsidies are available but in great demand. Please submit your request with your abstract, with details on what kind of waiver or subsidy you require and a budget for your travel expenses, if applicable.

Association for Institutional Thought Annual Conference 2013

April 10-13, 2013 | Denver, Colorado

Advancing our Heterodox Tradition: Promoting Evolutionary and Institutional Thinking

The 34th annual meeting of the Association for Institutional Thought (AFIT) is scheduled to be held from April 10th through the 13th, 2013, at the Grand Hyatt Denver, 1750 Welton Street, in downtown Denver, Colorado, USA. AFIT's 34th annual meeting is held in conjunction with the 55th Annual Conference of the Western Social Science Association (WSSA).

Please consider submitting a paper topic, or even organizing a whole panel of approximately four papers that includes a moderator and discussants.

Our overarching theme for the Denver 2013 Conference:

"Advancing our Heterodox Tradition: Promoting Evolutionary and Institutional Thinking"

Evolutionary and institutional thinking can be rooted in seminal advances of Thorstein Veblen, especially his efforts to recast economics. Veblen's project sought to extend efforts of Charles Darwin in the natural sciences: to offer a better understanding of our own human prospects through expanding the social sciences to consider evolutionary and institutional thinking. Carrying on Veblen's project, contributive thinkers such as John R. Commons, Wesley Mitchell, Clarence Ayres, as well as more recent thinkers, such as John Fagg Foster, Marc Tool, Anne Mayhew, Paul Dale Bush, and William Dugger -- offer us inspiration as we seek to further advance and enrich our long-standing, heterodox tradition.

Allen Gruchy dubs our heterodox tradition as an "open system" of thought, allowing us to entertain researchers motivated to explore a wide range of interests in specific topics. Advancing evolutionary and institutional thinking tends to be inclusive. The conference organizer seeks paper proposals, and even whole sessions that consider theoretical topics that engage both institutional as well as other approaches in economics. This could include exploring topics in History of Economic Thought, especially from a heterodox perspective, that, for example, considers ideas of Thorstein Veblen and other major contributors to our thought tradition. A broad set of topics could also include: advancing heterodox microeconomics; promoting the importance of "meso;" combining institutional with post Keynesian inquiry, and research into Feminist Economics. Comparative Economic Systems, Economic Development, and Globalization Studies could be relied upon for practical inquires into countries and some of their challenges, especially related to the ongoing crisis. In addition, proposals dealing with philosophy and also biography, as well as topics not considered herein, certainly interest this conference organizer. AFIT likewise takes a special interest panels that consider pluralism and economic education.

Proposals for completed sessions are encouraged - see the submission format below. If proposing a completed session, please arrange discussants of papers and a moderator for the session.

AFIT encourages proposals from graduate students, and it is anticipated that at least one and possibly more panels of graduate student papers will be included in the program. In addition AFIT sponsors prizes and awards for outstanding student papers. A formal announcement of this year's competition can be found at the AFIT web site and consider becoming a member of AFIT.

Proposed Format for a "Paper"

Title of Paper; Name of Author; Affiliation; Telephone Number; E-mail Address. Other Authors. Abstract of approximately 200 words, and cast in "New Times Roman" 12.

Proposed Format for a "Panel"

Title of the Session Title of each Paper (appx. 4) Moderator with Affiliation; Mailing Address; Telephone Number, E-mail Address. Discussant (s) with Affiliation, Mailing Address; Telephone Number; E-mail Address. Presenters with Affiliations; Mailing Addresses; Telephone Number; E-mail Address. Abstract for each paper approximately 200 words, "New Times Roman" 12.

Those interested in attending this AFIT Conference or in finding out more about our organization should visit the AFIT website noted above. Conference registration information can be found at the WSSA website. WSSA offers opportunities for registering in advance.

Current membership in AFIT is required for presenting a paper at this Denver conference - no exceptions. A current membership in WSSA is required for participation in the AFIT program. AFIT's annual membership dues are $25.00, and $15.00 for full-time students. Queries regarding membership can be addressed to Mary Wrenn, AFIT's Secretary-Treasurer, MW561@cam.ac.uk.

For consideration, proposals need to be sent to the conference organizer by December 1, 2012. Ideally, send proposals by e-mail, and to AFIT-Denver-Program@gmail.com.

Annual North American Basic Income Guarantee Congress 2013

Basic Income and Economic Citizenship

May 9-11th, 2013 | Sheraton Hotel and Towers, New York City

The Twelfth Annual North American Basic Income Congress, Basic Income and Economic Citizenship, will take place in New York City on Thursday, May 9th through Saturday, May 11th, 2013. The congress is organized by the U.S. Basic Income Guarantee Network (USBIG) in cooperation with the Basic Income Canada Network (BICN/RCRG), and will be held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the Eastern Economic Association (EEA). Attendees at the North American Basic Income Congress are welcome to attend any of the EEA’s events.

The North American Basic Income Congress (NABIG Congress) was originally the USBIG Congress, and was organized by the USBIG Network. It became a joint event of the USBIG Network and BICN/RCRG in 2010. Since then, it has been a NABIG Congress held on alternate years in the United States and Canada. Previous NABIG congresses have been held in Montréal, Toronto, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, and New York City.

Featured speakers of this year’s NABIG Congress include Sheri Berman, Barnard College, author of The Primacy of Politics: Social Democracy and the Making of Europe’s Twentieth Century; and Jurgen De Wispelaere, University of Montréal, co-editor of The Ethics of Stakeholding.

USBIG and BICN/RCRG promote discussion and research on the idea of a basic income—an unconditional guaranteed minimum income that provides a basic but decent standard of living to all. Scholars, activists, and others are invited to propose papers and organize panel discussions on the basic income guarantee or other topics related to poverty and the distribution of wealth and income, including but not limited to:

strengthening economic citizenship through universal grants and other measures; democratizing the economy through budget, tax, and labor market reform; building consensus around measures that promote equality; models and cost estimates for universal grants; issues of gender and the family; social justice; political prospects for universal grants in North America and around the world; and lessons from local pilots, programs, and initiatives.

All points of view are welcome, and proposals from any discipline are invited. To present a paper, organize a panel, or display a poster at the congress, submit a proposal to the congress organizer, Almaz Zelleke of USBIG, at azelleke@gmail.com.

Please include the following information with your proposal:

1. Name(s)

2. Affiliation(s)

3. Address

4. City, Province/State, Postal/Zip Code, and Country

5. Telephone

6. Email Address(es)

7. Paper/Presentation/Panel/Poster Title

8. Abstract or description of 50-150 words

DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS: November 30th, 2012

Proposals for panel discussions should include a title, topic, and description of the panel and the information above for each participant.

Australian Society of Heterodox Economists (SHE) Annual Conference 2012

December 3-4, 2012 | University of New South Wales, Sydney | website

Heterodox economics: Social provisioning in crisis-prone capitalism

The 11th annual Australian Society of Heterodox Economists (SHE) Conference will be held on the 3rd and 4th of December 2012 at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. The annual SHE Conference provides a vital forum for the discussion of alternatives to mainstream economics. The Conference provides a broad pluralistic and interdisciplinary forum to discuss issues of importance to heterodox economists.

For 2012 the SHE Conference theme is Heterodox economics: Social provisioning in crisis-prone capitalism. Protracted economic problems persist after three years of deep crisis and are even intensifying as governments of the richest countries implement harsh austerity measures. Major cutbacks in welfare provision, surging unemployment rates, pressures on wages and working conditions are occurring while governments respond to the demands of a resurgent financial sector and the neoliberal agenda continues unabated. Social provisioning, the economic process that provides for the needs of society, is being reshaped through investment, employment and financing decisions in the aftermath of the crisis of financialised capitalism. This year’s conference provides the opportunity to discuss these implications and propose alternative policy prescriptions to deal with a formidable range of problems.

Submission details:

Submissions are invited for single papers, complete sessions and symposia (comprising more than one session) relevant to the over-arching conference theme, or which discuss issues of importance from perspectives which differ from, or critically examine, mainstream economics.

Single papers:

All papers should include a 250 word abstract that clearly states the issue being addressed, its main points and argument. It should be stated, at the time of submission, if you require your paper to be refereed and if you wish your paper to be considered for a symposium. All papers on heterodox issues will be considered.

The deadline for refereed papers is Monday 15 October 2012.

The deadline for non-refereed papers is Monday 29 October 2012.

Complete sessions:

We welcome proposals for complete sessions. Session proposals should be sent to p.kriesler@unsw.edu.au and include the following information:

A short title A description of the session which should be no more than one page The names of the proposed participants in the session An abstract for each paper to be included in the session The name and email address of the session organiser

The deadline for the submission of session proposals is Friday 14 September 2012.

Symposia:

We encourage proposals for symposia which address a single topic or issue. The SHE Conference Committee will work with symposia organisers, when constructing the conference program, to ensure a coherent list of sessions for each symposium, and schedule these so that participants can follow a symposium across more than one session. Symposium proposals should be submitted to p.kriesler@unsw.edu.au and include the following information:

A short title (no more than 5 words) A short description of the type of paper that would be suitable for inclusion in the symposium The name and email address of the symposium organiser

The deadline for symposium proposals is Friday 14 September 2012.

Deadlines:

The SHE Conference Committee will consider all proposals for papers, sessions and symposia, and will notify you of the acceptance or rejection of your proposal.

Complete session proposals and symposium proposals are due by Friday 14 September 2012 and will be notified by Monday 24 September 2012. The deadline for refereed papers is Monday 15 October 2012. The deadline for non-refereed papers is Monday 29 October 2012.

Registration details will be announced later and be available here.

Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences

June 5-8, 2013 | Victoria, BC Canada | For pdf version, see here.

Gone are the days when capitalist triumphalism celebrated cheap credit, computers, and venture capital as the building blocks of a new economy. The empire of capital that was going strong and global after the fall of Soviet communism now is on the edge of collapse, too. Its economy weighed down by piles of bad loans and junk bonds, its politics stuck in unwinnable wars overseas and faced with rising discontent at home, and its natural basis shaken by ecological destruction and climate change. The only reason it hasn’t fallen off the cliff is that nobody pushed it. The forces of opposition are disoriented. Some think their imagined communities of nations, races, or religion could shelter them against the hardships inflicted by empire’s efforts to preserve its accumulated power and wealth. Others say that another world is possible but avoid naming it. They are weighed down by the failures, horrors, and disappointments that statist socialism had produced in the 20th century. Not surprisingly, political upsurges remain short-lived and fragmented. The crisis of capitalism coincides with a crisis of the left. To get to the edge of a lasting upswing of struggles for progressive change, activists and scholars need to face experiences of the past and turn them into building blocks for an alternative future.

Therefore, the Society for Socialist Studies encourages proposals that review and examine:

socialist experiences of the past the state of empire and the forces of opposition environmental conflict and crisis the economic crisis, the austerity agenda, and forms of resistance increasing state repression and popular xenophobia visions of and strategies for 21st century socialism

More generally, we invite proposals for papers, roundtables, and session addressing any aspect of the theme of “empire@the.edge”.

Proposals for Roundtables and Sessions:

At this point we are mainly interested in proposals for roundtables and sessions, which will then be posted on our website so that individuals can propose papers to all suggested sessions. Proposals for roundtables should include a list of participants. Unlike sessions they are not open for individual proposals. Abstracts (maximum of 100 words) for roundtable and session proposals should be submitted before December 15, 2012.

Proposals for Papers:

You can submit proposals for an individual paper at this point. The Programme Committee will try to find a place for it. Sessions open for individual proposals will be posted to our website as soon as they are accepted by the Programme Committee. Abstracts (maximum of 100 words) for paper proposals should be submitted before January 30, 2013.

Please note: The Society for Socialist Studies is committed to interdisciplinary work. Anyone suggesting a session, roundtable, or paper who is also affiliated with other associations participating in Congress [such as the Canadian Political Science Association] may think about cross-listing their proposals.

Please submit all proposals to: Ingo Schmidt, Programme Committee Chair, ingos@athabascau.ca

The Society for Socialist Studies is an association of progressive academics, students, activists and members of the general public. Formed in 1967, the Society’s purpose is to facilitate and encourage research and analysis with an emphasis on socialist, feminist, anti-racist and ecological points of view. The Society publishes Socialist Studies/Etudes socialistes, a peer-reviewed, open-access, academic journal.

International Journal on Strikes and Social Conflicts

Special Issue: “New Perspectives on Global Labour History”

Guest editor of the special issue: Christian G. De Vito

This call for articles for a special issue of the journal Workers of the World (http://www.workeroftheworldjournal.net/) on New Perspectives on Global labour history is open to PhD-, young- and senior researchers from all over the world. The originals may be submitted in Spanish, French, English, Italian and Portuguese. However, the article in its final form will be published in English, so – once approved for publication – the author is responsible for its translation within two months.

On Global labour history

First conceived at the International Institute of Social History (IISH) at the end of the 1980s as a response to the crisis of labour and social history, Global labour history (GLH) is by now a truly global “area of interest” involving scholars from a broad range of countries all over the world. Debate is open within its ever-extending borders on all key-issues in contemporary historiography. However, three fundamental features have marked Global labour history since its inception:

In Global labour history, the field of labour history is stretched beyond institutional and top-down histories. Labour relations and conditions, individual and collective identities and conflicts of all kind of (male and female) workers are taken into account. In Global labour history, the chronology of labour history is expanded beyond the divide of the First Industrial Revolution, at least so far as to include the origins of merchant capitalism. Global labour history covers the whole world and refuses any Eurocentric perspective as well as any approach that takes the nation-state as its exclusive point of reference.

Because of this, on the one hand, traditional categories in labour history are questioned, such as proletarianization, peripheral labour, etc., while all forms of labour relations involved in the process of commodification of labour are explored, e.g. slavery, wage labour, serfdom, indentured labour, etc. On the other hand, new methodologies are used in order to address interconnections exchanges and fluxes between different places and across the global and local levels. Among others: histoire croisée, microhistory, history of the everyday life, the concepts of translocality and teleconnections, the practices of “following the traces” and following the production and consumption chains.

For more detailed information on Global labour history, you might want to see:

A State of the Art, Peter Lang, Bern, 2006. Marcel van der Linden, Workers of the World. Essays Toward a Global Labour History, Brill, Leiden, 2008. Christian G. De Vito (ed.), Global Labour History. La storia del lavoro al tempo della “globalizzazione”, Ombre Corte, Verona, 2012.

On the special issue on Global labour history

The special issue of the journal Workers of the World seeks to explore the potentialities of Global labour history further, both applying new methodological approaches to themes that have been already investigated and proceeding along new thematic and methodological directions.

In the selection of articles, therefore, priority will be given to contributions presenting one or more among the following features:

a. A particular focus on methods and concepts that stress connections, exchanges, fluxes and jeux d’échelles between places and between the local and global (or micro and macro) scales.

This approach will transcend nationally-based and Eurocentric perspectives and also mere trans-national comparisons. The consequences – advantages and disadvantages – of this methodological shift on the analysis of concepts and issues will be explicitly addressed.

b. A particular focus on long-term approach.

Various periods (e.g. early modern and modern; medieval and early modern; ancient, medieval and early modern) will be integrated and the consequences produced by the long-term perspective in the observation of specific phenomena, in the use of concepts and sources, etc. will be explicitly addressed.

c. A particular focus on the historicization of the concept of “work” (and related terms).

What did “work” mean within specific historical contexts? And what was the (individual and/or collective) perception of work by workers, non-workers and employers?

d. A particular focus on one or more among the following issues:

The relationship between “free” and “unfree” labour, with further focus on intermediate forms of labour relations and on the use of the categories of “free” and “unfree” labour as such. The relationship between workers, non-workers, household and communities. The social world of the (individual and organized) employers, in relationship to the social world of the (individual and organized) workers. The relationship between gender and work. The relationship between labour and politics, in the double sense of the relationships between work and political regime and political and union organizations and political regime. The relationship between the everyday experience of work and the organization of socio-political conflicts.

Rather than addressing the methodological and theoretical issues in Global labour history in an abstract way, articles will present the results of empirical research on work and social conflicts and then, building on these, they will address the meaning of “doing” Global labour history, the advantages and disadvantages of taking such a perspective and the differences with other approaches.

Journal of Comparative and International Social Policy

Kevin Farnsworth and Zoë Irving have recently taken over the journal (formerly the Journal of Comparative Social Welfare) as joint editors.

The journal will Publish articles on all dimensions of comparative and international social policy. We hope that papers will enhance and develop theoretical, empirical and methodological insights and knowledge in the field and a greater understanding of different welfare systems and policy actors operating nationally and internationally.

The journal welcomes papers that are comparative and/or international in scope including those that focus on national, world regional or global social policies. Country case studies that locate national welfare systems within a comparative or international context are also welcome. Articles may deal with policy processes as well as welfare outcomes and cover the full range of the 'welfare mix' within social policy.

Shadow Banking: A European Perspective

1-2 February, 2013 | City University London

The global financial crisis of 2007-09 brought to light the existence of a complex web of financial intermediation that over the past few decades has evolved in parallel to the official regulated banking system. The highly complex ways of linking borrowers with agents in the capital markets was dubbed ‘the shadow banking system’, reflecting the opaque and often invisible nodes that connect official banking and its shadow segments. Many accounts attribute the global financial crisis to the spread of shadow banking; several years into the crisis, shadow banking still accounts for about a third of the total banking assets globally. Recent estimations suggest that the European shadow banking is now of similar size to the US one, having grown steadily while the US contracted. In recognition of the systemic importance of the European shadow banking, the European Commission is actively searching for regulatory answers to preserve financial stability.

This two-day conference is set to bring together academics from various fields of the social sciences, market practitioners and policymakers. We aim to advance an understanding of the nature, origins and impacts of shadow banking in the European context. We invite submissions from academics, market practitioners, regulators and policymakers on the various issues related to the phenomena of shadow banking, including its historical antecedents, international dimensions, risk components and socio-political ramifications.

The following invited speakers are confirmed: Perry Mehrling (Columbia University); Gary Dymski (Leeds Business School); Thorvald Moe (Norges Bank and Levy Institute), Brooke Masters (Financial Times). It is envisaged that a selection of conference papers will be published as a special issue of a journal, with an introduction edited by Michel Barnier, European Commissioner for financial services.

Please send your abstract (250 words) to Luigi Russi (Luigi.Russi.1@city.ac.uk), by 15 November 2012. For any further details about the event, please contact Anastasia Nesvetailova (a.nesvetailova@city.ac.uk)

The workshop is supported by the Department of International Politics, City University, City Political economy Research Centre (CITYPERC), COST action group of the EU, and is hosted by Cass Business School. Limited financial support is available for travel and accommodation costs.

Academic Committee: Barbara Casu, Victoria Chick, Daniela Gabor, Anastasia Nesvetailova, Barbara Sennholz-Weinhardt.

Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute

Research Fellowship

About SPERI

The Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute (SPERI) aims to bring together leading international researchers in the social sciences, including policy-makers, journalists and opinion formers, to reassess and develop substantive proposals to respond to the political and economic challenges posed by the global financial crisis and its legacy.

SPERI takes a holistic view of political economy in which the local, the national, the regional and the global interact at all times and in complex ways. Its research agenda reflects this and addresses in an interconnected way some of the major issues of our day, notably:

the British growth crisis the building of a new political architecture for the Eurozone the rise of the BRICs and the emergence of changing forms of capitalism in East Asia, Latin America and Africa the G20’s leadership and management of the global political economy and the role of other leading global institutions.

SPERI will also seek to explore what we see as the core economic and political question that connects all of these issues: namely, the need to think through the key elements of a sustainable new model of political economy. This must be capable of meeting the diverse needs of a world characterised by the legacy of financial crisis, ongoing environmental degradation and continued political uncertainty.

University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, US

Assistant Professor | Economics

The Economics Department at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma is seeking to fill a tenure-track Assistant Professor position with a generalist who will teach both introductory and upper-division courses for the B.A. degree in Economics.

What makes this econ department so special—and so appealing to heterodox economists—is the college’s general education program. USAO is the state’s public liberal arts college, and is built around the Interdisciplinary Core Curriculum which was developed in the 1960s. Students spend 47 hours from their freshman to senior years in Core courses, all of which emphasize critical thinking, the interconnectedness of knowledge, and the history of ideas; many of these courses are team taught. The Economics department regularly contributes to the Political and Economic Systems and Theories course. We’re looking for an economist who wants to transcend the traditional boundaries of economics in the classroom, and who will be excited to team-teach not only PEST, but across the Core.

In my 13 years here, I’ve had the opportunity to teach not only a wide range of economics courses, but in nine of the Core courses. I’ve team-taught with faculty from an incredible range of academic disciplines—political science, music, sociology, psychology, art, literature, and history. Without a doubt, these teaching experiences have given me the best education I’ve ever had, and have made me a better economist.

Approximating Prudence: Aristotelian Practical Wisdom and Economic Models of Choice

By Andrew Yuengert

July 2012, Palgrave Macmillan. ISBN: 9780230120914 | website

The economic model of choice is a powerful tool, applied widely in economic analysis. Approximating Prudence outlines the limits of the economic model by comparing it to a more comprehensive account of reasoned choice: the account of practical wisdom in the Aristotelian tradition. Although certain aspects of Aristotelian practical wisdom can be captured by the quantitative optimization models of economics, other aspects will always elude attempts to model them. The realization that there are limits to what economic models can do puts into perspective the place of economics in the larger conversation about markets, society, and politics.

The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes 30 Volume Paperback Set

Edited by Donald Moggridge and Austin Robinson

November 2012 (forthcoming), Cambridge University Press. Series: The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes. ISBN:9781107677722

John Maynard Keynes (1883–1946) was without doubt one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. His work revolutionised the theory and practice of modern economics. It has had a profound impact on the way economics is taught and written, and on economic policy, around the world. The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes, published in full in electronic and paperback format for the first time, makes available in thirty volumes all of Keynes' published books and articles. This includes writings from his time in the India office and Treasury, correspondence in which he developed his ideas in discussion with fellow economists, and correspondence relating to public affairs. Arguments about Keynes' work have continued long beyond his lifetime, but his ideas remain central to any understanding of modern economics, and a point of departure from which each new generation of economists draws inspiration.

By John Bellamy Foster and Robert W. McChesney

October 2012, Monthly Review Press. ISBN-13: 978-1-58367-313-3 | website

This incisive and timely book traces the origins of economic stagnation and explains what it means for a clear understanding of our current situation. The authors point o
