SUMMARY:2nd Edition of The Political Economy of Ecological Change and Economic Security in the Global South
DESCRIPTION:2nd Edition of The Political Economy of Ecological Change and Economic Security in the Global South \nThe urgency of the climate crisis cannot be overstated\, particularly given its disproportionate impact on vulnerable communities in the Global South. As climate change accelerates\, these communities face extraordinary challenges threatening their ecological stability\, economic security\, and fundamental human rights. Understanding these issues requires a nuanced exploration of the intricate political economy within these countries. Contrary to the misconception of uniformity in production conditions and development trajectories\, regional and local ecological specificities across the Global South have shaped distinct forms of livelihoods and resource management systems\, particularly in South and Southeast Asia. \nThe ongoing climate crisis has wreaked havoc on these livelihoods\, exacerbating vulnerabilities and deepening existing inequalities. The most disadvantaged communities are facing the gravest impacts\, which pose a threat not only to ecological balance and economic stability but also to human security. The paradox facing the Global South is that\, despite following different path-dependencies and minimal historical responsibility for ecological change\, they find themselves disproportionately affected and often less equipped to mitigate its impacts. This paradox heightens concerns over economic security\, as nations must divert limited resources from essential sectors towards adaptation and mitigation efforts. \nEven though global actions to restrict warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels have been inadequate\, the Global South has become a centre for creative and cooperative efforts\, both among its nations and in collaboration with the Global North. Often backed by state actors\, grassroots movements\, and indigenous methodologies\, these initiatives seek to address the complexities of ecological change and economic security. This is particularly true for South and Southeast Asia\, where local ecological practices\, democratic urban planning\, gender empowerment\, and land governance are shaping the way forward. \nThe solutions to these challenges may involve a blend of diverse approaches that ensure equitable resource distribution\, resilience building\, financial instruments and sustainable economic development\, all while focusing on regional specificities. \nAgainst this backdrop\, we invite advanced doctoral students\, postdoctoral scholars\, and early career researchers to a three-day interdisciplinary conference\, with particular attention to South Asia and Southeast Asia\, to explore the following themes: \n\nSustainability and Resilience: Analyse the interconnectedness of ecological\, economic\, and demographic resilience\, focusing on how communities in South and Southeast Asia navigate ecological change and respond to its differential impacts\, including\, but not limited to\, the food production and consumption system\, urban and rural planning system\, disaster management\, management of flora and fauna\, and economic security.\nHuman-Environmental Interactions: Investigate the complex relationships between humans and their environments\, emphasising innovative approaches that incorporate indigenous and local knowledge to address ecological and economic security. Examples may involve but not restricted to practices such as community-led reforestation\, traditional water conservation\, sustainable fishing techniques\, and habitat restoration.\nLabour\, Climate Refugees\, and Ecological Change: Examine the linkages between ecological change and migration patterns\, particularly the implications for labour markets\, livelihoods\, and economic adaptation in the Global South. This could involve understanding climate-induced displacement\, shifts in labour market dynamics\, challenges within the informal sector\, and the redistribution of economic activities due to environmental changes.\nAI\, Economic Security\, and Ecological Change: Explore the role of artificial intelligence in predicting\, mitigating\, and managing the effects of ecological change\, particularly in the context of ecological resilience and economic security. Applications might include AI-driven early warning systems\, advanced climate modelling\, agriculture management\, and optimising energy use in rural and urban areas.\nEcological Change\, Social Security\, and Social Protection: Examine the impacts of ecological change on social security\, social protection and insurance systems\, focusing on the development of social protection and insurance mechanisms to address vulnerabilities and inequalities. This can be seen in initiatives like climate-related insurance\, healthcare schemes\, welfare programs for climate refugees\, disaster relief systems\, and social safety nets designed to protect at-risk communities.\nEcological Change and Legal Reform: Assess the legal reforms required to meet new demands for social security\, individual rights\, responsibilities\, and regulations in response to climate-related challenges. Potential areas of reform include land tenure adjustments\, environmental justice frameworks\, legal provisions for climate compensation\, and regulatory changes aimed at fostering climate adaptation.\nEcological Change and Financial Instruments: Examine financial instruments\, such as bonds or climate funds\, that are essential for supporting resilient initiatives and long-term sustainability efforts. Submissions under this theme may include green bonds\, carbon pricing strategies\, climate adaptation funding\, and investment in renewable energy infrastructure.\n\nWe encourage submissions that critically engage with theoretical frameworks\, offer new methodological approaches\, or present novel empirical findings relevant to these themes. \nAbstract Submission Guidelines: \nSubmit an extended abstract of up to 1\,000 words. The extended abstract should clearly align with one of the above themes and include theoretical considerations\, research questions\, methodology\, and preliminary findings. \nEligible participants include PhD scholars in the final stages of their research\, postdoctoral fellows\, and those within seven years of completing their PhD. \nFinancial Support: \nA limited number of travel and accommodation stipends are available for young scholars in the final year of their PhD and within seven years of completing their PhD. \nImportant Dates: \n\nCall for abstract closed: January 31st\, 2025\nNotification to the selection abstracts: February 15th\, 2025\nFull Paper Submission Deadline: May 15\, 2025\nNotification of Final Acceptance: May 25\, 2025\nConference Dates: July 14-16\, 2025\n\nFor any further information\, please contact us at southasia@youngscholarsinitiative.org \nOrganising Team \n\nSunanda Nair-Bidkar\, INET\nRekha Bhangaonkar and Shailaja Fennell\, University of Cambridge

SUMMARY:YSI @ 6th International Workshop On Demand-Led Growth: The green and demographic transitions
DESCRIPTION:The Keynesian and Latin America Working groups are happy to invite you to submit papers for the 6th International Workshop on Demand-Led Growth\, which will take place between July 14th and 17th 2025 in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil. \nThis year’s theme\, “The green and demographic transitions”\, is particularly relevant since sustainable development and the environmental implications of economic development have attracted increasing attention in the economic and policy debate. Particularly in relation to issues such as climate change\, resource depletion\, renewable energy\, and loss of biodiversity. \nThere is growing recognition that economic development must address environmental damage in order to achieve long-term sustainability by reducing carbon footprints\, promoting renewable energy and the responsible use of natural resources. In response\, governments and institutions are increasingly adopting green economic practices. At the same time\, there have been major demographic shifts in both advanced and developing countries. \nConventional economics frequently associates the green transition with market-driven policies\, incentives\, and the removal of so-called “interventionist distortions\,” while addressing the demographic transition through austerity measures. In contrast\, alternative approaches seek to integrate green and demographic transitions with demand-led growth\, emphasizing the development and coordination of public policies and the provision of public goods. \nTo explore these alternative perspectives\, we invite articles broadly addressing the following topics: \n • Demand-led growth and sustainable development;\n• Fiscal policy for the green transition;\n• Green finance and the role of central banks;\n• Climate change and the analysis of the decarbonization of the economy;\n• Input-output analysis of the green transition and structural change;\n• Carbon markets and taxation in demand-led growth models;\n• Demographic transition from a demand-led growth perspective. \nAll papers must be in English and include a title\, concise abstract (maximum 200 words)\, author’s name\, institutional affiliation\, and email address. We suggest that submitted papers adhere to a maximum word limit of 8000 words. \nIf your work is selected\, you will be invited to present at the event which is scheduled to occur from July 14 to 17. Selections will be based on merit\, and those chosen can expect to receive accommodation and a partial travel stipend. \n\n\n\n\nApply here for YSI support \nDeadline: 15th April 2025 \nAnd don’t forget to submit the paper to the conference’s website.

SUMMARY:YSI-RSA Webinar Series on Regional Inequalities and Perceived Left-Behindness
DESCRIPTION:The YSI Urban and Regional Economics\, and Behavior and Society Working Groups\, in partnership with the Regional Studies Association (RSA) invite students\, early scholars and all members to join the Webinar Series on Regional Inequalities and Perceived Left-Behindness. \n  \nThe objective is to explore the growing relevance of perceived left-behindness and subjective well-being in economics. Over four sessions\, we will delve into how feelings of relative deprivation\, spatial inequalities\, and socio-economic discontent are reshaping regional trajectories and influencing economic outcomes. By bringing together scholars working at the intersection of perception\, well-being\, and place\, the series aims to foster a deeper understanding of how these dimensions can enrich regional analysis\, inform policy\, and ultimately contribute to more inclusive territorial development. \n  \n4) November 12\, 2025 (15:00-16:00 CEST) – Policy\, Perception and Place: Rethinking Regional Development Strategies (Malin Roiha & Emma Fàbrega – European Social Research Unit & University of Barcelona\, Spain) \nConcluding the series\, this webinar will focus on how subjective indicators and local perceptions can be better integrated into policy-making. We’ll explore innovative approaches and the challenges of designing place-sensitive strategies that address both material and perceived inequalities. \n  \nPrevious sessions: \n  \n1) July 16\, 2025 (15:00-16:00 CEST) – Subjective well-being and spatial inequalities (Paolo Veneri – GSSI\, Italy) \nThe literature from the last decade has highlighted the paradox of urban well-being\, where cities offer economic advantages at a cost to residents’ life satisfaction. However\, this is not true everywhere. This webinar focuses on subjective well-being spatial differences and on the factors driving those differences. After accounting for observable individual characteristics\, evidence on the urban-rural gap in life satisfaction is provided across different world regions\, together with the factors associated with such gaps. Subsequently\, focusing on European cities\, we review how individual and city characteristics drive observed differences in life satisfaction\, drawing on novel empirical analysis and on the most recent contributions in the literature. \n  \n2) September 16\, 2025 (15:00-16:00 CEST) – Spatial imaginaries of ‘left behind places’ in policy discourse (Grete Gansauer – University of Wyoming\, US) \nThe “left behind place” is an emerging spatial imaginary which evokes an idealized set of social\, economic and political conditions assigned to a generalized type of place. This session will untangle how left-behindness is imagined and explore how spatial imaginaries manifest themselves in different regional and political discources. We’ll examine the roots of such perceptions\, their links to territorial inequalities\, and offer empirical insights into how spatial imaginaries of ‘left behind places’ shape regional development trajectories. \n  \n3) October 15\, 2025 (15:00-16:00 CEST) – Electoral outcomes as a form of discontent (Arndt Leininger – Chemnitz University of Technology\, Germany) \nThis session explores how electoral results can reflect underlying socio-economic and territorial discontent. Drawing on recent research\, the discussion will examine how votes for populist\, extremist\, or anti-establishment parties often signal perceived inequalities\, loss of status\, and a sense of being “left behind” among certain groups and regions. \n
