SUMMARY:PhD and Early Career Paper Development Workshop: Regional Inequalities and Perceived Left-Behindness
DESCRIPTION:Academic and policymakers have highlighted interpersonal and interterritorial inequalities as key factors behind rising feelings of discontent and left-behindness across different types of territories\, including rural and urban areas.  \nThis two-day workshop will bring together senior scholars and young researchers to examine the drivers of life satisfaction and dissatisfaction\, the construction of narratives and spatial imaginaries of ‘left-behind regions’\, and alternative expressions of discontent. Participants will explore how inequality\, economic restructuring\, social identities\, and policy frameworks shape subjective well-being across diverse populations\, as well as the emotional and material implications of perceived marginalisation.  \nDuring the workshop\, senior scientists will provide young scholars with the latest insights into ongoing and top-level research in the field and discuss their work. \n  \nObjectives:  \n\nTo deepen understanding of life satisfaction\, discontent\, and left-behindness from a multidisciplinary perspective.\nTo explore how socioeconomic inequalities influence subjective well-being in various contexts (urban/rural\, national/cross-national).\nTo foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between senior scholars and early-career researchers in the field.\nGiving participants the opportunity to present\, discuss and get extensive feedback on their on-going work.\nFacilitating networking among young scholars and make their voices and ideas visible within the discourse.\nTo encourage the development of new research directions\, policy implications\, and interventions.\n\nResearch themes:  \n\nTheorisations and empirical manifestations of perceived left-behindness\nRegional discontent and perceived marginalisation\nRural–urban disparities in life satisfaction and well-being\nAlternative expressions and dimensions of discontent\nConstruction and circulation of narratives and spatial imaginaries of ‘left-behind regions’\nMaterial\, emotional\, and policy implications of spatial imaginaries and feelings of exclusion\nPolicy responses and best-practice initiatives aimed at addressing left-behindness\n\nTarget Audience:  \nYoung scholars (PhD Students and Early Career Researchers) who are committed to interdisciplinary research\, especially bridging a gap between topics\, are strongly encouraged to apply. \n  \nConfirmed Speakers: \n\nAndrés Rodríguez-Pose | Princesa de Asturias Chair and Professor of Economic Geography Department of Geography and Environment – The London School of Economics and Political Science\nSimona Iammarino | Professor of Applied Economics – Gran Sasso Science Institute\nStefania Fiorentino | Associate Professor in Planning and Urban Regeneration – University of Cambridge\n\nApplication Process: \nStep 1: Interested PhD Students and Early Career Researchers (5 years from PhD) are invited to submit an extended abstract (between 500 and 1\,000 words in PDF format\, using standard academic formatting) until the 1st of March 2026). \nAbstracts will be selected based on clarity\, relevance\, originality\, suitability with the overall workshop theme and (preliminary) results. We will inform all applicants by the 16th of March about the outcome of the selection process and subsequently invite the selected young scholars to proceed to Step 2. \nStep 2: The selected young scholars are expected to submit a full working paper version of their research (between 5\,000 and 8\,000 words\, inclusive of abstract\, references\, figure/table captions and endnotes) until the 20th of April 2026. Only participants who submit a full paper will be able to join the workshop. All paper presenters will also be assigned as discussants for another paper. \n  \nFinancial Support: \n\nWe aim to make the workshop as inclusive as possible for PhD students and Early Careers. The workshop will therefore be free of charge.\nThe event will offer financial support for selected participants if needed\, specifically: Partial stipend for accommodation and/or partial travel stipend. The level of support will depend on the available budget.\nAs co-financing for travel expenses with participant’s own resources is expected\, we also encourage an early application to the wide range of external opportunities for small travel grants.\n\n  \nSpecial issue: \nThere is an ongoing Call for Papers for the Special Issue in Regional Studies “Spatial inequalities and feelings of left-behindness: perceptions\, imaginaries\, and policy responses”. Participants in the workshop are encouraged to consider submitting their work to this Special Issue. While presentation at the workshop does not guarantee acceptance\, the sessions will offer an opportunity to receive valuable feedback that may help strengthen their manuscripts prior to submission. \nScientific Committee: \nFabiano Compagnucci\, Alessandra Faggian\, Giulia Urso and Paolo Veneri

SUMMARY:Rethinking Capitalism and Economic Order VI
DESCRIPTION:The History of Economic Thought Working Group and East Asia Working Group of the Young Scholars Initiative is launching a webinar series that brings critical attention to the idea\, practice\, and evolution of capitalism. This project aims to reconnect the history of economic ideas with the world they sought to describe\, reform\, or transform. Capitalism is not just an economic system; it is a lived experience\, a political project\, and an ideological battleground. \n  \nWe seek to open a conversation about capitalism as it has been theorised\, imagined\, and contested across historical periods and geographies. From early critiques of enclosures and slavery\, to colonial accumulation and contemporary platform economies\, capitalism’s forms have shifted\, but its underlying logics—commodification\, accumulation\, exclusion—continue to shape our worlds. \n  \nThis series will invite senior scholars who work across traditions—Marxist\, classical\, feminist\, ecological\, decolonial—to speak to these shifting realities. Our goal is not to arrive at a unified definition of capitalism\, but to stay with its plurality. What is the nature of capitalism in our time? What kind of capitalism is being debated in different contexts? What kind of resistance does it provoke? How do economic theories shape their justification or critique? \n  \nOur approach to history foregrounds tension\, silence\, and the politics of knowledge. The HET WG places special emphasis on themes like decolonisation\, pluralism\, epistemic difference\, and the often under-acknowledged intellectual contributions from the Global South. We invite our participants to think about histories of caste\, race\, gender\, and land\, alongside more familiar categories such as markets\, property\, and the state. \nKey areas of focus include: \n\nHistories of capitalism across continents: not just as diffusion from Europe\, but as co-productions and frictions and histories of capitalism have their centres spreading across the globe\, not only in the WEST but in the EAST too\, from Malacca\, Hugli\, Calicut\, Macao\, Nagasaki\, Pegu to Batavia\, to name a few.\nCapitalism’s relationship with colonialism\, racialisation\, and dispossession\nProperty regimes\, financial architectures\, and state-market entanglements\nTrade\, Tariffs and Wars\nDebates on crisis: inflation\, debt\, austerity\, climate collapse\nIntellectual genealogies: from Marx and Gandhi to Du Bois\, Luxemburg\, Fanon\, and Polanyi\nThe metabolism of capital and planetary boundaries\nThe role of economics as a discipline in naturalising or resisting capitalist logics\n\nThis series is not an attempt to replace critique with nostalgia or celebration. Instead\, we want to create a space where histories of capitalism can inform strategies for its transformation or transcendence. Theories of capitalism are not just descriptions; they are interventions. We hope to create a space where critique and imagination work in tandem. \n  \nProf. Fabio Masini\, Department of Political Science – Roma Tre University\n  \nTrump’s Challenges to the Global Order and the Making of a New Europe\, Tuesday\, 12 May 2026\, 9:00 AM EST\n  \nThe evolving shocks that hit the global economy since the covid pandemic are now being precipitated by Trump’s attacks to multilateralism\, supported by an increasingly oligopolistic capitalism in key areas on the frontier of production possibilities. The support for stablecoins and the veto against the use of CBDCs is a further step in an attempt to redesign the international economy.\n  \n\nEurope\, being among the most vulnerable continents\, despite its process of economic and monetary integration\, is now facing the end of its typical growth model\, pursued in the last few decades\, which relied on the USA for security\, on Russia for low-cost energy\, and on China for low-cost imports and a market for exports. These pillars are now being challenged. The European growth model needs being re-thought.\n  \nI shall highlight a few directions that the EU might embrace if it wants to resist the trend towards the increasing weaponization of the economic infrastructures and currencies\, contributing to a new\, less conflictual\, international order. Among them: a multilayered industrial and economic policy\, the focus on the production and financing of European public goods\, and a greater international role of the euro.\n  \nSpeaker’s Bio\n  \nFabio Masini is Professor of Theories and History of International Political Economy and Jean Monnet Chair in European Economic Governance at the University of Roma Tre. He is the Director of the SEI Lab\, Studies in the Economics of Interdependence and Secretary General of Robert Triffin International. He is also the Editor of the journal History of Economic Thought and Policy. \n

SUMMARY:Dependency Theory: Contemporary Relevance and Challenges in the Current Global Crisis
DESCRIPTION:INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR (HYBRID) \nDependency Theory: Contemporary Relevance and Challenges in the Current Global Crisis \n11–13 May 2026 \nFrom 9am (4pm) to 4pm (11pm) – Mexico City time (Portugal/UK Time) \n(A bi-continental meeting: Europe–Latin America and the Caribbean) \nInstitutional Organisers: \n\nNational Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) – México\nFaculty of Economics of University of Coimbra (FEUC); Centre for Social Studies (CES); University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE); Lisbon School of Economics and Management (ISEG) – Portugal\nAssociation for Heterodox Economics (AHE) – United Kingdom\nLatin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO)\nUniversity of Buenos Aires (UBA) – Argentina\nLatin American Studies (LAS) of the Leiden University – Netherlands\nEuropean Association of Development Research and Training Institute (EADI)\nYoung Scholar Initiative of the Institute for New Economic Thinking (YSI-INET)\n\nIntroduction \nIn a context shaped by the reconfiguration of the world order\, the intensification of geopolitical disputes\, the structural financialisation of the economy\, the ecological crisis\, and the deepening of social inequalities\, Dependency Theory has once again become an indispensable perspective for understanding the dynamics of contemporary capitalism. Far from constituting a closed chapter in Latin American thought\, the dependency approach offers decisive analytical tools for interpreting the current global crisis and its implications for Latin America and the Caribbean. \nThis international seminar\, bi-continental in scope and held in a hybrid format\, brings together leading scholars with the aim of debating the contemporary relevance\, renewal\, and future trajectory of Dependency Theory in the twenty-first century. \nWithin this framework\, the programme will also include the presentation of Decolonizing Economics: An Introduction (Devika Dutt\, Carolina Alves\, Surbhi Kesar\, and Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven). The book examines the Eurocentric foundations that have shaped the economics discipline and constrained its capacity to engage with phenomena such as structural racism\, uneven development\, the climate crisis\, and labour relations. It proposes “decolonising” economics by challenging the norms of neutrality and objectivity from which the discipline often claims to speak\, and by opening space for approaches that take structural power\, exploitation\, and colonial legacies seriously. This session will include discussion by leading thinkers from the Latin American tradition of Dependency Theory and is conceived as a direct dialogue with the seminar’s thematic strands—particularly in rethinking the political economy of global capitalism from non-Eurocentric frameworks. \nThematic strands \nStrand 1. The historical development and contemporary relevance of Dependency Theory \nThis strand addresses the historical development and contemporary relevance of Dependency Theory\, examining its main analytical categories\, internal debates\, and explanatory power in the face of recent transformations in global capitalism. \nStrand 2. (Neo-)imperialisms\, geopolitical tensions\, and international economic relations from a dependency perspective \nThis strand analyses (neo-)imperialisms\, geopolitical tensions\, and international economic relations from a dependency perspective\, interrogating global power configurations\, inter-power rivalry\, and the place of the periphery within the emerging world architecture. \nStrand 3. New theoretical and methodological horizons: Dependency Theory as a framework for the contemporary world structure \nThis strand explores new theoretical and methodological horizons to consolidate Dependency Theory as an analytical framework for today’s world structure\, engaging with debates on financialisation\, extractivism\, global value chains\, the ecological crisis\, and transformations of work. \nMore than a commemorative exercise\, this seminar advances a strategic discussion: to think dependency today is to think about the conditions of possibility for sovereignty\, development\, and emancipation in a contested world. \nLatin American Speakers: \n\nAdrián Sotelo\, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)\nAna Grondona\, University of Buenos Aires (UBA)\nClaudio Katz\, University of Buenos Aires (UBA)\nDiego Giller\, National University of General Sarmiento (UNGS)\nEmir Sader\, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ)\nFacundo Lastra\, IIES – National University of the South*\nJosé G.
