SUMMARY:Industrial Policy\, Power\, and Development in a Fragmented Global Economy
DESCRIPTION:This project consists of a joint seminar organized by the IIPPE Political Economy of Industrial Development Working Group and the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI) States and Markets Working Group\, to be held on Wednesday 9 September 2026\, on the first day of the IIPPE Annual Conference in Lisbon. \nThe seminar will feature a keynote talk by Tilman Altenburg\, a leading scholar in the field of political economy and industrial development. The talk will address contemporary debates on industrial policy\, development strategies\, and the role of the state in a context of global fragmentation\, geopolitical tensions\, and technological transitions. The event aims to foster dialogue between senior and early-career researchers\, linking theoretical perspectives with ongoing empirical and policy-oriented discussions. \nThe project is closely aligned with the theme of the IIPPE 2026 Annual Conference\, “Capitalism Moving Beyond Neoliberalism: Crises\, Changes\, and What Comes Next.” The conference framing highlights how the post-1980 neoliberal configuration—built around financialization\, “free markets\,” limited fiscal activism\, and globalized production patterns—has been increasingly destabilized by multiple crises\, especially since the Global Financial Crisis and more sharply in recent years. It points to major shifts such as the renewed use of fiscal policy\, the return of developmental and industrial policies\, and the growing emphasis on “onshoring” and strategic restructuring of production\, even as financialization persists in new forms. By focusing on industrial policy\, state strategies\, and development in a fragmented and conflictual global economy\, this seminar directly contributes to the conference’s central question about whether—and how—contemporary capitalism is moving beyond neoliberalism\, and what political-economic configurations may be emerging. \nIn addition to the keynote seminar\, the project includes the support of a limited number of travel stipends for early-career scholars. The selected presenters will actively participate in the IIPPE Working Group sessions during the conference\, presenting their research and engaging in the broader academic discussions of the Working Group\, in addition to attending the keynote seminar. \nThe initiative is designed to strengthen the integration of early-career researchers into the IIPPE community by encouraging sustained participation in Working Group activities\, networking with senior scholars\, and the development of longer-term research exchanges.

SUMMARY:Where is Heterodox Economics Today
DESCRIPTION:Various institiutions and organisations are working to ensure heteredox economics and political eocnomy continue to be taught to a new generation of students and the broader public. Attempts are also continually made to bring together such networks. We would like to run a 2 part workshop\, combining an interactive workshop and a panel discussion. The workshop would be run in small groups by 2-3 facilitators. The aim would be to share the different barriers faced in studying\, teaching\, and publishing pluralist thought. We expect small breakout groups with guided informal discussions and activities. Next\, the panel discussion would include three scholars from diverse backgrounds at different stages in the struggle for heterodox economics education. It would be include panelists form and be chaired by early careers scholars. Our motivation is to bring together people from the different IIPPE working groups the day before the separate streams begin\, in order to discuss broadly and openly the role we can play in keeping pluralist econ alive in the face of funding cuts and institutional pressure. We would end with facilitated group discussion bringing together everyone in the room to build international solidarities and strategise.
