SUMMARY:XIX Jornadas de Economía Crítica y VIII Jornadas de Economía Feminista
DESCRIPTION:Las XIX Jornadas de Economía Crítica (JEC) y las VIII Jornadas de Economía Feminista (JEF) constituyen un evento académico integrado\, organizado por la Sociedad de Economía Crítica (SEC)\, una red conformada por docentes\, investigadores/as\, graduados/as y estudiantes de Argentina y Uruguay. El objetivo general es promover y consolidar una perspectiva plural en las ciencias económicas\, fomentando el diálogo interdisciplinario frente a las problemáticas socioeconómicas contemporáneas y fortaleciendo el enfoque de género en la disciplina. \nDesde hace más de 15 años\, las JEC se han consolidado como un espacio fundamental para el desarrollo de las ciencias económicas\, fomentando la reflexión crítica sobre los enfoques dominantes de la disciplina. Asimismo\, con la incorporación de las JEF en 2019\, el evento ha priorizado la integración de la perspectiva de género en la investigación económica. Cada año\, el encuentro propone a los y las participantes asistir a conferencias y mesas de debate sobre temas económicos de coyuntura\, construir conocimiento novedoso y crítico a partir de la presentación de trabajos\, analizar los problemas socioeconómicos contemporáneos desde enfoques teóricos alternativos a la economía ortodoxa.  \nTemas que se abordarán: El evento promoverá una diversidad de miradas sobre problemáticas socioeconómicas actuales y discusiones teóricas tanto de la disciplina económica como de otras ciencias sociales. Entre los principales ejes de debate se incluyen: \n\nEconomía feminista\, organización social del cuidado y diseño de políticas públicas.\nMercados laborales\, desigualdad y transformaciones en la división internacional del trabajo.\nTransición ecológica\, políticas industriales y modelos de desarrollo en América Latina.\nDesarrollo periférico\, financiarización y el rol de las plataformas digitales.\nHistoria del pensamiento económico y epistemología en las ciencias sociales.\n\n¿Quiénes están involucrados? El evento reúne a una amplia comunidad académica y social. Participarán investigadores/as\, docentes y estudiantes de diversos países. Además\, las jornadas contarán con la presencia de destacados/as conferencistas invitados/as\, tanto del ámbito nacional como del exterior\, especializados/as en economía política\, economía feminista y desarrollo crítico. \nEl evento se desarrollará de forma presencial del 1 al 3 de octubre de 2026 en la  Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR). Quienes asistan podrán participar en tres formatos principales: \n\nConferencias centrales: Exposiciones magistrales a cargo de invitados/as especiales\, seguidas de espacios de interacción.\nSimposios y mesas de trabajo: Espacios en simultáneo para la presentación de ponencias abocadas a debatir temáticas especializadas.\nTalleres: Espacios con una lógica participativa donde se plantearán consignas para promover el intercambio y el debate entre los/as asistentes.\n\nSerá\, además\, un punto de encuentro fundamental para promover la articulación\, las alianzas y la solidaridad entre jóvenes investigadores/as\, movimientos feministas y distintos grupos regionales. \nEn su última edición presencial (2025)\, realizada en la Universidad Nacional del Sur\, el evento evidenció su consolidación regional al contar con 200 participantes registrados de Argentina y países como Brasil\, Chile\, Colombia\, México y Uruguay\, entre otros. En dicha ocasión\, la estructura de trabajo permitió el desarrollo de 3 paneles centrales\, la presentación de más de 100 ponencias originales organizadas en 25 mesas temáticas\, complementadas con 6 espacios de talleres y conversatorios

The school is grounded in the Latin American structuralist tradition\, while engaging contemporary debates on macroeconomics\, inequality\, industrial policy\, democracy\, and environmental sustainability. The program will feature the participation of globally recognized scholars and leading voices in development debates\, including keynote contributions by internationally renowned academics. \nThe motivation of the school stems from both an intellectual conviction and a political urgency. Latin American development continues to be shaped by persistent technological\, territorial\, and distributive gaps that cannot be overcome through market forces alone. At the same time\, the limits and tensions of recent progressive government experiences call for an updated development agenda—one that combines analytical rigor\, empirical evidence\, and critical self-reflection to confront external constraints\, productivity challenges\, social inequality\, and ecological transitions. \nBuilding on two key antecedents: the international seminar “Rethinking Development in Latin America and the Caribbean from Mexico” (2024) and the first edition of the Summer School held in 2025. The 2026 edition will take place in Buenos Aires\, hosted by the Universidad Nacional de San Martín (UNSAM). The school is an in-person only program. The program will be structured around thematic axes including economic theory and macro-trends; growth\, macroeconomics\, and structural change; fiscal policy and tax justice; innovation\, industrial policy\, and international trade; environment and development; democracy and development; and the history of Latin American economic thought. \nAcademic activities will combine lectures and conference-debates by senior scholars and policymakers\, interactive classes\, applied workshops (including AI and machine learning tools for research\, and energy and sustainability indicators)\, and a field visit to observe territorial scientific and technological capabilities. The school deliberately promotes dialogue across disciplines and sectors\, bringing together economists\, social scientists\, policymakers\, public officials\, labor representatives\, business actors\, and civil society organizations. \nA strategic objective of the school is to function as a laboratory for 21st-century development policy in Latin America: training young researchers and technical cadres capable of connecting theory\, data\, and real-world policy challenges; incubating research projects and policy notes oriented toward action; and fostering an interdisciplinary and intergenerational community committed to rethinking development from the region. \nHow to Apply\nApplications to the Summer School: Rethinking Development in Latin America III will be open to graduate students (Master’s and PhD)\, early-career researchers\, and practitioners from economics and related social sciences\, with a strong interest in development\, political economy\, and public policy in Latin America. \nThe program will be conducted in Spanish and English. Applicants are expected to have working proficiency in both languages\, as lectures\, classes\, and discussions will take place in either language throughout the program. \nInterested applicants will be required to submit an online application including: \n\n\na letter of reference from an academic supervisor or institutional mentor (such as a thesis advisor\, fellowship supervisor\, or research director)\, \n\n\na brief CV\, \n\n\nand a short description of current or planned research projects. \n\n\nApplications will be evaluated on the basis of academic background\, relevance of research interests to the themes of the school\, and the potential contribution to a plural and interdisciplinary learning environment. The selection process aims to ensure diversity in terms of disciplinary backgrounds\, countries\, and institutional affiliations. \nSelected participants from outside the Buenos Aires metropolitan area will receive accommodation coverage and partial financial support for travel expenses\, subject to the availability of funds. \nExtended Deadline for Applications\nWe are pleased to announce that the application deadline for the Summer School: Rethinking Development in Latin America III has been extended to May 30\, 2026. We encourage graduate students and early-career researchers with an interest in development economics\, political economy\, and public policy in Latin America to take advantage of this additional time to submit their applications. Selected participants from outside the Buenos Aires metropolitan area will receive financial support to cover accommodation and travel expenses. \nThe program is structured around three thematic weeks taking place from October 5 to 23\, 2026\, in Buenos Aires. The first week explores geopolitics and the history of development\, covering comparative economic history\, the evolution of structuralist thought\, and data tools for academic research. The second week addresses macroeconomics\, growth\, distribution\, and sustainability\, examining the tensions between stabilization and structural transformation\, fiscal policy\, and green political economy. The third week focuses on reindustrialization\, financing\, and digitalization\, with sessions on comparative industrial policy experiences across Argentina\, Brazil\, Chile\, and Mexico\, as well as the role of artificial intelligence in development strategies\, including a special session hosted at the offices of CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean. The program also includes an industrial immersion day in Mar del Plata and a closing policy laboratory session. \nThe school will bring together a distinguished and diverse faculty\, including Mario Cimoli (Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna)\, Matías Kulfas (UNSAM)\, Christian Asinelli (CAF)\, Andrea Roventini\, Martín Rapetti (UBA/CONICET)\, Gabriel Porcile (Universidad de la República)\, Nelson Barbosa (former Minister of Finance\, Brazil)\, Wilson Peres\, Pablo Gerchunoff\, Joao Carlos Ferraz\, Marcelo Rougier\, Daniel Schteingart\, Valentina Arza\, Pablo Bello\, and many others. The school is jointly organized by YSI-INET\, CAF\, Open Society Foundations\, the Universidad Nacional de San Martín (Argentina)\, and the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (Mexico).

SUMMARY:Contours Of Conflict in Africa: Economics and the Contradictions of Liberation in Southern and Central Africa
DESCRIPTION:Conflict has been central in the long and chequered history of state-making in Africa. The creation of artificial borders\, new monetary regimes and trade patterns from the 1500s occurred not without conflict and resistance amongst and between various population groups. The colonial plunder of African resources and relegation of Africans to the margins of the capitalist economy\, as well as making Africans providers of menial\, indentured/slave/unpaid/underpaid labour\, also caused conflict. The ensuing liberation wars arising from such colonial domination and change ignited fierce resistance from colonial powers. To this day\, decolonisation has existed in name as Africans continue to contend with the enduring legacies of colonial rule. Roaring among such legacies are conflicts of scarcity and inequality manifest on two parallel planes. Neocolonialism has reared its head as African countries chase economic development\, and resource distribution in regional and international institutions remains uneven\, causing enduring silent conflicts. In the case of countries in West Africa\, for example\, neocolonialism has not been silent at all\, with the blatant involvement of countries of the North in violent resource conflicts and civil wars. On a second plane is an equally dangerous legacy borne of the othering by liberation movements. A legacy that alienates the masses to create room for the supposed liberation war heroes to eat from the feeding trough. It has manifested in ethnic tensions\, authoritarian regimes\, civil and transnational wars\, and conflicts over natural resources and land. The threat to global peace due to the cyclical pattern of varied forms of scarcity and inequality breeding conflict and conflict breeding lack\, societal and moral decay\, vulnerability of mainly women and children has caused widespread intervention from international [e.g. United Nations (UN) and European Union (EU)] and regional organisations [e.g. African Union(AU)\, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)\, and Southern African Development Community (SADC)] aimed at conflict resolution\, with varying degrees of success. To decipher the contours of conflict that have influenced African history and reshaped historical narratives\, the International Studies group of the University of the Free State and the Young Scholars Initiative will host a history bootcamp in Bloemfontein\, South Africa\, from 28 to 30 October 2026. The boot camp proposes relooking at African conflicts as\, among other things\, extensions and manifestations of local and international dominance\, expressions of scarcity\, subaltern voices\, and quests for emancipation. \nWe therefore invite abstracts on the subjects listed below. However\, papers tackling interesting aspects of conflict with a particular focus on Southern and Central Africa will be welcomed.\n1. War and economic change\n2. Trade and conflict\n3. Natural resource conflict\,\n4. Conflicts arising from land and agrarian reform\n5. Regional and international organisations in African conflicts\n6. Transnational conflicts/Conflicts between states\n7. War and military technology in Africa\n8. Forced displacements\n9. Women and Children in Conflict Situations\n10. Peacekeeping\, peacebuilding and conflict resolution\n11. Personalities in African conflicts \nUpon selection of abstracts\, participants will be required to send complete draft papers following the style of the Southern Journal of Contemporary History. Final selection for attendance at the Bootcamp will be based on the quality of the draft papers. Successful papers will be published in a special issue of the Southern Journal of Contemporary History with Dr Mutale Tinamou Mazimba and Dr Geraldine Sibanda as guest editors. Successful articles and additional contributions will also be featured in an edited volume.\nEarly career scholars are PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows with less than two publications in peer-reviewed academic journals. Participation in the Bootcamps is open to non-historians\, provided that the proposed paper addresses the general theme of the Bootcamp and reflects historical methods. Participants must be based in institutions on the African continent. Limited funding is available for travel and accommodation.\nDeadline for Abstract Submission: 15 May 2026\nSubmission of selected Draft papers: 30 June 2026\nFinal selection: 30 July 2026 \nFor questions\, contact isgbootcamp3@gmail.com. \n

SUMMARY:The Circulation of Economic Ideas in the Iberian World (18th–20th Centuries)
DESCRIPTION:The workshop will take place at the University of Seville in Seville\, Spain on December 2\, 2026\, the day before the XIII Meeting of the Iberian Association for the History of Economic Thought. In partnership with the Latin American Association of History of Economic Thought (ALAHPE) and the Iberian Association of History of Economic Thought (AIHPE)\, this project seeks to advance research on the production\, circulation\, and reception of economic ideas in the Iberian world\, with particular attention to the historical connections between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. To this end\, we propose a transdisciplinary approach centered on the relationship between the dissemination of economic knowledge and the exercise of political power. The aim of this proposal is to explore: (1) how certain ideas become consolidated as dominant approaches in the theoretical and political debates of different regions; (2) how they connect with economic policy\, institutions\, governments\, elites\, and power groups; (3) how they are disseminated; (4) how they are received\, reinterpreted\, adapted\, or imposed in territories with autochthonous social\, cultural\, and institutional characteristics\, and (5) how those ideas\, in turn\, reverberate within and reshape these contexts. The workshop will provide a unique opportunity for participants to engage with new topics\, perspectives\, methods\, and insights\, while fostering long-term intellectual exchange among scholars from Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. \n  \nParticipants  \nThe organizers will select five young scholars\, including Master’s students\, PhD candidates\, and postdoctoral fellows whose research addresses the History of Economic Thought in Latin America or the Iberian Peninsula\, the dissemination of economic ideas to or from either region\, or the intellectual and political connections between the two. Participants will have the opportunity to deliver presentations of their research projects or working papers and receive feedback from senior scholars. \nAccommodation for the workshop and the first day of XIII AIHPE Meeting (3 Dec.) will be provided free of charge\, and funding to cover the transportation costs of participants will also be available on a case by-case-basis—depending on the country of residence. \n  \nHow to apply \nIf you are interested in attending the workshop\, you should: \n\nbe a young scholar (Master and PhD students\, post-docs\, and early career scholars);\nbe a member of the YSI History of Economic Thought Working Group\nattend the XIII Meeting of the Iberian Association for the History of Economic Thought.\nsubmit a brief bio (max 150 words) and a short abstract (max 300 words ) of your research to this form by June 30. Note that applying to the workshop and applying to the conference are separate procedures.\nProposals can be sent in Spanish\, Portuguese or English.\n\nApplicants will receive a response by the end of July at the latest.

SUMMARY:4th Southeast Asia Economic Research and Development Conference
DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers\n  \n4th Southeast Asia Economic Research and Development Conference (SAERD 2026)\n  \nHost/Strategic Partner: Agricultural and Rural Development Bank (ARDB)\, Cambodia —  Akkak Pundit Sapheachar Aun Pornmoniroth Center (APM Center)\nCo-organisers: Young Scholars Initiative (YSI)\, Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET)\, Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia (PUC) – Siem Reap Campus; Cambodia Development Resource Institute (CDRI) \n  \nDate: 3-4 December 2026\nVenue: PUC – Siem Reap Campus\, Krong Siem Reap\, Cambodia\nFormat: Two-day conference + parallel two-day Master’s Thesis Development Workshop \n  \nAbout SAERD 2026\nSoutheast Asia is experiencing rapid and uneven socio-economic change shaped by structural transformation\, widening inequality\, demographic shifts\, climate vulnerability\, pressures on land and natural resources\, and the uneven impacts of digitalisation on economic life and public service delivery. These dynamics raise urgent questions about emerging growth pathways\, the distribution of risk across households\, firms\, and territories\, and the institutional and fiscal capacities required for social protection\, climate resilience\, and inclusive development.
