Activities

On October 31, 2009, the IPE Program will host a workshop on the global implications of the Great Meltdown of 2008-2009. The workshop will feature eight thematic papers that focus on how middle-income and developing countries are affected by a financial crisis that is largely external to them. Its attendees will include such experts as Rick Doner (Emory), Ilene Grabel (University of Denver), and Ramakishen Rajan (George Mason). The workshop will aim to produce high-quality original research on an important issue for contemporary politics, with the goal of publishing the papers as an edited volume in a university press.
