CALL FOR PAPERS
ELEVENTH ANNUAL EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON
THE HISTORY OF ECONOMICS (ECHE 2006)
�cole normale sup�rieure de Cachan
Cachan, France
19-21 October 2006
Economics and Place
It is common to refer to regional or national
traditions in the history of economics. Whether
one speaks of the Austrian school, the Chicago
school, the fight between the two Cambridges, or
Swedish economics, there is an implied suggestion
that specific locations play a significant role
in the making of economic discourse. While its
effects and manifestations are widely
acknowledged and often taken for granted, the
process itself is rarely investigated.
The purpose of this conference will be to explore
the geographies of economics throughout time.
Potential areas that might be examined include,
but are by no means limited to, the following:
- How have local, regional and national spaces
shaped the theoretical work of economics?
- How does economic science acquire universality?
And how does globalization of knowledge influence
the making of economics at the local, regional
and national levels?
- What difference does it make for economic
science to be produced in different spatial
settings such as, for example, a laboratory,
university office, salon, research center,
classroom, library or at home?
- How important are the various spaces in the
reception (acceptance or rejection) of ideas and
more generally in the diffusion of knowledge?
- How is scientific endeavor influenced by geographical displacement?
Proposals should contain roughly 1000 words,
indicating the originality of the paper and
stating how it contributes to the conference
theme. Proposals from doctoral students are
welcome. The deadline for the submission of paper
proposals is December 31, 2005. Proposals will be
evaluated by mid-January, and completed papers
will be due by June 30, 2006. At this stage,
another evaluation will take place on the basis
of full papers. Final notification will be given
by the end of July, and the conference itself
will take place on 19-21 October 2006.
The organizing committee consists of Jos� Lu�s
Cardoso (Technical University of Lisbon),
Philippe Fontaine (�cole normale sup�rieure de
Cachan) and Robert Leonard (Universit� du Qu�bec
� Montr�al). All proposals and requests for
information should be sent by e-mail to:
