European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE) 2006 Conference  
2-4 November 2006  
Istanbul, Turkey  
  
Institutional History of Economics Research Area  
  
CALL FOR PAPERS  
  
  
EAEPE's Institutional History of Economics Research Area invites   
paper proposals that contribute to one of its following seven   
theoretical perspectives:  
  
(1) The approach to analysis is based on an evaluation of relevant  
tendencies and linkages in actual economics - instead of a methodology  
that sanctifies fictions and diverts attention from the difficult task  
of analyzing the practice and culture of economics.  
  
(2) The analysis is open-ended and interdisciplinary in that it draws upon  
relevant material in psychology, anthropology, politics, and history -  
instead of a definition of history of economics in terms of a rigid  
method that is applied indiscriminately to a wide variety of economic  
approaches.  
  
(3) The conception of economics is of a cumulative and evolutionary process  
unfolding in historical time in which economists are faced with chronic  
information problems and radical uncertainty about the future - instead  
of approaches to theorizing that focus exclusively on the product of  
this process.  
  
(4) The concern is to address and encompass the interactive, social process  
through which economics is formed and changed - instead of a  
theoretical framework that takes economists and their interests as  
given.  
  
(5) It is appropriate to regard economics itself as a social institution,  
necessarily supported by a network of other social institutions -  
instead of an orientation that takes economics itself as an ideal or  
natural order and as a mere aggregation of individual economists.  
  
(6) It is evaluated how the socio-economic system is embedded in a complex  
ecological and environmental system - instead of a widespread tendency  
to ignore ecological and environmental considerations or consequences  
in the history of economics.  
  
(7) The inquiry seeks to contribute not only to history of economics but  
also to economics - instead of an orthodox outlook that ignores the  
possibility of such cross-fertilization.  
  
Preference will be given to original accounts, based on detailed   
archival or other research, aimed at yielding rich, sophisticated,   
understandings. Hence, papers that "do it" instead of those that   
"talk about doing it" are favored.  
  
To participate, please submit a proposal containing 600-1000 words   
and indicating clearly the sense in which the paper contributes to   
one of the theoretical perspectives of the research area.  
  
The deadline for the submission of paper proposals is 15 APRIL 2006.   
Notice of acceptance or rejection will be sent on or before 15 MAY   
2006. Completed papers are due on 31 AUGUST 2006.
