Call for Papers

The 15th Annual Conference of the European Society for the History of
Economic Thought (ESHET), 19-22 May 2011, Bogazici University, Istanbul.
(Conference web site: http://www.eshet2011.org/)
The Conference will be organized by the Bogazici University, Department
of Economics, and will be held at Bogazici University campus, Istanbul,
Turkey.
ESHET 2011 welcomes papers and proposed sessions in all areas of the
history of economic thought. To submit a proposal please send an
abstract of about 400 words for a paper and/or a proposal of about 600
words for a session (together with the abstracts of the session papers)
no later than the 15th December 2010.
There are two further features to the conference. Firstly, ESHET 2011
will host a special theme titled: “/Competition, Innovation and
Rivalry/” around which some plenary and special sessions will be
organized. Papers and session proposals concerning “/Competition,
Innovation and Rivalry/” are welcome and subject to the same submission
conditions as all other papers. The general motivation behind the
special theme is given below:
/“Competition, Innovation and Rivalry”
/
The way in which innovation has been described, categorised,
contextualised and theorised by various figures as well as schools of
thought in the discipline of economics warrants a thorough investigation
from a history of economic thought perspective. Although it is a truism
that some approaches in economics by focusing on the conditions of
allocating resources efficiently within a static framework failed to
consider innovation properly, other approaches by underscoring the
evolutionary characteristics of the economy, and thus by paying
attention to dynamic efficiency, aimed at shedding light on innovation
in an explicit manner. Knowledge and entrepreneurship standing as
natural ingredients of innovation, much debate has been devoted to the
roles played by competition, rivalry and collaboration among economic
actors. A corollary of this debate has been on the characterisation of
different economic systems in boosting or hampering innovation.
Despite the lack of consensus about the causes as well as the
consequences of innovation, many different fields in mainstream
economics and many heterodox approaches have generated invaluable
insights. Keeping track of all the different developments is certainly
challenging, but focusing on the key aspects as of how the history of
economic thought may further investigate the topic is feasible and thus
constitutes the subject matter of the 2011 Conference. We are interested
in papers that expose the history of economic ideas concerning
innovation, competition and rivalry as well as papers that provide a
historical or methodological perspective concerning methodological,
ideological and political debates which evolved around these concepts.
*Reach-out Sessions:* The second feature of this conference is that we
would like to encourage the organisation of sessions in which historians
of economics meet economic theorists, economic historians, sociologists,
historians of science, political scientists and scholars from other
areas of the social sciences. Ideally we would like the organisers of
such sessions to enlist the people from the other disciplines but we
would also be happy to work with specific proposals even if there are no
specific names attached.
