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.
