The Italian Association for the History of Economic Thought (AISPE) and the Italian Society of Economic Historians (SISE) invite economic historians and the academic communities of historians, economists, and other scholars in the humanities and the political and social sciences to submit proposals for a conference on the history of mobility and circulation of resources, people and ideas.
Possible topics to be addressed are:
· The creation of areas of influence (empires; colonies; communities)
· The international spread of forms of economic organization (banking laws; commercial reforms; exploitation codes; models of governance; techniques of accounting, management and finance)
· Infrastructures and transport systems and the reproduction of exchange circuits
· The sea and the maritime space as an instrument of affirmation and diffusion of the spatial hierarchies of power
· Migration and the transformation of labor regimes and business activities
· Finance and the construction of empires, zones of influence and forms of conditionality
· Diasporas as channels for the transmission of ideas, economic activities, social innovations
· The contamination between orthodoxy and local knowledge in the progress of economic activities and knowledge
· The international spread of economic ideas and the dissemination of knowledge from the center to the periphery (and back)
· Testing international economics: economists and colonies; economists and migrations; economists and power policy; economists and international capital movements
· The role of economists, international organizations and epistemic communities as arenas for imposing economic doctrines and policies
· Economic transformation and the search for alternative paradigms in modelling and teaching: the “international political economy”
· International aid and local agencies in the elaboration and execution of development programs
· Interested scholars are invited to use both their own disciplinary perspective and to make an effort to share methods and results, with a view to a multidisciplinary dialogue.
· Particularly welcome is the presentation of papers using a gender perspective, with attention to the role of women as agents of change as well as to the phenomena of gender discrimination emerging from the formation of international networks in economics, the academy, and elsewhere.
