Part of a research project, the conference will explore and compare paths of political-economic development in Central and Eastern Europe, South-Eastern Europe, and countries that were once part of the Soviet Union.

Event: Political-Economic Development Conference 2008
'What Kinds of Capitalism after Transition?'
The Business School at the University of the West of Scotland, in conjunction with CRCEES, is organising a conference on the above theme.

Friday and Saturday, 29 February and 1 March 2008

This is part of a research project, as outlined on the accompanying page, comparing paths of political-economic development in Central and Eastern Europe, South-Eastern Europe, and countries that were once part of the Soviet Union.

Call for papers
Contributions are invited on a range of thematic areas (for more details refer to the pdf version of the call for papers).
 
Submission deadline

The deadline for submissions will be 7 January 2008. A final decision on the programme will be delivered within about two weeks after that date. We hope to be able to publish, in some form, contributions to the conference. We are also hoping to be able to provide some financial support, particularly for those coming from further afield.

This will be dependent on providing a written version of the paper in advance of the conference which can be a basis for subsequent publication.

Paper submission
Abstracts, papers, and/or session proposals should be submitted to Martin Myant as attached files (doc or pdf format) to the following e-mail address: martin.myant@uws.ac.uk.
