ASSOCIATION FOR SOCIAL ECONOMICS

Call for Papers

Annual A.S.S.A. Meetings, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  January 2005


THEME:  Understanding the Neoliberal Years

The spread of neoliberal ideas has contributed to the increased reliance
on market forces and decreased reliance on non-market institutions over
the last quarter century.  The liberalization of global markets has
gained the most attention, but the neoliberal project has been
manifested in other areas as well.  An eroding social safety net,
decline of union membership and increasing inequality can be seen as
connected to the greater embrace of free markets.  

The uniting theme of papers for the 2005 meetings will be an attempt to
link the spread of neoliberalism, the more recent reactions against its
spread, and social economics.  What light can social economics shed on
the problems that have emerged?  What can social economics contribute to
understanding both the advantages and drawbacks associated with the
neoliberal project?  What can social economics contribute to the
emergence of competing possibilities to replace the neoliberal reforms
currently in place and those still likely to be instituted in the years
ahead?

There will be nine sessions and a Presidential breakfast address by
Patrick J. Welch.  Both members and nonmembers of the Association for
Social Economics are invited to submit proposals.  Also, anyone willing
and able to organize a session with three or four papers on an
appropriate topic is encouraged to submit a proposal.

A selection of papers presented at the sessions will be published in a
forthcoming issue of the Forum for Social Economics.  To be eligible for
consideration, papers must be limited to 3,250 words of text with no
more than three pages of endnotes and references.  Three hard copies and
one electronic copy of the final draft of the paper must be submitted to
the editor by January 20, 2005.  Each paper will be sent to two
referees.

Proposal Submission:  A one-page abstract should be submitted before the
deadline of May 10, 2004.  It is preferred that abstracts be sent by
e-mail to george@xxxxxxxxxxxx  I can also be reached at:
