The purpose of this conference is to collect contributions on how politics, both national and international, influences economic development. There is now growing consensus that decisions taken by political elites have profound repercussions on a country's path of development, and at the same time these decisions are rarely those that would be taken by a "benevolent dictator," and perhaps not even those of a "median voter." Papers at these conference will therefore address the mechanism through which the political process leads to different policy decisions in different developing countries, and hence different development paths.
Specific topics of interest include:
1) Creation, composition, and change of political elite in developing countries
2) Strategic interaction between elite and civil society
3) Exploitative v. developmental political elites
4) Natural resources and politics in developing countries
5) Civil war and international war, and their feedbacks to and from development
6) Ethnic conflict, ethnic politics and development.
The conference organizers welcome both empirical and theoretical submissions on the topics above, as well as any other topic related to the interplay between politics and development. |
