Workshop organised by
Growth Regime Working Group (GRWG) of the Institute for International Political Economy (IPE) at the Berlin School of Economics and Law (HWR);

Description
This workshop aims to facilitate the ongoing debate on diverging demand and growth regimes (DGRs) within and between the fields of post-Keynesian economics, Marxist approaches, regulation school, dependency theory, comparative political economy, international political economy and other critical political economy perspectives. We aim to expand the debate around demand and growth regimes, especially along the following sub-themes:
- DGRs and the Structure of Production
- DGRs and Industrial Policy
- The Political Economy of DGRs
- Dynamics of DGRs
- Elements of a Progressive Demand and Growth Regime
These sub-themes will be examined through theoretical interventions from the different political economy perspectives, as well as, empirical contributions ranging from large samples to comparative and single case studies of Global North and South countries.
