Redefining Paradigms: Conference on Heterodox Economics, Politics, and Global Relations

Conference Key Features

• Broad and Diverse Range of Topics: The conference covered a broad range of issues within economics, politics, and international relations. This diverse focus ensured that the event has provided a wide audience, from scholars and students to policymakers and practitioners.
• A Continuation of the “Post-Crash Economics” Project: As part of the ongoing “Post-Crash Economics” project, this conference represents a continuation of our efforts to challenge the status quo in economic theory and education. Launched in 2016, this innovative initiative has been at the forefront of rethinking traditional economic paradigms, advocating for a more critical and inclusive approach to understanding the economy in the aftermath of the 2007-08 global financial crisis. The project has produced so far two edited volumes in 2018 and 2023.
• Distinguished Academic Participation: The conference brought together a distinguished group of academics and experts from a wide range of disciplines. Participants included leading scholars from institutions across Scotland, the United Kingdom, and from international universities.
• A Critical Platform for Advancing Research: Serving as a crucial platform for academic debate, the conference has been instrumental in advancing research across a wide spectrum of topics. By facilitating the exchange of ideas and the presentation of pioneering research, the conference has provided a meaningful contribution to the ongoing development of knowledge in these fields.
