____________________________________________________________

Presentation

This conference is co-organized by CRIISEA (Amiens University) and IRISSO (Paris Dauphine University), with the financial support of The French Association for Political Economy (AFEP), the Centre d’Economie de Paris-Nord (CEPN) and the scientific support of the Project Group Political Science of the Economy (SPECO) of the French Association for Political Science (AFSP).

This international and interdisciplinary conference will bring together social scientists in economics, sociology and political science to discuss the evolution of economics in relation with neighboring disciplines.
Drawing on IRISSO’s research on “Government, Norms and Knowledge” and “Finance, Market and Society” following the Foucaldian inspiration of the previous CRIISEA conferences on economic discourses, this year’s conference will explore the evolving government of the economic discipline with special emphasis on the set of instruments and rules – both formal and informal – characterizing this government.

The working language is English.
