CFP: Political Economy of International Organizations

Submissions are invited for the fifth annual conference on the Political Economy of International Organizations, to be held at Villanova University, Philadelphia, USA, on January 26-28, 2012. The conference brings together economists and political scientists to address political-economy issues related to international organizations such as the World Trade Organization, the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the European Union, and also other international organizations that have received less attention in the academic literature. Both empirical and theoretical papers will be considered. Please submit full papers to conference@peio.me. The deadline for submission is 30 September, 2011. Decisions will be made by 31 October, 2011. This year’s special issue of the Review of International Organizations will be focusing on Informal Governance in International Organizations, edited by Randall Stone. Please indicate in your submission to the conference whether you are interested in also submitting to the special issue. Please see the conference website for more information.
