INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ECONOMY AND ECOLOGY SUMMER SCHOOL
Course Director: Gregory Albo (Political Science)
Each year the summer school investigates one salient issue within the field of International Political Economy and Ecology (IPEE). IPEE includes the notion of international and transnational economic relations, and comparative structures of national political economy. Each session is a challenging exploration of current literature in a specific issue area of IPEE, particularly as it relates to the relationship between economy and ecology.
1996 Summer School Theme: The Planet After Fordism: Ecology, Democracy, Internationalism.
Course Instructor: Alain Lipietz, CEPREMAP, Paris, France
Objectives:
This 1996 Summer School will provide students with an overview of the relationships between the global political economy, the current crises of environment and Fordist development and alternate economic and ecological political projects and policies. There will be both a theoretical and empirical exploration of the issues involved in these crises, with particular emphasis on regulation theory and industrial restructuring, and the alternate 'ways out of the crises' posed by the countries of the south and the ecological and social movements.
Outline:
This is an intensive 2 week course. The 1996 Summer School will be held from July 2 to July 12. The course is structured around daily three hour seminars, in which the first hour will be presented as lectures by the guest instructor. There will be two evening lectures.
The specific topics which will likely be covered include:
Capitalism, Ecology and Regulation Theory Fordism in Crisis: Ways Out of the Crisis? The Spaces of Post-Fordism The New International Division of Labour Workhours: Time for the Alternative? Global Ecological Crises Regulating the Global Commons Post-Fordism and Democracy
