Tuesday, May 21 to Thursday, May 23, 2019
States, Sectors, Firms, Growth: New Developments in the Political Economy and Economic Sociology of CapitalismLocation: Sciences Po, Paris
Call for ApplicationsInstructors:
Lucio Baccaro (MPIfG), Olivier Godechot (MaxPo/Sciences Po), Silja Häusermann (University of Zurich), Jonas Pontusson (University of Geneva), Nathan Wilmers (MIT)Although economic sociology and political economy are two disciplinary areas that have for long been engaged in a fruitful dialogue, this exchange has regularly stumbled over the disconnections of the levels that they were empirically addressing. To put it succinctly, economic sociology was mostly studying micro-actors such as persons and how persons engage in economic exchange. Political economy was mostly focusing on macro-actors such as states and the way they interact with their economies. Two intermediate objects, firms in economic sociology on the one hand (and their economic interactions) and sectors (in relation with social blocks) in political economy on the other hand, provide intermediary levels between micro-actors and macro-actors. They help to explore more in depth the contemporary structure of inequality, the variety of growth models tied to these inequalities, and the political outcomes.

Joint PhD Seminar of Sciences Po and MPIfG
The Role of the Future in Economic and Political Sociology: Between Stabilizing Expectations and Extending CrisesMax Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne
Instructors:
Jenny Andersson, MaxPo/Sciences Po; Jens Beckert, MPIfG; Marcin Serafin, Max Planck Partner Group WarsawThis seminar explores the recent interest in the future in the social sciences. Recent work in economic sociology has brought out the importance of actors’ expectations, showing the influence of narratives and fictions on future developments as ways of embedding economic activity in stories and images of envisioned future capitalist development. Other strands of literature in economic geography, anthropology, and history have pinpointed the origins and use of tools of future crafting, such as forecasts and scenarios, as instruments of market making and as contributors to the crafting of economic interests over time. The seminar aims to familiarize PhD students with this emerging research agenda.

MaxPo's Fifth-Anniversary International Conference
Destabilizing Orders – Understanding the Consequences of NeoliberalismSciences Po, Paris
Conference Hosts:
Lucio Baccaro, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne
Jens Beckert, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne
Jenny Andersson, MaxPo, Sciences Po
Olivier Godechot, MaxPo, Sciences PoThrough the long postwar period, crisis was a conjectural phenomenon, exceptional in a normalcy of growth and social progress. Many key concepts of the social sciences – indeed, our understanding of democracy, of embedded markets, of enlightened electorates, benevolent political elites, and problem-solving progressive alliances – seem inapt for understanding the current societal upheaval.
In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008, we have witnessed majority alliances breaking down, populism returning on a grand scale both in the Western world and globally, and the new patterns of social mobilization erupting into chaotic and sometimes violent protest. The forces that underpinned the framework of welfare capitalism seem obsolete in the face of financial and political elites that are paradoxically both disconnected from national territory and sometimes in direct alliance with nationalist and populist movements. Politics of resentment, politics of place, and new politics of class interact in ways that we do not yet understand. Perhaps the greatest paradox of all is that neoliberalism has spawned authoritarianism. At the same time, these processes are not at all new, but must be put in the context of the socioeconomic and cultural cleavages produced by the shift to neoliberalism since the 1970s.
The conference addresses the different facets of social destabilization that we observe today. It marks the fifth anniversary of the founding of MaxPo, the Max Planck Sciences Po Center on Coping with Instability in Market Societies. Presentations will analyze different aspects of the overarching phenomenon of social destabilization trying to identify common threats in the diverse developments currently to be observed.

Politics and Society in the Age of FinancializationMax Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne
Organizers:
Jens Beckert, Max Planck Institute of the Study of Societies
Olivier Godechot, MaxPoIn April 2015, Sciences Po and the MPIfG held a joint workshop in Cologne as part of the "States and Markets" series. The workshop on "Politics and Society in the Age of Financialization" was attended by some twenty political and social scientists from Germany and France. Financial markets, their regulation, and the effects of finance on households have become major research fields in economic sociology and political economy. Financialization has been identified as a major trend in socioeconomic development. The financial crisis of 2007 and its repercussions on the economy, the state, and households have sparked interest in political science and sociology to understand the operation of financial markets and possibilities for their regulation. At the workshop in Cologne, scholars from both disciplines presented their findings on the effects of the financial crisis on the economy, state, and society as well as the possibilities for regulating financial markets.

Workshop 5 – Joint Workshop Series "States and Markets"
Coping with Instability in Market SocietiesSciences Po, Paris
The last thirty years have seen profound shifts in the social organization of Western societies. Today individuals are increasingly exposed to market forces in a growing number of life spheres. Cultural shifts that accompanied this "marketization" have led to a more individualized culture and the destabilization of traditional social structures, for instance in the family. Creating a growing sense of uncertainty, these developments have led to pressures on individuals, organizations, and politics to cope with increasingly instable economic, social, and political environments.

MaxPo and Reimagining Norden in an Evolving World (ReNEW)
Neoliberalism in the Nordics: Developing an Absent ThemeWorkshop organized by Jenny Andersson, Mitchell Dean, and Chris Howell
Location: Sciences Po, ParisIn recent years, the nature of neoliberalism as a concept has been highly debated in the social sciences. Crude understandings of neoliberalism as something “bad” have been replaced by more sophisticat-ed interpretations of how the process of marketization can be understood as a universal phenomenon and as highly particularistic and contingent in different national settings. As a general rule, the Nordic countries are almost completely absent from the literature on neoliberalism. In the comparative welfare state literature and political economy, the Nordics still figure as an exception to liberalization processes, particularly to the Anglo-Saxon countries. A workshop entitled “Neoliberalism in the Nordics: Developing an Absent Theme” organized by Jenny Andersson (MaxPo), Mitchell Dean (Copenhagen Business School), and Chris Howell (Oberlin College) will take place in December 2018 at MaxPo. Supported by ReNEW (Reimagining Norden in an Evolving World at the University of Oslo), the workshop seeks to develop a new research theme around neoliberalism in the Northern European periphery.

Moral Categories in the Financial CrisisRoundtable on the occasion of the opening of MaxPo
Marion Fourcade, MaxPo
Philippe Steiner, Université Paris-Sorbonne
Wolfgang Streeck, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Socieites, Cologne
Cornelia Woll, MaxPo
Sciences Po and and Residence of the German Ambassador in ParisUsing the recent financial and eurozone crises as empirical backgrounds, the panelists Marion Fourcade (MaxPo), Philippe Steiner (University of Paris-Sorbonne), Wolfgang Streeck (MPIfG), and Cornelia Woll (MaxPo) proposed four different perspectives on the play of moral judgments in the economy, and called for broader and more systematic scholarly engagement with this issue. The discussion was chaired by Christine Musselin of the Centre de sociologie des organisations at Sciences Po.
The MaxPo Center opened in October 2012. The co-directors decided to organize an academic public event at which to introduce their agenda to the Center’s academic and administrative partners as well as to the broader community interested in the topic of "Coping with instability in market societies." With the full support of the German Embassy and the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the inaugural event took place at Sciences Po on November 29, 2012. The date was chosen to fit with the event schedule surrounding the fiftieth anniversary of the Élysée Treaty between France and Germany. The interim director of Sciences Po, the president of the Max Planck Society, the ambassador of Germany to France, the undersecretary for Research and Innovation of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the director of Institutional and European Affairs of the Axa Group, and the two directors of the MPIfG participated in the inaugural ceremony, which took place in one of Sciences Po’s largest rooms and was followed up by a reception at the German Embassy. The academic part of the inaugural event centered around a panel discussion on moral categories in the financial crisis.

Cornelia Woll: Economic Lawfare − The Geopolitics of Corporate JusticeChair: Katja Langenbucher, Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main and Sciences Po Law School
Invitees: Brandon Garrett, Duke University Law School, Abraham Newman, Georgetown University, Regis Bismuth, Sciences Po Law School
Large corporations are increasingly on trial. Over the last decade, many of the world’s biggest companies have been embroiled in legal disputes over corruption charges, fraud, environmental damage, taxation issues or sanction violations, ending in convictions or settlements of record-breaking fines, well above the billion-dollar mark. For critics of globalization, this turn towards corporate accountability is a welcome sea-change showing that multinational companies are no longer above the law, simply because they are too big, too mobile and too important for economic growth. But the new world of corporate justice has a decidedly geopolitical dimension as well that helps to explain this new aggressive pursuit of corporate prosecutions. It requires market power to be able to impose legal norms beyond national boundaries, and the United States in particular has skillfully expanded its effective jurisdiction beyond its territory. As a result, the prosecution of corporate misconduct turns into geopolitical tensions that fundamentally reshape national legal approaches to corporate justice.
This roundtable brings together scholar in law and international relations to discuss the book manuscript for final improvements before its publication by Harvard University Press in 2022.Cornelia Woll is a political scientist focusing on comparative and international political economy, in particular business−government relations and economic regulation in Europe and the United States. A founding co-director of MaxPo from 2012-2015, she returned to the center in 2019, after serving as Sciences Po’s Vice President for Studies and Academic Affairs for 3 years. Her publications include a book on bank bailouts in the recent financial crisis (The Power of Inaction, Cornell University Press, 2014) and on the liberalization of service trade (Firm Interests, Cornell University Press 2008). Other work has examined economic patriotism, Europeanization, economic policy and the role of business and employers' organizations in politics.

The Political Economy of Law Enforcement*Zoom event*
Conference websiteOrganizers:
Matías Dewey (University of Sankt Gallen), Lucas Ronconi (Centro de Investigacion y Accion Social, Buenos Aires), Cornelia Woll (MaxPo)At first sight social, political and economic order occurs within the confines of the law that applies equally to everybody. And yet, the probability that public authorities will apply coercion to bring about compliance with legal rules varies considerably across cases and circumstances. From different theoretical and disciplinary angles, a series of studies highlight the relevance of law enforcement as an under-researched and under-theorized mechanism producing social, political or economic order. Analyzing the varied ways law enforcement mechanisms and institutions can be manipulated, and addressing the complexities of the state-society and legality−illegality interfaces, this emerging literature questions core assumptions in social science research such as our understanding of state capacity, the production of political stability, the role of corruption, state-making processes under conditions of illegality or the role of informal institutions for the capture of resources.

Political Economy: What’s the Value Added?Convenors: Colin Hay and Matthias Thiemann
Location: Sciences Po, Room Goguel, 27 rue Saint-Guillaume, 75007 Paris
ProgramWorkshop in honor of the launch of the "Dictionnaire d'économie politique: Capitalisme, institutions, pouvoir," edited by Colin Hay and Andy Smith (Presses de Sciences Po, 2018).
Political Economy as an approach focuses on the link between politics and economics, refusing to think one without the other. In a time of disciplinary specialization, it is particularly challenging to maintain such a focus of research. So what is the value added of such an enterprise, given these adverse conditions? This workshop is devoted to answer this question, using the contributions and contributors of the “Dictionnaire d'économie politique: Capitalisme, institutions, pouvoir," to prime the discussion.

After four years of drafting, debating, rethinking and revision, the IPSP report "Rethinking Society for the 21st Century" was published by Cambridge University Press in September 2018, together with a programmatic short book, "A Manifesto for Social Progress: Ideas for a Better Society." We take the opportunity of this publication to present the main results and propositions of the report. A discussion with actors in the field – international organizations, business, civil society – who all champion inclusive growth and social progress is a good way to put those results in perspective. more

Richard Bronk, London School of Economics and Political ScienceModern economies are oriented towards the future, and in many circumstances the future is inherently uncertain. This raises questions about how economic actors form expectations or strategies, assess the likely outcome of their decisions, and learn to exploit the indeterminate future to their advantage. How do economic actors make decisions when the future is indeterminate because it has yet to be created by the innovations they and others will make, or because it is so complex that it cannot be anticipated?

Co-hosts:
Sciences Po, Paris, and IMPRS-SPCESome thirty researchers met at the tenth Max Planck Summer Conference on Economy and Society in Reims to discuss "Territories of the Economy." Presentations addressed the political economy of international adoption, the relationship between prosperity and public debt, the effects of natural disasters on election results, labor policies in the era of liberalization, and the growth of major cities. As keynote speaker, Michael Storper (UCLA and LSE) presented his new book comparing the transformation of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Lazslo Bruzst of the European University Institute in Florence closed the conference with his talk on single market integration in Europe and on economic change at Europe's periphery.
Since 2006, a rotating summer school brings together senior scholars and doctoral students from Sciences Po, the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne, Northwestern University and other partner institutions in certain years such as Harvard University, Columbia and the European University Institute in Florence.

Co-hosts:
Columbia University, New York, and IMPRS-SPCEIn the current era, information and interactive technologies are not exogenous to organization. In fact, organizational design - and consequently state structure and the design of social and industrial policy - has become inseparable from the design of the digital interface. The workshop addressed the interactions of technology and economy and how these disruptions give rise to new challenges and new opportunities for democracy. During the three-day conference, 14 young researchers from the participating institutions presented their ongoing research projects.

European University Institute, Florence, and IMPRS-SPCE/MPIfGDo democratic politics and economics remain compatible, now that financial, economic, and debt crises have grown out of the liberalization of the 1970s? At the 2013 Summer Conference, the doctoral students' presentations shed light on such issues as second-generation immigrants' lives in Western Europe, neoliberal reforms in Russia's higher education, land dispossession in Mexico, and the governing of slums in Paris and Madrid. Marie-Laure Djelic of ESSEC Business School in Paris contrasted "doux commerce" and "ineluctable alienation" in her keynote address on "democratization and neoliberal governance," and Mark Blyth of Brown University in Providence, USA, discussed lessons from the eurozone crisis.
