*Call for Papers ‘Financial Crises as Global Challenges. Actors, 
Structures and Logics of Global Finance’*
Dates: Wednesday 24th – Saturday 27th June 2015
Location: Tagungszentrum Schloss Herrenhausen in Hannover, Germany
Deadline: 15th January 2015

In scope and scale, the world financial crisis that began seven years 
ago has been exceptional. It continues to exert a major impact on the 
global economy. For close to 30 years now, however, financial crises 
have come to be not the exception but the rule. As global finance gains 
importance in a global economy, crises are occurring more frequently. In 
this situation, the need to determine the causes behind these crises and 
to search for appropriate solutions has become all the more urgent. For 
a wide range of sciences dealing with global finance, the latest crisis 
marks a turning point. It underscores the fact that international 
financial challenges cannot be tackled single-handedly or separately. 
Although studies exploring the reasons behind global financial crisis 
are many, they tend to stay within the bounds of their respective 
fields. Despite the clear need for interdisciplinary dialogue, 
endeavours to cut across disciplines and create new synergies in 
research are surprisingly infrequent.

The symposium "Financial Crises as Global Challenges" aims to fill this 
gap. It will tap the expertise and excellence of a wide spectrum of 
academic disciplines and will provide leading scholars of global finance 
and International Political Economy with an international forum to share 
their latest research findings and insights. Five conference themes will 
structure the common thread of interdisciplinary scientific analysis: 
(a) Learning from the history of financial crises; (b) Financial crises 
and nation states; (c) Financial innovations, shadow banking, and 
financialization; (d) Global and local practices in finance; and (e) 
Reflexivities and rationalities of global finance. Each of these themes 
will be conceptually explored in relation to actors, structures and 
logics of global finance.

The event will bring together junior scholars and senior scholars from 
the fields of political science, economics, sociology, international 
political economy, geography, and history. There are some places left 
for PhDs and Postdocs. Hence, we invite papers from PhDs and Postdocs 
which address one of the five main conference themes. In case of 
acceptance, accommodation and meals in the Tagungszentrum Schloss 
Herrenhausen, and travel costs (up to 200 Euro) will be covered.

Proposals for contributions should include a title, a short abstract 
(max. 300 words), and a brief (max. 50 word) biographical statement, and 
should be sent to joscha.wullweber at uni-kassel.de and Antonia Graf 
antoniag at uni-muenster.de; The conference is sponsored by the 
VolkswagenStiftung and supported by the working group International 
Political Economy of the German Political Science Association (DVPW). 
Convenor: Joscha Wullweber (University of Kassel)
