CNET call for papers

On behalf of the Friday Association for Institutional Studies (a collective including聽members of the Birkbeck Centre for Political Economy and Institutional Studies (CPEIS),聽the Centre for New Economic Transitions聽at the School of Slavonic and聽East European Studies (SSEES 香港六合彩中特网) and the Institute for International Management at聽Loughborough University London, we are pleased to announce the following call for聽contributions for its 5th London Workshop on Institutional Issues.

Theme:
Happiness, as an explicit measure of wellbeing, good institutional quality, as a pillar of聽development, and low level of inequality, as a driver of social harmony are all increasingly聽seen as important metrics of societal success. With this call, we aim to invite researchers聽from any social science discipline to submit their research engaging with at least 2 of聽these notions to contribute to a critical and constructive debate on their complex聽interrelations and their relevance to our understand of development in a broad sense.

Inequality, institutional quality and life satisfaction are inter-connected, related,聽mediated, associated in many ways, and we propose to explore and embrace that聽diversity of relations during our 1-day workshop. Thus, questions of interest include 鈥 but聽are not limited to:

  • How is the quality of life impacted by the quality of institutions?
  • How do institutions influence the impact of inequality on economic and noneconomic聽wellbeing?
  • How does inequality and or subjective wellbeing impact institutional trust?
  • What is the relationship between inequality, quality of institutions and public good聽contributions?
  • How does inequality influence subjective wellbeing and sustainability?
  • Societal wellbeing between formal and informal institutions
  • How do formal institutions mediate the relationship between inequality and aspects of subjective wellbeing?
  • What are the organisation- and industry-level determinants of societal inequality?
  • What are the 鈥渋nstitutional drivers鈥 behind the decline of labour share and increase of聽wages鈥 inequality?

Submission:
Please send an abstract (max. 500 words) or a full paper (if available and preferred by聽the submitters) by 12 March 2023 to ssees-events@ucl.ac.uk
The submission should be sent with 鈥2023 Friday Association Workshop鈥 in the subject聽line.聽Please note that the format of the submission (abstract or full paper) will not affect the聽chances of being accepted. Researchers submitting structured abstracts will not be聽treated less favourably than authors submitting full papers, as long as their key聽contribution and approach are made clear.聽Authors of accepted submissions will be notified by 31 March 2023.

Structure of Presentations:
Every paper presentation will be assigned a discussant. It is thus important to submit full聽papers at least two weeks before the workshop, i.e. 5 June 2023 at the latest.聽
