Since the early 1980s, both the world economy and national economies have undergone extensive structural changes. The internationalization processes, not least in the financial sector, has left its infancy and been implemented on a global scale. During the past 15 years lots of efforts has been made by distinguished scholars all around the world addressing questions regarding small states reactions towards the ongoing internationalization process. In our opinion, it is time to draw on experiences from research that focuses on small states political-institutional character. Thus the conference aspires to further the research tradition of comparative political economy.
Themes Turning to the concrete plans, the conference topic comprises five themes.
The deadline for the completed paper is August 15th. Proceedings containing all papers presented orally will be available at the web site and at the start of the Conference.
