Short description: Aim: this initiative will bring together academic staff from Europe, North America, East Asia, Asia and Australia, some of whom will be present at the 2010 Summer School. The Summer School will bring together a number of world-class scholars in the fields related to comparative and international political economy, as well as organisational sociology, to maximise interdisciplinary insight. The courses will be held at the International Centre for Business and Politics (CBP), and PhD students can take one, or both, of the two offered courses (subject to fees). The PhD network does not seek to champion a singular theoretical and methodological approach. The two courses will therefore expose PhD students to a range of theories, methods and perspectives.
The courses will follow a seminar format and will run over two four-day periods. The title of the first course is "Crisis and Change in State and Economies". It will run from 17-20 May. The second course, entitled 'Economic Nationalism in Liberal Markets', will run on 19, 20, 25 and 26 May.
Lecturers: Academic staff: John L. Campbell, Bruce G. Carruthers, Edgar Kiser and Ove K. Pedersen

Crisis and Change in State and Economies Aim: this initiative will bring together academic staff from
Europe, North America, East Asia, Asia and Australia, some of whom will
be present at the 2010 Summer School. The Summer School will bring
together a number of world-class scholars in the fields related to
comparative and international political economy, as well as
organisational sociology, to maximise interdisciplinary insight. The
courses will be held at the International Centre for Business and
Politics (CBP), and PhD students can take one, or both, of the two
offered courses (subject to fees). The PhD network does not seek to
champion a singular theoretical and methodological approach. The two
courses will therefore expose PhD students to a range of theories,
methods and perspectives. The courses will follow a seminar format and will
run over two four-day periods. The title of the first course is "Crisis
and Change in State and Economies". It will run from 17-20 May. The
second course, entitled 'Economic Nationalism in Liberal Markets', will
run on 19, 20, 25 and 26 May. Learning Objectives: both courses are
designed to enhance PhD students' knowledge of comparative
institutional analysis as studied in political economy as well as
organisational and economic sociology. Course progression and teaching style: within
both courses, PhD students will be expected to read and comment on the
required texts, to actively participate in seminars, and also to
provide written and oral feedback on their theoretical and
methodological reflections. In particular, students must submit a
five-page document discussing the relationship between institutional
theory and their research topic, which should also locate the student's
research topic within current debates on globalisation and
regionalisation. Using these documents as a foundation, students will
have an opportunity to discuss their research topics at greater length
in the courses, including brief oral presentations, and will receive
feedback from the academic staff and their peers. The Summer School will also feature a series of
keynote seminars from the attending academic staff. These seminars are
provided without cost. Course Coordinator: Ove K. Pedersen Academic staff: John L. Campbell, Bruce G. Carruthers, Edgar Kiser and Ove K. Pedersen Content: Institutional analysis has witnessed a renaissance
during the last twenty years or so. Several theoretical and
methodological approaches have been developed and have been advanced by
scholars with impressive results. Rational choice, historical,
organizational, and discursive versions of institutional analysis have
flourished. So too have methodological approaches within institutional
analysis that emphasize macro-level and micro-level perspectives,
formal modeling and inductive data dredging, qualitative and
quantitative techniques, and historical and cross-sectional research
designs. Regardless of the approach, institutional analysis has been
used to explain change in health care systems, post-communist political
economies, advanced capitalist welfare states, politics, markets, labor
unions, citizenship rights, national economic success and failure,
private corporations, and much more. This seminar will present lectures on the state of
the art in institutional analysis by several senior scholars from the
United States and Europe who have worked in various traditions within
institutional analysis for many years. Each will give a lecture on the
state of the art from their own theoretical and methodological
perspective. Each will also participate in discussions of
work-in-progress papers from PhD students attending the conference and
who are using institutional analysis in their work. The course will be
organized so as to facilitate as much discussion among participants as
possible. Insofar as students are concerned, it will also involve the
reading and discussion of each other's work. An extensive set of
references to relevant scholarly work will also be made available in
advance to students attending the course. Keynotes During the courses there will be a number of keynote
speeches on topics relevant to comparative institutional analysis,
institutional theory, and globalisation and regionalisation. The exact
titles will be announced at a later date, but the following speeches
have already been arranged: Professor Edgar Kiser, Department of Sociology, University of Washington. Professor Sven Steinmo, Department of Political Science, University of Colorado. Professor John L. Campbell, Department of Sociology,
Dartmouth College and International Center for Business and Politics,
