Short description: Aim: this initiative will bring together academic staff from Europe, North America, East Asia and Australasia, some of whom will be present at the 2009 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). Theoretically and methodologically, the PhD network does not seek to champion a singular approach. The two courses will 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 Ravenhill, Ben Rosamond, Leonard Seabrooke and Cornelia Woll

Economic Nationalism in Liberal Markets In mid-May 2010, the International Centre for Business and Politics at Copenhagen Business School will host a Summer School which will provide a starting point for a new global PhD in Business and Politics programme. Aim: this initiative will bring together academic staff from Europe, North America, East Asia and Australasia, some of whom will be present at the 2009 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). Theoretically and methodologically, the PhD network does not seek to champion a singular approach. The two courses will 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 and 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 which are provided without cost. Course Coordinator: Leonard Seabrooke Academic staff: John Ravenhill, Ben Rosamond, Leonard Seabrooke and Cornelia Woll Content: This course is concerned with applying comparative institutional analysis to the processes of globalisation and regionalisation. Participants will compare how different approaches favour interests either as self-evident or as driven by ideas, and how different approaches prefer to focus on agency while others prefer to focus on structural constraints. The course will also discuss the role of discourse and political framing in how we understand globalisation and regionalisation. The academic staff and students will discuss whether globalisation is a result of economic competition or of political manipulation, and whether regionalisation reflects political coalitions and interests or whether it fosters new forms of identity association. The academic staff will discuss a range of cases that draw upon their published works, including the creation of a European economic space (Rosamond), East Asian regionalisation and regionalism (Ravenhill), constructing business interests in Europe (Woll) and the social sources of financial globalisation (Seabrooke). The course will be organised to facilitate as much discussion among participants as possible. An extensive set of references to relevant scholarly work will also be made available to students prior to 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: John L. Campbell on �National Identity and the Political Economy of Small States� Bruce Carruthers on �Globalization and Bankruptcy Law: Implementation as a Weapon of the Weak� Leonard Seabrooke on �The Politics of Expectation and the Global Credit Crunch� John Ravenhill on �The Politics of Preferential Trade Agreements and Regionalisation� Course literature and suggested reading: Blyth, Mark 2001: The Transformation of the Swedish Model: Economic Ideas, Distributional Conflict and Institutional Change, World Politics 54 (1): 1-26.
