“Politics in the New Hard Times” Conference
The recent global economic downturn is bound to have significant political repercussions. Earlier depressions led to rise of new political movements, the reshuffling of political coalitions, and the transformation of the role of government in the economy. Professor Kahler’s conference will examine—at this early stage in the 21st century’s first great financial and economic rupture—those likely political effects. The conference will convene a distinguished interdisciplinary team of scholars to consider the effects of macroeconomic events on politics. The April 2010 conference will include both scholarly panels that discuss newly commissioned research papers and a closing panel that will address the implications of the economic crisis from the perspective of current practitioners in business, policy, and politics.
