Subject: Conference on Unequal exchnage




On behalf of the Arghiri Emmanuel Association, we want to draw your
attention to our conference on the Economy of Imperialism Conference from
29-30 January 20206 at the International Institute for Social History
(IISG) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

 The conference examines Arghiri Emmanuel's Theory of Unequal Exchange in
the 21st century and celebrates the establishment of the Emmanuel Archive
at the IISG. We are inviting you to present a paper at the conference that
focuses on an aspect of unequal exchange or global inequality. The
presentation can focus on a country, region, or theme that is related to
questions of global South countries, neoliberal globalization and unequal
exchange. The conference is sponsored by the Arghiri Emmanuel Association
and the International Institute for Social History (IISG) and free to all
participants.  We would especially be honoured if you attended and
presented your work in view of your expertise on the topic. Your
presentation, paper, comments can be of any length—though we recommend
essays of 5000-8000 words. The papers will form part of a journal special
issue and an edited book collection.

Here is the link to the conference website:

The conference organizers consider unequal exchange as decisive to
understanding international political economy and the crises of global
inequality, poverty, ecological collapse, and exploitation of labour and
resources of most of the planet.  The working classes and the poor are most
vulnerable to economic deprivation and inevitably bear the weight of
unequal exchange damage.

The Unequal Exchange Conference accepts all relevant papers and
presentations. The focus examines inequality, the absence of economic
development, climatic and ecological crisis, and protracted shortages of
essential goods and services, which generates famine, disease,
unemployment, and poverty.


In recognition of your great expertise in this area, we hereby invite you
to contribute a paper or give a short presentation.



*Possible themes may include:*
* The extent to which unequal exchange has shaped the country/region over
time, and the ways in which it continues to do so today.
* The means by which international capital and the global economy respond
to unequal exchange.

* The inseparable relationship between unequal exchange and economic,
political, military and cultural imperialism.

* An assessment of the socio-economic consequences of unequal exchange for
the nation or region, and a discussion of the ways in which it might be
ended.

Best wishes,

Torkil Lauesen
