---------------------------
4th ESHET-JSHET Joint Conference
11 – 13 September 2015, Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan
Call for Papers
The fourth ESHET-JSHET Conference will take place in Otaru, Hokkaido (
Japan) on 11-13 September 2015. Like the former conferences organized by
ESHET and JSHET, it aims at bringing together researchers from Europe,
Japan and other parts of the world in order to discuss new research and
exchange ideas on the history of economic thought.
The main theme of the conference will be “War in the history of economic
thought: the economists and the question of war”. At the very time when
many countries in the world are reflecting on the lessons of the World
Wars on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the beginning of WWI in
1914 and the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII in 1945, we are today
once again witnessing a rapid deterioration of relations between
countries and a worrying increase of conflict in several parts of the
world. While in the past a reflection on war has not been a permanent or
main theme of debates, economists did have to deal with all the
questions raised by wars. They discussed whether the expansion of trade
could prevent wars — the “doux commerce” thesis at the end of the XVIII
century — or how to organize a war economy, or how return to peace.
Keynes’ Economic Consequences of the Peace and How to pay for the war
are among the most celebrated ex! amples of this literature.
The present conference proposes to rediscover, analyse and discuss
reflections of this kind. The main — but by no means exclusive — themes
could be the following: (i) How to organize a war economy? (ii) How to
pay for the war? (iii) War and the plundering of the enemy’s resources.
(iv) War economy and economic planning. (v) War, employment and the
labour force. (vi) The problems of a transition to peace. (vii) The
economic consequences of the payment of reparations. (viii) The lessons
from the war and the return to liberalism; (ix) the policies of the
winners in occupied countries; (x) How to avoid wars?
Proposals (abstracts of a maximum of 450 words) should be sent
simultaneously to Susumu Egashira (husserl4@gmail.com) and Gilbert
Faccarello (gilbert.faccarello@u-paris2.fr).
