Report back on the 2024 IIPPE Annual Conference, September 4-7, Istanbul

This year’s Annual Conference, The Changing World Economy, and Today’s Imperialism, was similar in size, nature, and spirit to our last two live “post-Covid” Annual Conferences in Bologna in 2022 and Madrid in 2023. What had previously been a pre-conference day of Workshops whose number had been slightly increasing each year was transformed into the first day of this year’s four-day conference. The Young Scholars International sponsored a day long workshop on States and/or Markets in Capitalism, and there were 4 half-day Workshops: Teaching Political Economy sponsored by the Teaching Political Economy Working Group, The Rise of China and Its Implications to the World sponsored by the Political Economy of China’s Development Working Group, and 2 sponsored by IIPPE, Navigating the Publishing Landscape: An Editor’s Perspective and this year’s TIPE (Topics in Political Economy) Workshop, Value and Price. At the end of the afternoon there was a plenary workshop, Palestine. According to all feedback all workshops were very successful and well attended.

In the following three days of panel presentations we had approximately 94 panels with approximately 385 presenters, and we had 30 to 40 auditors. Accepted submissions came from 60 countries.

The opening plenary on the second day and the one on the third day had a slightly irregular structure, in that there were 3 speakers on the 2 panels. Each presented for 40 minutes, with Trevor Ngwane from the University of Johannesburg in South Africa splitting his time between two 20-minute presentations. Prabhat Patnaik from Jawaharlal Nehru University in India presented The Crisis of Neoliberal Capitalism and Trevor Ngwane presented The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Perspectives from the Global South in the opening plenary The Changing World Economy. Trevor Ngwane presented BRICS, today and tomorrow and Utsa Patnaik from Jawaharlal Nehru University in India presented The New Imperialism, and its creation of a New World of Hunger in the second plenary Today’s Imperialism on the third day. The closing plenary on the last day was Perspectives on the Political Economy of Turkey in the Context if the Poly-Crisis, with Turkey’s Experience with the Poly-Crises of the Global Economy presented by Alp Erinç Yeldan, Social Policy in Turkey between Two Economic Crises: From 2002 to 2024 presented by Ayşe Buğra, The Neoliberal Conundrum of the Crisis Management: The Turkish Experience presented by Galip Yalman, and The Geopolitical Economy of Turkey’s Militarisation and the Poly-Crisis of the Global Order presented by Can Cemgil.
