Global Perspectives-

The conference will take place at Keele University, Stratforshire, England on June 27th-29th, 2007. "Proposals for the World Congress may include: (1) individual or coauthored papers; (2) entire sessions of 4 papers; (3) roundtables of 4-5 persons on a particular topic; and (4) pedagogical sessions on teaching in the social economics tradition. The editors of the two journals of the Association—Review of Social Economy and Forum for Social Economics—are especially interested in papers suitable for publication. There will be no formal discussant assigned to papers/sessions. Instead, we encourage participation and discussion among the panelists and participants. We encourage historical, theoretical, empirical, and policy papers. We are particularly interested in research that explicitly articulates a particular framework of social values. Five broad areas for exploring the theme of social values and economic life include: (1) family and community relationships; (2) the workplace and its social organization; (3) the social nature of market relationships; (4) macroeconomic social policy issues; and (5) economic methodology and the history of economic thought."

"The Paris 2007 EURAM conference will aim at revisiting the complex and controversial relationships that Management has had with Social Sciences and Humanity. Researchers in management are invited to join us in Paris to reflect on the roots of Management, both as a scientific discipline and as a practice. In particular, Management's focus on organisational performance is one of the critical underpinnings that transform the discipline's borrowings from established social sciences into an autonomous field of academic investigation."
