Demand and Growth Regimes: Structural and International Dimensions
Date: 18-19 May 2026
Location: Berlin School of Economics and Law (Campus Schöneberg), Room A 2.04
Organised by the Growth Regime Working Group (GRWG) of the Institute for International Political Economy (IPE) Berlin at the Berlin School of Economics and Law, in collaboration with Erasmus Mundus Master Economic Policies for the Global Bifurcation (EPOG-JM).
This workshop aims to advance the debate on demand and growth regimes (DGRs) by bringing together junior and senior scholars from post-Keynesian economics, the regulation school, structuralist and dependency approaches, comparative political economy, and international political economy. While the literature on DGRs has significantly improved our understanding of demand formation and comparative growth dynamics, important questions remain regarding the relationship between DGRs, the structure of production and the international positioning of economies in real and financial terms.
The workshop therefore focuses on the political economy and international positioning of DGRs, including the links to structural change, industrial strategies, international complementarities, currency hierarchies and geoeconomic dynamics. We will discuss theoretical and empirical contributions ranging from large samples to comparative and single case studies of Global North and South countries addressing the following themes:
1. DGRs, the structure of production, and industrial policy;
2. The political economy of DGRs and their transformations;
3. International complementarities, and international positioning of DGRs.

II Workshop IPE-YSI: The redefinition of trade partners: Global Value Chains, Innovation and Structural Change
Date: June 16 and 17, 9-18
Location: HWR Haus A.204/A.205.
The Second IPE–YSI Workshop on the Redefinition of Trade Partners builds on the first edition held at HWR Berlin and hosted by the Institute for International Political Economy. The workshop aims to deepen academic exchange between senior scholars and early-career researchers on the evolving role of trade, foreign direct investment, GVCs, and structural change in both high-income and developing economies. The two-day event will combine keynote sessions with paper presentations by PhD students and young scholars. It also seeks to consolidate collaboration with researchers from the University of Urbino, strengthening transnational networks between Berlin-based scholars and heterodox doctoral programs in international economics.
