Growth Regime Working Group (GRWG) of the IPE Berlin

The GRWG aims at research on the main dynamics and drivers of the diverging demand and growth regimes in modern capitalism from a comparative perspective. It investigates the main demand and growth regimes and their changes both in the global North and South, and the global and regional interplay among various regimes. It also focuses on research on individual case studies.

The GRWG consists of researchers from different social sciences. The research is rooted in heterodox perspectives, including post-Keynesian economics, Marxist approaches, regulation school, dependency theory, and other critical political economy perspectives.
