Im Rahmen dieses INFER-Workshops soll das interdisziplinäre "Varieties of Capitalism"-Konzept diskutiert werden, das eine komparative und dynamische Betrachtung unterschiedlicher Ausprägungen von "Kapitalismus" ermöglicht.

Einreichungen sind erwünscht von Wissenschaftlern aus allen betroffenen Fachdisziplinen.

Aus der englischen Konferenz-Ankündigung:

This INFER workshop aims at taking an up-to-date and deepened look at the line of thought behind the "Varieties of Capitalism" concept. Contributions for the workshop may discuss the topic from different angles. Issues may include, but are not limited to:
- Hall and Soskice claim that “coordinated marked economies” are better apt to cope with the pressure of systems competition than “liberal market economies”.
- Does a VoC-concept exist which is promising for Middle and East European economies?
- Are there typical regional patterns of capitalist systems (e.g., for South America, Africa, Eastern Europe)?
- Can existing VoC-concepts be enhanced by including new policy areas, e.g. taxation or competition policy?

The workshop is open to anybody involved in the topic, including both young and experienced researchers, post-doctoral students, and professionals from business, government and non-governmental institutions.
We want to emphasize that the topic is interdisciplinary and that contributions from neighbouring social sciences are encouraged, e.g. Political Science, Economic and Human Geography, Economic History or Sociology.
