ECONOMICS AND DEMOCRACY
SECOND ANNUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY SOCIAL SCIENCES CONFERENCE
Research School of Social Sciences,
Australian National University, Canberra
December 8-10, 2008
The interpenetration of democracy and the economy has been
subject to longstanding suspicions, on both sides.
Economists frequently decry what they regard as ill-
conceived interventions into the market from populist
politicians. For their part, political scientists are often
concerned about the influence that 'political money' has on
the makeup of parliaments or decisions of government, and
on keeping the forum separate from the market.
What the appropriate relation between democracy and the
economy should be remains a fraught question. Most rejoice
in the extensions of the franchise and extending democracy,
but many would baulk at extending it to workplaces or
boardrooms. There are also important questions over
whether contracting out more public functions to the
private sector seriously constricts the range of democratic
control. Some see democracy as just another kind of
market: a market in votes, governed by the same logic as
the economic market, while others regard the analogy as
fundamentally misplaced.
Keynote addresses will be delivered by Tim Besley (LSE) and
Donald Wittman (UCSC).
We invite proposals for workshops (full-day, invitation
only intensive sessions aimed at fostering collaborative
research), paper sessions (public presentations and
discussions of thematically linked papers), panel
discussions (on current issues and controversies related to
the conference theme), and individual paper proposals.
