Overview
An interdisciplinary group of scholars at the University of California at Berkeley will launch a Network for a New Political Economy to contribute to the Hewlett Foundation’s goal of rethinking political economy and developing a new intellectual paradigm as an alternative to neoliberalism. The roots of the new paradigm reside in ongoing research in social science departments such as economics, political science, sociology, and history, plus professional schools such as business, law, and public policy. The network will foster an intellectual conversation among these diverse scholars, and encourage them to frame their insights and to package them for public engagement and policy relevance. It will also facilitate collective deliberation on how political economy should be studied and taught, and how new perspectives on political economy can be applied to broad public debates and pressing policy problems.

This grant supports CEGA’s set of interconnected activities, including hosting fellowships for social scientists from East and West Africa, organizing convenings that connect African scholars to global networks of faculty and Ph.D. students for mentorship and collaboration, and increasing access to research, dissemination, and policy engagement opportunities for African researchers.
