Yale University

For Advancing A New Field Of American Political Economy

Overview
Yale University’s Consortium on the American Political Economy (CAPE) seeks to build a vibrant field of American Political Economy within the discipline of political science. It promotes excellent research while training the next generation of intellectual leaders through events such as an annual Summer Academy for young scholars and an annual research conference. CAPE’s goal is to cultivate an intellectual movement within political science that breaks free from orthodoxies that have narrowed the study of American politics. Continuing and extending CAPE’s success in building this field can have a substantial impact on academic discourse, encouraging the development of usable knowledge.

for the Law and Political Economy Project at Yale Law School  
Legal scholarship and practice have been central to neoliberalism’s success as both a conceptual paradigm and a political and economic practice. While neoliberalism is most commonly associated with economics and the social sciences — particularly among thinkers such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman — it is through the co-opting of legal scholarship, doctrine, and practice that neoliberal concepts have had their most far-reaching effects. Law and Political Economy (LPE), an emerging approach in legal scholarship and pedagogy, is the defining response to neoliberalism in the current legal academy. The work funded through this grant has been focused on advancing this approach. Its objective is to develop LPE into a wide-ranging shift that will change the way law is studied and taught, the public discussion of legal and political institutions and power, and law’s role in policymaking and political mobilization.
