Overview
The Program on Law and Political Economy at Harvard Law School is designed to complement national efforts aimed at transforming legal scholarship and practice for the post-neoliberal era. Through cutting edge research, academic and professional training, and strategic collaborations, the program seeks to effectuate a new intellectual paradigm that clarifies how law shapes power relations in contemporary market society. With a focus on concrete interventions, the program serves as an intellectual forum for academics, policymakers, and civil society leaders on issues critical to the future of American political economy — including labor rights, technological innovation, monetary design, the carceral state, and the judiciary.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Alternative Means for Dignity project
The Weatherhead Center for International Affairs supports comparative, international, and global research at Harvard University by bringing together researchers from across the university. Its Research Cluster on Comparative Inequality and Inclusion focuses on social dynamics fostering social inclusion and division. The project, Alternative Means for Dignity: Indigenous People in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and the Kichi Zibi (Ottawa River) Region in Eastern Canada, will shed light on how members of groups marginalized under neoliberalism embrace alternative criteria of worth that can protect their autonomy and dignity.
For a political economy conference
The Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation at Harvard University seeks to address threats to American and global democracies with research and field-building in support of robust political equality, fully inclusive institutions, and broader avenues for participation and connectedness, all of which rest on the material and social bases for human flourishing. This grant will support a major multidisciplinary conference to spotlight the new paradigm for political economy to replace neoliberalism that has emerged through the work of many scholars around the globe over many years. The event will bring together scholars, policymakers, journalists and storytellers, and practitioners to lay out, interrogate, and explore the new paradigm and its application to the most pressing policy challenges of our time.
for The People Lab
The People Lab aims to empower the public sector by producing cutting-edge research on the people of government and the communities they are called to serve. The lab studies, designs, and tests strategies to solve urgent public sector challenges in three core areas: strengthening the workforce, improving resident-government interactions, and reimagining evidence-based policymaking.
