Call for papers

We invite submissions from junior scholars exploring Historical Political Economy in its broadest sense. We welcome diverse topics and methodologies within HPE, with the only requirement being that the research includes data related to historical events. Substantive topics include but are not limited to democratization, political behavior, state and nation building, war and political violence, development, colonialism, or authoritarianism. Approximately 12 papers will be selected for presentation. The workshop will feature both junior and senior scholars as discussants, offering participants the opportunity to receive tailored feedback and engage in in-depth discussions.

The workshop will take place the day before the official EPSA 2025 conference. While the Junior HPE Workshop is independent of the EPSA conference, its timing provides a convenient opportunity to attend both events. Please note that registration for EPSA 2025 must be completed separately, following the conference's regulations.

Funding

We plan to cover food and drinks for all presenters and discussants during the workshop. Unfortunately, we are unable to fund participants' travel expenses, though limited support may be available on a case-by-case basis.
