Rethinking Economic Democracy
Workshop at Leiden University, held as part of the Dutch Political Association Meeting, June 1-2, 2017
Conveners: Nicholas Vrousalis and Gabriel Wollner
Description: One remedy against mounting economic inequality consists in democratizing economic institutions. Such democratization may range from giving workers control rights over their places of work, to control rights over firm-specific means of production, to ownership rights over the means of production as a whole. This workshop will bring together philosophers, economists, and political theorists, with the aim of rejuvenating the debate on economic democracy.
We welcome abstracts on topics falling under this theme, broadly construed. Here is an indicative, non-exhaustive list of possible topics: § Workplace democracy § Workplace republicanism and constitutionalism § Representation and the workplace § Workers’ councils § Council communism § Market socialism § Public ownership § Work and the welfare state § Property-owning democracy § Trade unions
Abstract submission: Please submit an abstract (max. 500 words) to: [email protected] by March 10, 2017.
