THE POLITICAL ECONOMY PROJECTThe Political Economy Project is the culmination of several years' worth of networking and planning by the Arab Studies Institute and its affiliate scholars. PEP aims to develop and encourage critical approaches to political economy, interrogating the dominant paradigms and providing insights for alternatives. PEP is intellectual and political at once. Our activities involve not only research, pedagogy, and training, but networking and advocacy toward organic alternatives to existing dominant notions of “development,” growth, redistribution, power relations, and social justice. |
