9th Annual ISCID Conference “Comparative Perspectives on the Political Economy of Development”: findings and opinions

On June 9-11 2020, 9th annual ICSID Conference was held online as many other academic events this year. Even though the traditional format of the conference had to be changed, it also helped attract more participants. We managed to hold lively debates on current problems of political economy. The oral discussion was complemented by parallel polemics in the chat room of the conference. This new format gave participants the opportunity to receive feedback from a larger than usual number of colleagues.
