8th International ICSID Conference «Political Economy of Redistribution and Institutional Change»
8th Annual Conference of the International Center for the Study of Institutions and Development (ICSID) «Political Economy of Redistribution and Institutional Change» took place at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow on June 13-15, 2019. Over the years the conference has turned from a small scientific event into a serious platform for discussing actual issues in the field of political economy, and has already become a tradition for many researchers to visit.
Visiting researchers: who are they?
IIMS and ICSID have been actively implementing their Visiting Researchers Program for a long time. Every year, at least ten researchers from all around the world come to Moscow. Most recently, Ashley Blum, a PhD student at the University of California in Los Angeles, visited ICSID and spent about a month and a half in Moscow. We talked to Ashley about her research project and her life in the Russian capital.
Travel grants for Ph.D. students
The Harriman Institute (USA), ICSID long-standing partner, will provide Ph.D. students with travel grants to participate in the workshop “Topics in Political Economy of Development”, which will be held in Moscow on June 7, 2018.
