About Us

The International Political Economy Society (IPES) provides an annual forum for scholars of IPE to present their best new work in progress to an informed and critical scholarly audience. The annual conference is centered on a small number (approximately 75 each year) of selected papers.

IPES is currently hosted by Yale University.

Expenses & Funding

The IPES does not have any permanent institutional support. We charge a registration fee of $200 for faculty and $50 for students attending the conference.

All participants must pre-register. Instructions and registration links will be available in August. All participants are expected to pay their own travel and hotel expenses.

We understand that travel funds are limited for everyone. We hope that the high quality of the meeting and discussions will make this a worthwhile expense.

Format

Each paper is assigned to its own time slot. The author is given 12 minutes to present his or her paper, leaving approximately 15 minutes for questions and discussion from the audience. There is no discussant. After 27 minutes, the session is ended, leaving three minutes to switch rooms. Because all three rooms must run on exactly the same schedule, all time limits will be strictly enforced by session chairs. Authors should carefully plan their presentations to make sure they are no longer than 12 minutes. Multiple presenters on the same paper are discouraged as they almost always exceed the time limit.
