The Willy Brandt School welcomes Professor Irene van Staveren, Professor of Pluralist Development Economics at the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS), Erasmus University Rotterdam and author of “Economics After the Crisis: An Introduction to Economics from a Pluralist and Global Perspective."

 

What role does power play in shaping economic development, and how adequately do conventional economic theories account for it?

Drawing on her work in pluralist, institutional and feminist economics, the lecture will explore the role of power in development economics, inviting reflection on how economic theories explain inequality, institutions and development outcomes.

The lecture is open to students, researchers and all interested members of the university community.
