SNU GSIS BK21 FOUR Program hosts various events inviting prominent figures to deliver distinguished lectures with our Special Lecture Series.

For our eighth session, we have Professor Magnus Feldmann from the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies at the University of Bristol, who will lecture on the theme:: “The Waves of Research on Post-Communist Capitalism: Lessons for Political Economy and Area Studies”.

Please refer to the below abstract and poster for detailed information. Thank you.

*AbstractThis presentation analyses the development of academic debates about post-communist economic reforms and capitalist institutions since the early 1990s. Whilst acknowledging the complexity and diversity of research in this field, the presentation identifies three waves of research on this topic over the past 25 years. It shows that these waves correspond to distinctive research programmes and explores how they relate to broader research traditions in political economy. It shows that each of these research frameworks reflects key challenges associated with the post-communist reform at specific times, from the collapse of communism to the Global Financial Crisis and the rise of populism. It analyses the main theoretical contributions and blind spots of these research programmes and assesses their empirical usefulness in relation to Russia and Central and Eastern Europe. The presentation concludes with some reflections on the broader significance of these debates about post-communist capitalism for political economy, economic reform and area studies.
