The annual conference of the Association Française pour l’Economie Politique/French Association for Political Economy is a generalist conference that brings together a range of different approaches to economics and seeks to be a sounding board for those seeking to defend the need for pluralism of concepts, ideas and theoretical tools in economics. AFEP also aims to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration in the social sciences around economic issues.
Some 200 delegates who set great store by pluralistic debate around themes in political economy and socio-economics attend the AFEP conference every year
Accordingly, it is expected that a large number of papers addressing (but not necessarily confined to) the following themes will be submitted :
the epistemology and sociology of political economy
macroeconomic policy and theoretical debates in macroeconomics
history of economic thought
political economy and the development of public policies
analysis of industrial and innovation policies
the contributions of political economy to the question of work
the contributions of regional/urban economics with regard to regional development/urban
policies and geography
the links between modeling and political economy
disciplinary and methodological pluralism around political economy
teaching and training in economics
economics and the other social sciences
economics and civil society
Submissions from social scientists other than economists (economic sociologists, management specialists, economic anthropologists, economic historians) and dealing with economic issues will be welcomed.
The AFEP Conference 2026 will be structured around a central theme (coming soon here).
