255 - Section on Economic Sociology Paper Session. Market Processes and Economic Lives in the Era of Neoliberalism

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

Economic sociologists have argued persuasively that the configuration of ideas, policies, and symbols that amount to neoliberal thinking rose to prominence out of varied intellectual streams, political priorities, national reform processes, and global institution-building projects. This session invites submissions on the evolving, multi-sited trajectory of the neoliberal project and the effects of the neoliberal era on markets, policies and economic lives. This including ethnographic and interview-based studies of particular organizational, market and policy domains, including of a supranational kind; national and cross-national studies of liberalization and resistance, including the rise of sustained criticism and anti-neoliberal policymaking; and qualitative and quantitative analyses of households, workers, firms, and nations navigating neoliberalism.
