About the Public Policy Workshop Series:

Workshops on the State: Public Policies on Industrialization, Sustainable Development, and the Welfare State

The purpose of these workshops is to bring together students and faculty who are interested in exploring the nature, challenges, and possible limitations to state policies that address the complex links between poverty reduction, job creation, environmental sustainability, globalization, and industrialization. Given the deeply problematic empirical and theoretical nature of free market policies, our goal in this workshop will be to analyze alternative or "progressive" socio-economic policies.
