interest in the gender biases and assumptions that play out in state development strategies – especially within the context of debates
around the rise of the regulatory state in Southeast Asia. Her next book The Everyday Political Economy of Southeast Asia (co-edited with
Lena Rethel) is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press.
Lena Rethel is Associate Professor in International Political Economy at the University of Warwick. Her research explores the politics of

Her next book The Everyday Political Economy of Southeast Asia (co-edited with Juanita Elias) is forthcoming with Cambridge University
Press.
Ben Richardson is Associate Professor in International Political Economy at the University of Warwick. His research relates to the
international political economy of trade and development. He is particularly interested in the governance of primary commodities

BEST GRADUATE STUDENT PAPER AWARD SUPPORT
The organizers wish to thank Palgrave Macmillan, publisher of the Palgrave International Political Economy series and the Global
Reordering Pivot series, for sponsoring the Best Graduate Student Paper Award.
Palgrave IPE Series
For over 30 years, the IPE series edited by Timothy M. Shaw has tracked the development of the global political economy in both analysis
and structure over the last three decades. It has always had a concentration on the global South. Now the South increasingly challenges
the North as the centre of development, also reflected in a growing number of submission and publications on indebted Eurozone
economies in Southern Europe. An indispensable resource for scholars and researchers, the series examines a variety of capitalisms and
connections by focusing on emerging economies, companies and sectors, debates and policies. It informs diverse policy communities as
the established trans-Atlantic North declines and ‘the rest’, especially the BRICS, rise.
Palgrave Global Reordering Pivot Series
Edited by Shaun Breslin and André Broome, the Global Reordering Pivot series explores how the contemporary dynamics of the global
political economy and global security in the twenty-first century are experiencing a series of fundamental transitions, which are
challenging and transforming the existing global order. Based in the Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation at Warwick
and building on a major EU funded research project on Global Reordering, the series focuses on changing modes of global governance
and multipolarity; global public policy networks; emerging powers and multipolar alternatives; regions and regionalism; as well as
regional and global leadership. Recent publications in the series include The Year the European Crisis Ended by Erik Jones and The
European Union in a Multipolar World by Megan Dee.

GUIDANCE FOR PANEL CHAIRS
Session chairs are welcome to spend two minutes following the presentations to briefly reflect on the core contributions of the papers
before taking audience questions. Strict time management of the length of presentations (10-15 minutes) will help to keep each session
on schedule and allow sufficient time for questions, discussion, and debate.
GUIDANCE FOR PAPER PRESENTERS
Each presenter should talk for a maximum of 10-15 minutes outlining the main theoretical argument or empirical findings in their paper.
PowerPoint facilities will be available and presenters should load slides before their panel session starts to avoid delays. ‘Theory note’
and ‘research note’ papers should be 3,000-4,000 words in length, based on the following instructions for authors:

Theory notes should make a straightforward intervention in an ongoing theoretical or conceptual debate or dilemma that speaks
directly to one of the conference section themes on New Directions in IPE. Theory notes should make an important and compelling
argument about theoretical innovation and theory development in IPE, and should demonstrate the relevance to empirical research
and how this advances the ‘state of the art’ in the field.

Research notes should make a novel and focused contribution to empirical knowledge that speaks directly to one of the conference
section themes on New Directions in IPE. Research notes should include preliminary empirical findings that demonstrate the
importance and novelty of the research, as well as their relevance to important theoretical or empirical discussions in the field.
Conference papers submitted by May 7th are available to download at: www.warwick.ac.uk/ipeconference/conferencepapers
