Project description
The impact of women economic thinkers and international organisations on globalisation
Globalisation is blamed for a wide range of effects, from the economic crisis and increased economic inequality to the rise of populist nationalist parties. The EU-funded ECOINT project proposes an innovative theory to study the economic ideas that have marked the processes of globalisation. The project will focus on international economic thinking produced in and through intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) – UN Regional Economic Commissions – and international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) – the International Federation of Business and Professional Women and the International Chamber of Commerce. It will take into consideration important but understudied economic thinkers, many of them women, who have worked with or in these institutions during the 20th century. The project envisages unveiling international economic thinking as well as the role of women and the impact of business in the course of globalisation.
Objective
Today globalization, the integration of the world's economies, is blamed for crises of corporate excess, gaping economic inequality and revived populist nationalisms; to understand its complex history is more pressing than ever. ECOINT advances an innovative approach to the study of the struggles over economic ideas that have fashioned the paths to globalization. It shifts our focus from international economic thought as an unanchored field of ideas, to international economic thinking, generated in and through institutional sites distinctive to the 20th century: intergovernmental organisations and associated international non-governmental organisations. ECOINT adds to the history of globalization important but understudied economic thinkers, namely mid-level and non-intellectual intellectuals, many of them women, working with and in these organizations, from 1919 until 2001. Hence, ECOINT provides a nuanced history of twentieth century international economic thinking and imaginaries, while making a unique contribution to understanding of the international 20th century. Above and beyond, ECOINT will ask: What difference did women economic thinkers make in the course of globalization? And what was the role of business, operating through INGOs?
Using largely neglected private and public archives, ECOINT will produce a capstone global history of international economic thinking, and social history of women economic thinkers in international institutions. It will capture the extent and breadth of international economic thinking at major IGOs particularly the UN Regional Economic Commissions in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Pacific, and Africaand the INGOs the International Federation of Business and Professional Women and International Chamber of Commerce. Within five years, ECOINT will have mapped the range of international economic thinking, the impact of women and business in the complex history of globalization.
