Centre for Political Economy and Institutional Studies (CPEIS)

Description

The Centre for Political Economy and Institutional Studies (CPEIS), founded in 2016, is an interdisciplinary research centre within Birkbeck. CPEIS is committed to enhancing, promoting, disseminating and developing research on key themes in political economy and institutional studies. Its research is organised around three thematic pillars: institutions, governance and accountability; culture, norms and social foundations of political economy; and comparative and applied political economy. These include informal institutions, corruption, law enforcement, institutional accountability, austerity policies, defence economics, trust, financial regulation, public policy, labour economics and industrial relations, and regulatory law. The Centre promotes its research through seminars, workshops, symposia, research meetings, grant development sessions, book launches and policy debates, runs a governance, institutions and sustainability seminar series and a criminology seminar series, and produces a video podcast. It brings together College faculty and students from various Schools, including the Business School, the School of Law, the School of Social Sciences and the School of Historical Studies.
