*_Call for pa__pers and sessions_*

The Greek Economic History Association in collaboration with the 
Department of History of the Ionian University, organizes the 4th 
International Conference in Economic and Social History. The Conference 
will address the theme *“Varieties of Capitalism in the Mediterranean 
(18th-20th century)”* and will be hosted by the Ionian University in 
*Corfu on 1-3 October 2020*.

Capitalism is seen as a phenomenon of global history enhanced by 
transnational transactions; the conference seeks to re-examine the 
various forms and patterns of capitalism in the Mediterranean region as 
an essential concept for understanding modernities. Considering the 
pre-eighteenth-century historical experience of capitalist activity in 
the Mediterranean, can we identify Mediterranean patterns of economic 
modernity in individual or group choices, strategies and profits? What 
were the features of merchant and financial capitalism that emerged in 
the Mediterranean after the eighteenth century? What was the role played 
by political authority (imperial, national, colonial) in capitalist 
development? How did the natural environment shape capitalist 
development and how has it been transformed by it? Also in the 
nineteenth and twentieth centuries the Mediterranean world became the 
area of intense economic activity and political conflict that 
transcended religious and - since the nineteenth century – national 
boundaries, and was gradually transformed by the emergence of national 
economies. We invite sessions and papers that will discuss structures 
and behaviors to explore continuity and change in various 
entrepreneurial paths in the Mediterranean.

Other topics that the conference may include are: histories of merchant 
capitalism; pre-industrial and industrial capitalism; pre-capitalist and 
capitalist agriculture; production and consumption; financial 
institutions, sovereign debt and financial control; shipping and port 
economies; mobility and migration networks; class and social structures; 
race and gender relations; culture and capitalism in the Mediterranean.
