2011 CAPERS V

CAPERS (The Contemporary African Political Economy Research Seminar) is a joint Columbia-NYU Working Group of scholars who study African Political Economy. The group meets twice a year to discuss new working papers. Our focus is on research involving the collection of original data and evidence to move the research agenda forward. The group is comprised of both faculty and graduate students. Researchers from other institutions can apply for a small travel grant to attend CAPERS meetings.
