Georgia Political Economy Group
The Georgia Political Economy Group (GPEG) is comprised of faculty and graduate students in the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Georgia who share an interest in political economy broadly construed. We read books and papers, engaging in informal discussions about each. We also host invited research presentations and convene workshops on papers written by our membership. If you have any questions about the group please feel free to email the GPEG coordinator. Thanks very much for visiting!
