Economic Change Around the Indian Ocean in the Very Long Run
HARVARD-HITOTSUBASHI-WARWICK CONFERENCE
“ECONOMIC CHANGE AROUND THE INDIAN OCEAN IN THE VERY LONG RUN”

The conference aims to bring together researchers working on the economic history of South Asia and South East Asia, who seek to break free from the constraints of both the older Eurocentric and the nationalistic anti-colonialist literatures which have dominated the economic history of these regions. Work which is quantitative and uses economic analysis is particularly encouraged. We are also keen to encourage work which sheds historical light on the current economic performance of these regions.
We are grateful for the funding from:
