The Warwick Manuscript Development (WMD) sessions begin this week, with ten early career authors who have a single authored manuscript in development discussing their ideas with ten discussants from the UK, northern Europe, Australia, and the U.S. Featured authors from CSGR include James Brassett, Paul Lewis, and Eleni Tsingou.

Authors and discussants are coming from a range of institutions, including the University of Warwick, the Australian National University, the Copenhagen Business School, the University of Copenhagen, the University of Manchester, the University of Nottingham, the University of Sheffield, the University of East Anglia, the University of Sydney, Sussex University, and St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. Also attending are major British publishers of IPE (International Political Economy) work, including Cambridge University Press, Palgrave Macmillan, and Routledge. The WMD sessions are the first step in an ongoing effort from CSGR to promote research excellence from early-career scholars. A full programme is available here.
