Theme: The purpose of this symposium is to 
explore new directions in historical and 
theoretical research on the institutional 
properties of markets. In world history markets 
have taken a plurality of shapes in terms of 
their routines, pricing procedures and other 
features. Among the key themes of interest are: 
How have specific markets emerged? What role have 
(national) institution building, codified legal 
systems, property rights and commercial/business 
culture played in the formation of markets? How 
do institutional specificities influence the 
allocation of resources and the determination of 
prices? In what ways do markets play a decisive 
part in determining alternative political 
economies?

Organizing Committee: John Groenewegen, Geoff 
Hodgson, Panagiotis Korliras, Pascal Petit and 
Ioanna Minoglou.
