Pathways Beyond Neoliberalism: Voices From MENA Project
Pathways Beyond Neoliberalism: Voices From MENA is a research program based in The American University in Cairo (AUC). The program is hosted by the School of Global Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP). It is on a five-year Ford Foundation grant (2022-2027).
About the Program
Our AUC-based program is part of a larger project involving universities in India, South Africa, Colombia, and Mexico. The AUC program focuses on the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA).
The core mission of our program is to contribute to changing the narrative of the economy in academia and policy circles, and subsequently to how the economy is related to politics, going beyond the predominant neoliberal paradigm. Conversely, we aim at depicting the theoretical contours of an alternative accumulation model that is more equitable and sustainable. The notion of an "accumulation model" we adopt, considers the production of economic value as a social process. This challenges the economistic approach to the market as an autonomous area of formally rational economic agents, which is inherent in neoclassicism and neoliberalism.
Publications
Our publications are academic knowledge production and research dissemination efforts aimed at changing the narrative of the economy in academia and policy circles, as well as demonstrating how the economy is moving beyond the neoliberal paradigm.
