About

Amin Samman is a PhD candidate at the Department of Political Science and International Studies, University of Birmingham. He holds a BSc in Economics from University College London and an MSc in International Political Economy from the London School of Economics. He is currently co-editor for the Journal of Critical Globalisation Studies.

His dissertation, ‘(Re-) imagining the crises of global capital’, uses the financial crisis of 2008 to explore the relationship between narrative and history in the global political economy. More specifically, it seeks to investigate how different versions of various past crises have come to shape elite understandings of the 2008 crisis. The completed thesis should make a theoretical and empirical contribution to the existing IPE literature on the social construction of economic crisis.

His general research interests include: Constructivist and cultural political economy; Theories of transnational order and change; Financial and economic crises; Meta-­historiography and philosophy of history; and History of economic thought
