Title: "Reading Polanyi in the Late Neoliberal Era: A Critically Optimistic Perspective."
Who is Peter Evans? Peter B. Evans, senior fellow at the Watson Institute Brown University, is also professor emeritus in sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. Evans is one of the leading figures in the sociology of development, having in particular been at the forefront of theories of the developmental state. Author of many influential books, Evans' Embedded autonomy: states and industrial transformation (1995) is the classic comparative study of the developmental state in the Global South. He has also authored a range of highly influential articles on theories of comparative development, development policies, the relationship of states to class actors, the dynamics of state-society relations, globalization and labor. Most recently Evans has explored the role of the “21 Century developmental state” synthesizing new developments in economic theories of growth with his own work on the political foundations of effective states.

Evans serves on the board of the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development and as an advisory group member of the Effective States and Inclusive Development Research Centre-Consortium of the Institute for Policy Development and Management, the University of Manchester, and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
