Financial History Groups Workshops

The Financial History of War and Peace

19th June 2026, LSE

How are wars financed, and how do wartime fiscal arrangements shape post-war political and economic orders? Recent geopolitical developments and rising tensions between global powers have put these questions back at the forefront of the policy agenda.

This workshop, organised by the LSE Financial History Group, brings together researchers working on the financial history of war and peace to examine how fiscal systems and debt operate under conditions of conflict, coercion, and transition, and how they structure political and economic orders.

More information, including a Call for Papers, is available here.
