| Description |
The year 2010 represents an important opportunity to reflect on the International Economic system and the roles and responsibilities of the public sector, private sector, and civil society in International Economics. Ten years since the turn of a new millennium, twenty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and eighty years since the beginning of the Great Depression, the ICD will hold "The Berlin International Economics Congress: An Interdisciplinary Analysis of the Roles of Global Politics & Civil Society in International Economics”.
The global financial crisis of the last three years combined with increasing economic integration and interdependence between nation states has highlighted the extensive influence of the international economy on a diverse range of sectors. Foreign policy, research and innovation, trade and investment, environmental policy, social welfare, tourism, business development and practices, and access to education are all areas that are intrinsically linked to the state of the International Economics.
In seeking to explore the challenges and opportunities presented by international economic relations we must therefore take an approach that encompasses perspectives not only from the field of economics, but also from international politics, civil society and the private sector, as well as academic research and theories from political science, social science, and development studies.
