Sciences Po Aix, Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE) and the Department of Economics of Yokohama National University are jointly organizing an international conference on Asian and International Economies in an Era of Globalization, with the support of the Fondation Franco-Japonaise Sasakawa and of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
Our world is undergoing profound changes, reflected in shifts in international economic relations. International economic governance, international trade, international finance, agreements between companies, the globalization of labour markets and migration dynamics: the world of the 20th century is unraveling and opening up new dynamics at the start of the 21st century. Is there anything special about the Asian continent? The aim of the conference is to draw comparisons between Asian countries, but also with Africa, Latin America and emerging and industrialized countries. In an era of heightened hegemonic tensions, a more in-depth analysis is now required. New theoretical models, tools and new empirical methods have to be studied and discussed.
