The Tail End of Globalization: Technology, Markets, Development and Sustainability
5-7 JULY, 2018 | TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF MOLDOVA, MOLDOVA
Deadline 7 April, 2018
The burst of financial and housing bubbles in 2008 set the world on the course toward the tail end of globalization. The last three to four years expressly were punctuated by reverse trends such as de-globalization and de-internationalization. Recent trends in Europe, US, and globally have demonstrated that the world has continued to innovate and there is a lot of power to innovate out there, but most of the time with a negative sign. Recent new global responses in the fields of politics (Brexit, the election of the USA president), science and technology (GM crops, nuclear energy, fracking, global warming, AI, big data, bitcoin), health (eating disorders, immunisation, anti-biotic resistance), social (mass migration, extremism and terrorism, nationalism, sovereignty, slavery) are just handful examples of such innovating powers. In a society of rapid change, seeking to cope with complex, large scale challenges to economic, social and political developments, there is an urgent need for new perspectives and effective ways to improve our understanding and interpretation of complex data, new ideas and innovations. The 2018 ISMD conference is dedicated to exploring such new perspectives and effective ways, aiming to generate interesting, beyond-state-of-the-art research questions and agendas, as well as to convey and effect change and coherence in policy development nationally, regionally, internationally and globally.
