6th Biannual International Scientific Conference “Globalization and regionalization in the contemporary world: new challenges in the era of geopolitical uncertainty” September 21 & 22, 2023

Since 2012 the Department of International Economics organizes cyclic scientific conferences about recent developments in World economics. A special focus is attributed to globalization and regionalization related topics, both in local, regional and global scale. Our conferences are a forum of exchange of ideas and perspectives, as well as an unique opportunity to widen our Department’s research network. ​

Drawing from the experiences of the previous conferences organized in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2021, we would like to invite you to submit your papers and participate in the following scientific gathering. Like in the past, our ambition is that this year’s conference becomes an international forum for exchange of experiences and views as well as a debate on the development of contemporary world economy.

The aim of the conference “Globalization and regionalization in the contemporary world: evolutions and adjustments in a turbulent environment” is the presentation of research results, scientific discussion and broadly understood exchange of views on the latest directions and trends in the field of globalization processes and international economic integration. The conference is therefore an international forum for exchanging experiences and views as well as discussing issues related to the development of the modern world economy. The Program Council of the conference includes representatives of all major academic centers in Poland covering the area of international economic relations with their research, as well as internationally recognized researchers in this field from several European countries. This year, the main axis of consideration will be new challenges for integration and globalization processes resulting from the increase in global uncertainty caused by such events as the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, international trade and political conflicts, and finally the threats related to climate change and other difficult predictable factors.
