Liberalism: Causing or Resolving the Crises of Global Governance?
01 February 2011
Is it a certain interpretation of liberalism that has caused these crises? Is the current world order really liberal? Should liberalism serve as a source to solve these crises or is it time to find alternatives? A student initiative from Frankfurt, Darmstadt and Tübingen supported by the Cluster of Excellence "The formation of normative orders", the association of the friends and benefactors of the Goethe University and the Heinrich Böll Foundation Hessen invites you to this Young Researcher's Conference from 3rd-6th February 2011.
About thirty young researchers from Germany and abroad are going to question whether liberalism is a major cause of numerous crises of global governance. In addition to the crisis of the financial markets we exemplarily point to the crisis of climate change, the protests against the results and processes of international summits or the anger at the western-liberal world order which is perceived as impirial by many non-western citizens.
Key Notes held by leading political scientists from the Rhein-Main region will be added to the seven Panels staffed by young researchers. For further information click here.
