Call for Papers – Emerging Economies in Globalized Financial Markets

Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and Friedrich Schiller University Jena invite junior and senior researchers in the fields of economics, law and political science to submit papers for presentation at the 4th Annual Conference of the Graduate School

The deadline for submission is 30 April 2012.

The 2008 world financial crisis and the subsequent European debt crisis accelerated the shift of economic power and political influence from Western countries towards fast growing emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, Russia or South Africa. The G10 became the G20 and country representation at the IMF is likely to change. Thus, the time seems right to address anew the role of emerging economies in globalized financial markets and discuss their participation, interests and responsibilities in a financially globalized world at the 4th Annual Conference of the Graduate School “Global Financial Markets”.

TOPICS: We invite junior and senior researchers in the fields of economics, law and political science to submit papers for presentation. We welcome theoretical and empirical papers as well as case studies focusing on specific regions. Papers should either address the conference’s general subject or more specifically the following panel topics. Each panel will be introduced by a keynote speaker.
– The role of BRIC countries in international financial markets and international financial market regulation: participation, influence and control
Keynote speaker: Peter Draper (South African Institute of International Affairs & WITS University)
– International financial standards – should, must and do emerging markets implement them?
Keynote speaker: Iwa Salami (University of East London)
– The right approach to liberalize financial markets in emerging economies?
Keynote speaker: Frank Westermann (University of Osnabruck)
– Capital control – friend or foe for emerging markets financial services liberalization?
Keynote speaker: Emanuel Kohlscheen (Brazilian Central Bank)

Presentations will be given on 21 & 22 June 2012 in Halle/Germany. A more detailed agenda, including time schedules for the panels, will be available on the school’s webpage: http://www.gfinm.de
