Call for Papers
4th Annual Conference of the
Graduate School “Global Financial Markets”
(Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and Friedrich Schiller University Jena)
Emerging Economies in Globalized Financial Markets
June 21-22, 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”.
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: N.N. - 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 www.gfinm.de.
The deadline for submission is 15 April 2012. Full papers or extended abstracts should be submitted
electronically to jasper.finke@jura.uni-halle.de along with your affiliation and email address.
