L'economia mondiale a cavallo di due ere di globalizzazione: al Sant'Anna la conferenza internazionale di YSI Economic History Working Group e Istituto di Economia
Dal 14 al 16 luglio alla Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna si svolgerà la conferenza internazionale "The Nation-State and the World Economy Between Two Eras of Globalization, 1913-1975", organizzata dallo YSI Economic History Working Group e sponsorizzata dall'Institute for New Economic Thinking e dall'Istituto di Economia della Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna.
La nostra visione dell'economia mondiale del XX secolo è generalmente segnata da contrasti: a un periodo instabile tra le guerre mondiali ha avuto seguito una Golden Age senza precedenti nel secondo Dopoguerra.
La conferenza riunisce storici, economisti e studiosi allo scopo di riconsiderare gli anni centrali del XX secolo nel loro insieme.
Come spieghiamo il consolidamento del moderno Stato-nazione in uno scenario di enormi cambiamenti nell'economia mondiale? Quali sono le lezioni da tenere a mente in relazione al mondo dell'inizio del XXI secolo, che da un lato vede una importante rinascita del concetto e del senso di Stato e dall'altro vede l'affermarsi di nuove forme di globalizzazione economica?
Questi alcuni dei temi che saranno affrontati nel corso della conferenza.
