24-26 October, 2013

In a period of crisis – according to many commentators the most important one since the Great Depression – the governance of an ever increasingly complex world is a major challenge to economics and social sciences, especially in the current stage where no clear consensus has emerged so far in our scientific communities. The aim of the conference is the identification of major propositions of political economy for a new society, grounded on structural, technological and institutional change.

 

We encourage both theoretical and empirical contributions dealing with different levels of governance (countries, industries, firms, individuals), where innovation is viewed as a key driver to stir our complex world out of the crisis. We especially welcome analyses in the field of knowledge dynamics, industrial evolution and economic development, dealing with key issues of collaboration and alliances, small firms, entrepreneurship, growth of firms, corporate governance and performance, agglomeration/dispersion of industrial activities, skills dynamics, economics of science and innovation, environment as a driver of innovation, emergence and persistence of innovation.

 

The first edition of the International Conference The Governance of a Complex World was organized in Nice, France, 1-3 November 2012. For the second edition of this conference in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, a specific interest will be devoted to the theme of ‘Innovation and cooperation as entrepreneurial challenges’.
