Event Information
The University of Lincoln is hosting this prestigious conference 17-19 June 2019. It brings together some of the world’s leading academics in the field of development economics. Politicians, economists and business people need to come to terms with new realities that are global, not simply restricted to individual nation states.
- What economic will result from increases in populism and a disenchantment with traditional political processes
- While there is a decrease in membership of political parties and some faith organisations, there is also a rise in direct action and growing interest in religious ideologies.
- Social media and ease of access to information (true or false) are changing the way people think about social, environmental and economic well-being.
On 18th June, there is a great opportunity for business leaders in the East Midlands to mix with this distinguished group. The half-day session will explore how 21st century social and political turbulence may affect commerce and businesses.
