The Department of Finance at the University of St Andrews Business School

in cooperation with the Department of Finance, University of Vienna, and the Center for Ethics in Society, Saint Anselm College, announces a call for proposals for an interdisciplinary conference on economics, ethics, and global governance in banking and finance.

The current economic turmoil driven by war, geopolitical tension and inflation is amplifying uncertainties and instability. As such, banking systems are again entering the centre stage, together with unregulated crypto markets and a lack of integration of international financial markets. These developments raise again questions about ethical behaviour in business, socially responsible investments, governance, risk-taking and protective regulation.

Topics of particular interest include:

Resiliency and Sustainability	Supply-Chain, International Commerce
Banks Ownership	Financial Integration and Innovation
Corporate Governance	Ethics
Social responsibility	Global Governance

The goal of this interdisciplinary conference is to bring together ethicists, economists, political scientists, international relations scholars, policy experts, and business leaders to examine how banking, international trade and investments can be conducted more ethically in a post-pandemic and conflict context.

 

Submissions

Please submit an extended abstract or full paper (full papers will be given priority). We will accept proposals for individual presentations, entire panels (3-5 presentations per panel), or moderated roundtable discussions. All proposals may be submitted via email to Dr Maria Chiara Iannino, mci@standrews.ac.uk, by 15^th September 2023, and replies will be provided by mid-September. All presenters will be required to submit completed papers by 1^st November 2023.
