Globalization and regionalization in the contemporary world: evolutions and adjustments in a turbulent environment
Since 2012 the Department of International Economics organizes cyclic scientific conferences about recent developments in World economics. A special focus is attributed to globalization and regionalization related topics, both in local, regional and global scale. Our conferences are a forum of exchange of ideas and perspectives, as well as an unique opportunity to widen our Department’s research network.
Drawing from the experiences of the previous conferences organized in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2021, we would like to invite you to submit your papers and participate in the following scientific gathering. Like in the past, our ambition is that this year’s conference becomes an international forum for exchange of experiences and views as well as a debate on the development of contemporary world economy.
The aim of the conference “Globalization and regionalization in the contemporary world: evolutions and adjustments in a turbulent environment” is the presentation of research results, scientific discussion and broadly understood exchange of views on the latest directions and trends in the field of globalization processes and international economic integration. The conference is therefore an international forum for exchanging experiences and views as well as discussing issues related to the development of the modern world economy. The Program Council of the conference includes representatives of all major academic centers in Poland covering the area of international economic relations with their research, as well as internationally recognized researchers in this field from several European countries. This year, the main axis of consideration will be new challenges for integration and globalization processes resulting from the increase in global uncertainty caused by such events as the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, international trade and political conflicts, and finally the threats related to climate change and other difficult predictable factors.
Thematic blocks:
1. Globalization and regionalization: trends and new phenomena
2. Challenges of the European economic integration
3. Contemporary international economic linkages and cooperation
4. International financial markets
5. Financial stability
6. Sustainable development as well as climate and „green deal” challenges
7. International competitiveness at the macro- and microeconomic levels
8. International business
9. Smart city and metropolitan development
10. Special path of the conference: Rogoff’s Conservative Central Banker – 40 years later

Krakow – due to its demographic, economic, social and scientific-cultural strength – ranks second in Poland among cities. It has unique values that are the basis of its economic development and an increase in the quality of life. It has high-quality human capital at its disposal. It is a city people consciously choose as a place to live, work, study, spend free time in a variety of ways. Sustainable development and the ability to meet specific challenges with the skillful use of own resources are the main priorities.
The academic center, with its 650 year old University , is permanently connected with the city and builds an unrepeated resource of knowledge in a unique way. It is the key to competitiveness and innovation not only of Krakow, but also of the entire region. The intensively developing economy based on knowledge is a completely new process in the economic life of the City, which makes it part of the modern economies of the world.
The overriding goal for Krakow is not only to be a modern city but also to be proud of its historical heritage. It aspires to be an open, rich, friendly and safe metropolis, vibrant with culture. Smart management and strengthening the sphere of modern services and the research and development sector are the foundations for the development of Krakow – a city where innovation and effective cooperation between science and business are the focus.
