CONFERENCE “Inequality and Globalization in the post-covid era”

CONFERENCE

INEQUALITY AND GLOBALIZATION IN THE POST-COVID ERA

Organization: CEI International Affairs

With the collaboration of: Master Internationalization UB – Master Financial Markets UB, Fundación “la Caixa”

Date: Friday, October 15, 2021

Place: Palau Macaya (Passeig Sant Joan, 108 – Barcelona)

The coronavirus crisis has catalyzed previously existing tensions, including the interconnected challenges between misgivings about globalization, inequalities with an impact on social friction, and growing evidence of the magnitude of environmental problems, all in an environment of profound technological change to which those related to health should now be added to the fore. Covid-19 has generated dynamics that widen inequalities, related to the unequal ability to adapt to new forms of work, while public powers try to measure up to increased responsibilities. The dynamics – national, regional, and global – are affected by these new dimensions. Are references to the need for a “new social contract” that is inclusive, sustainable, and global, voluntaristic approaches or a path that is as difficult as it is necessary? In what lines and with what scope is progress being made … or not?
