Emerging countries at the heart of major global balances
Pays émergents au cœur des grands équilibres mondiaux
Published on Thursday, October 21, 2021
Abstract
The purpose of the conference is to discuss the place of emerging countries in the major world balances. During a previous conference held on 24 October 2019, we identified elements of the notion of emerging countries and noted that they are looking for ways to rebalance power on the international scene. Research must be continued to determine whether their influence in many areas leads to a restructuring of international relations. After exploring international economic law in a comprehensive way, the aim is to examine in detail the positions of emerging countries on economic, political and legal issues: trade, debt and capital flows, competition, regional or global leadership, environment, climate, health and CSR, and the functioning of international organisations. The conference is therefore intended to be multidisciplinary.
