"21st Century Capitalisms in Europe and Asia: Developing Concepts, Institutions and Partnerships"

organized by the Working Group on Europe and Asia


The post-Cold War triumph of the Anglo-American model of capitalism and globalisation has been resisted or mitigated in various ways both in Asia (new capitalist power house) and in Europe (old capitalist power house). This model has not been perceived as an adequate recipe to deliver sustainable development and alleviate poverty worldwide. The beginnings of the 21st century have shown that the predominance of economic and financial transactions across the Pacific and the Atlantic are increasingly counterbalanced by rising transactions within the EurAsian continent. This trend could lead to the possible emergence of new rules, norms and standards within and among the American, Asian and European power houses in shaping the future of global governance. The rapid growth of the Asian hybrid market economies confronts a variety of continental European capitalist regimes, which themselves used to diverge from the economic and especially social model of America. Therefore, there is a need to assess how and how far Asian and European development regimes may converge, diverge, or mitigate in transforming the capitalist paradigm.

Suggested provisional organisation of the working group sessions during the EADI June 2008 general conference :

(1) A group of papers should address the nature and profiles of European and/or Asian capitalist regimes at national, regional, inter-regional and/or global levels,

(2) A group of papers should address the possible development of new methodological and theoretical approaches to the analysis of capitalism in an Europe-Asia cross-fertilized setting,

(3) A group of papers should address institutional change in Europe and/or Asia, and institutional interplay in an Europe-Asia cross-fertilized setting,

(4) A group of papers should address Europe-Asia economic and social governance partnerships for regional, inter-regional and global sustainable development.
