Globalisation, the global financial crisis and the reinvention of the state

 15th May 2012

Keynote Speaker: Professor John Farrar, Emeritus Professor of Law, Bond University.

This seminar will look at the relationship of globalisation, the GFC and the changing role of the state. Globalisation has been a fashionable concept for the last 20 years and filled a gap in US foreign policy after the disintegration of the USSR. The questions now are how does it stand in the light of the GFC and what is the role of the state in the West when facing competition from systems of state capitalism.
