“Socio-Economics in a Transitioning World: Breaking Lines and Alternative Paradigms for a New World Order.” was the title of this year’s conference convened by the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE) and held July 20-22 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Members of the Research and Postgraduate Institute of the Faculty of Economics, Government and Communications, who are also part of the Max Planck-UCentral Group, participated in the event and presented their main work.
Felipe González, director of the institute and the group, highlights the work of SASE and the conference, explaining that it seeks to study economics beyond mathematical modeling and adding social perspectives. “He brings together political scientists, economists, sociologists, anthropologists; he always focuses on political economy and is interested in topics such as markets, finance, entrepreneurs, comparative capitalist systems, among others,” he adds.
He comments that it is important to participate in the event because “there is no better academic space to discuss the research that we are producing from the line of economics and society, and also political studies. The convergence is perfect, this is the community that we want to read us, our articles, to comment on us. These are the magazines in which the group publishes, in fact.”
Along these lines, he says that the team submitted eight original research articles, all of which were accepted, which were the ones that they presented and that We take advantage of the opportunity to network with other research centers in Europe, the United States, and Latin America,” he said.with whom we are going to make or are designing agreements for the doctoral program we are going to take in Advanced Social Studies. These agreements will allow us to manage the academic mobility of future students, but also of our academics and those from other institutions who will be able to come to the university.
