This is from the Erasmus School of Law, Erasmus University Rotterdam:
On November 16, 2018, from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm, the Erasmus School of Law (Erasmus University Rotterdam) is hosting a conference on "The Era of Disintegration. Taking Stock of the Dynamics of International Economic Governance in the First Two Decades of the 21st Century," with the support of the Erasmus Initiative for Dynamics of Inclusive Prosperity.
This conference will explore the legal, socio-political, and economic dynamics set in motion by the current model of international economic integration. Whilst promising to smooth out divergences and remove barriers, the intended integrationist architecture of international and regional economic regimes seems in fact to be both sustaining and nurturing patterns of disintegration. Brexit, the Euro crisis, the US challenges to multilateralism, environmental disruptions, and resource-cursed States are only a few examples of how disintegration dynamics are unfolding rapidly at various levels. Academics and practitioners from the fields of law, economics and philosophy of economics will analyze these patterns of disintegration, trying to discern the paradox by which the very instruments and mechanisms that were introduced with the aim of achieving an ever-closer integration may have actually spurred centrifugal and structural fragmenting tendencies.
