Call for Papers : Banking and allied issues

About the Conference

     Of the many explanations relating to the catastrophic global financial crisis of 2008 some view it as a crisis confined to the banking and securities industry while others see it to be more fundamental than that. The financial crisis was a reflection of a much deeper crisis within traditional economics and finance which can also be regarded as a crisis of Western Institutional design-financial architectures based upon flawed principles of lending. A growing number of influential thinkers see the crisis as a series of institutional failures in how the financial services industry is governed and have examined in some depth the structure and regulation of financial services, questions of governance, issues of ethics and financial innovation. These individual subjects are, however, interrelated and some can complement others but they have not been examined together as a total system; nor have alternative approaches to institutional design founded on a set of alternative ethical principles. The big unanswered questions are what mix of regulation, governance, innovation and ethics will fix the financial system and what insights can non-western thinking contribute to the discussion.

The present Conference is expected to provide a forum for discussion and critical analysis of the major challenges in finance and banking sector and networking amongst academics, policy-makers, research students, practitioners and Post Graduate students in the subject. The conference organizers would like to invite the submission of papers relating to all aspects of banking and finance; both theoretical and empirical papers are encouraged in areas which include, but are not limited to:

• Banking in Asia • Asset Pricing

Call for Papers: International Conference Global Migration: Rethinking Skills, Knowledge and Culture

Globalization has brought about a new paradigm where socio-cultural, political, and economic landscapes get exposed to unexpected dynamics of challenges and change. It thus becomes a matter of both challenge and opportunity for the home and host countries.

On the one hand, the economic changes over the past hundred years that includes close integration, opening of trade, ideas and information, have resulted in benefitting the industrially developed economies. On the other hand, for the developing economies, the challenges remain though of different level and kind. However, the changed circumstances globally also bring along opportunities for these states to help them overcome the challenges.The increased movement of people has resulted in theglobal development of new ideas, intercultural linkages, democratisation of global space etc. In this scenario, diaspora has emerged as an important player in the transnational sphere for both thehome and host countries.

The actual process of engaging diaspora in the development process remains a challenge for the home countries. Policies result from a complex interplay of local and global conditions, including the role of lobby groups, socio-economic and political conditions of the country, level of institutional development, technological progress. This engagement process is also mediated by the social and cultural identities of the diaspora that are not just diverse but also contested. The challenge faced by the developing countries in this regard is very different from that of the industrially advanced states.

In recent years, the policies related to human and financial capital have been gaining serious attention. Contrary to the idea of brain drain that dominated the development debate in the 60s and 70s among the scholars and policy makers of developing countries, diasporas in the age of internet are viewed as instruments of human, financial and social development of both the host and the home state. Many developing countries in the recent past have been playing a significant role in channelizing the resources through various institutional mechanisms by engaging both the government and non-governmental institutions. Developing countries have managed to channelise financial resources from their diaspora quite effectively. India has emerged as the largest recipient of remittances in the world surpassing China in the last few years. Financial capital accumulated by diaspora abroad is often repatriated to the country of origin in the form of remittances or direct investments. Human capital plays an important role in this regard and is effectively transferred across borders with the use of ICT, creating opportunities in several sectors such as higher education, training, research and development, etc. There are evidences of successful diasporic knowledge transfer in areas such as IT and Healthcare. For instance, the success of Bangalore IT boom and corporate healthcare may be attributed to the contribution of the high skilled Indian diaspora in the US.

The multidirectional engagement between diaspora and homeland is more intensive with the help of virtual platforms. There are multiple dynamics involved in shaping the contour of the diaspora and engaging them with region, nations and transnational spheres.

Conflicts and engagement in the development are simultaneous with many diasporas. However, there is a need to engage positively with all dynamics rather than ignoring the force that is so important in the globalised world.

Skills and Knowledge

Globalisation altered the economic activities in a great manner. The development of service economy and ICT has created demand for new skills and knowledge. Many developing countries suffered the initial brain drain due to the lack of absorption capacity of their skilled human resource and subsequent backwardness in the new economy. However, the scenario has been changing over time due to the globalised and mobile workforce that brought back not just financial capital but also human capital in terms of skills and knowledge.

This conference will delve into the knowledge and skill development aspect of the diaspora that remains one of the major policy thrust area in many developing countries and also how their potential can be harnessed for the development of the homeland.

Cultural Development

Cultural development is an umbrella term that relates to wide array of human activities. An active diaspora has a strong attachment with the homeland. The cultural bond with the homeland constitutes a very strong form of belonging for the diasporic communities.The conference will discuss in greater details such cultural aspects, namely, Films, literature and religion etc. so as to provide a more coherent picture of diaspora and its interrelated dynamics.

Though the core areas remain Skill, Knowledge and Cultural development, the conference is open to papers that may not directly fall into the area but provide insight into the broader aspects of diaspora and development dynamics.

 

About the Conference

The conference will bring together scholars from diverse fields such as academic, civil society and policy from different countries. The conference intends to provide comparative perspectives in diaspora engagement. The papers will be published in a book by an international publisher.

The conference will have more wider reach and try to represent as many countries possible so that both macro and micro perspectives and diversities of issues will be covered. There are several countries actively engaged in policies and working on a new paradigm of global engagement to tap resources in the globalised world ever increasing human mobility.The conference is conceived to address these issues, both conceptual as well as applied areas so as to give a wholistic approach to understand the issue.

9TH INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON GOOD GOVERNANCE

9TH INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON GOOD GOVERNANCE

9th International Seminar on Good Governance
Institute for Social Development & Research is going to organize the 9th International Seminar on Good Governance.

Date: 23rd – 25th April, 2016
Venue: Institute for Social Development and Research, Gari Hotwar, Hotwar, Ranchi

About the Seminar

Recently the terms “governance” and “good governance” are being increasingly used in development literature. Bad governance is being increasingly regarded as one of the root causes of all evil within our societies. Major donors and international financial institutions are increasingly basing their aid and loans on the condition that reforms that ensure “good governance” are undertaken. The concept of “governance” is not new. It is as old as human civilization.

Simply put “governance” means: the process of decision-making and the process by which decisions are implemented (or not implemented). Governance can be used in several contexts such as corporate governance, international governance, national governance and local governance. Good governance has 8 major characteristics. It is participatory, consensus oriented, accountable, transparent, responsive, effective and efficient, equitable and inclusive and follows the rule of law. It assures that corruption is minimized, the views of minorities are taken into account and that the voices of the most vulnerable in society are heard in decision-making. It is also responsive to the present and future needs of society.

Sub-Themes:

Good Governance and Literature

Ethics and Good Governance

Social Dimensions and Policies

Environment and Good Governance

Ban on Office Strike and Road Close

Consumerism and Privatization

Downfall of Political Leadership

Corruption and Good Governance

Human Rights and Good Governance

Good Governance and National Security

Difficulties of Good Governance

Any issue related to the central theme

Ms. Dilshad Kaur Mrs. Deepika Sharma Dr.Varinder Gandhi M.S.Sawhney
Convener Coordinator Principal Patron-in-Chief
Dear Sir/ Madam,
“Life” is not only an all inclusive word but also all exclusive too since it includes death or an end too. The dynamics of this word lies in its beginning, its process of evolvement, its development, different stages and levels; its science, philosophy, religion and literature which has fascinated human mind since ages but the question still remains unresolved to the entire satisfaction of reason and faith. The query regarding the origin of life has basically three reference points – 1. Is earth living or non-living?, 2. Is life a product of “chance” or gift of God? and 3.Is this wholeness of existence means manifestation of consciousness? Along with it we must keep in mind the fundamental question i.e. what life is or what life means otherwise we may end up creating a chimera due to the limits of language and human reasoning. Human mind can neither claim complete understanding of the vastness of infinity nor can it reason out satisfactorily what nothingness is. So with an open minded approach and a lot of patience, we need to understand, investigate, explore, unfold the mystery inherent in the concept “life” and an enquiry into this case from various point of views or perspectives is quintessential. If you think you are a scientist or rationalist then you may not be able to deal with the question of “why life at all” but for a God-believer it is so simple to answer in terms of “wish of Almighty” and if you think you are religious person then the problem of ‘rationale of life’ becomes difficult to handle as all men are born to die then why live at all and so on … There is a long list of arguments and counter arguments as they can help us to unveil the mystery that has shrouded the ‘origin of life’ and the word origin must be understood from a larger and wider perspective – how life manifested, emerged, evolved, produced or created (जीवन की उत्पत्ति, आविर्भाव, उन्मेष, अभिव्यक्ति,) and what we mean by life about which we wish to know and make enquiries. In this thought sharing seminar, we wish to make serious efforts to decode the mystery of origin of life simultaneously and let this issue be not hijacked by any one discipline i.e. science alone or philosophy or myths (please do not think myths to be untrue/ lie / fake/ non-real simply because their terms, concepts are not like science as science has its own limitations).
We may deal with this topic from any view point/ belief/ understanding / perspective but we must understand that there are two basic facts -1. the things which have been given to mankind without his any contribution and they are like – earth, air, water, fire, space etc. etc along with life and 2. mankind has developed symbols for whatever has been given or granted to him and these symbols are of two kinds i) scientific symbols and ii) mythological symbols. Both symbols –scientific and mythological are as good as they can be and one cannot reject these either.
So as an enquirer organizer our humble submission to you is to participate in this discussion with open mind i.e. without a pre-conditioned mind as we feel that confusion is better state than conclusion because confusion means we are alive, we are looking and conclusion means there’s nothing more to know, it’s dead end and most of the time conclusions are irrelevant as they do not become part of one’s reality or experience. So we welcome you to share your views/ ideas/ understanding/ experiences/ knowledge/ information/ belief and confusion too with other seekers/ scholars.
Suggested topics (you are free to choose any other topic/issue which you deem relevant.)
1. What life is?
2. Islamic/ Christian/ Buddhist/Jain/ Sikh perspective of origin of life
3. Vedic/ Pauranic/ Tantric/ Dharam-Shaastriya idea of Origin of life
4. Greek/ Arabic/ African/ Chinese/ Indian myths about origin of life
5. Principles of Biology about life and Chance factor
6. Eastern and western philosophical reasoning about the origin of life
7. Defining the term, idea, concept of life in English/ Hindi/ Punjabi/ Sanskrit Literature
8. Why only earth is blessed by Life?
9. Can life be defined from the death perspective?
10. What is living and what is non-living in the cosmos?
11. Life = Matter + Consciousness?
12. Defining life through five basic elements (earth, air , water, fire and sky)
13. Scientific, literary and mythological symbols of life

Call for Papers@ OP Jindal Global University

The OP Jindal Global University, the Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and the Anti-Corruption Law Interest Group of the American Society of International Law are organizing the first ever Conference of Business Ethics and Corruption in the Globalized World.

The collapse of Lehman Brothers and the subsequent financial crisis has opened debate on the wider role of business in society. As the regulations guiding transnational flow of trade and investment become increasingly permissive, technology reduces distance, and markets and supply chains get more integrated, modern business entities can be seen as inhabiting a global society. In such a society a corporate entity cannot be seen as a mere automaton guided by “self-interest” but as a moral entity that has citizenship obligations of its own. One critical obligation is that businesses shall not engage in acts of corruption.

Corruption can be defined simply as abuse of public office for private gain. (World Bank 1997).There can be ethical, economic and rights based arguments against business participation in corruption.

Thomas Donaldson and Thomas Dunfee propose an integrative social contract theory whereby business and society enters into an agreement of mutual rights and obligations, suitable for their circumstances. Though the term of these contracts may vary with the demands of the given society, they are subject to certain hyper-norms, i.e. overarching norms to which these contracts are subject. The prohibition of corruption is one such hyper-norm. As Steven Salbu points out, corruption is disfavored by all societies in all points of time. Susan Rose-Ackerman argues that prohibition of corruption is an obvious corollary of laws that allows business to exist.

Scholars across disciplines like Susan Rose-Ackerman, Johann Lambsdorff, Robert Klitgaard, Philip Nichols, Andrew Spalding, Daniel Kaufman and Shang-Jin Wei et al have comprehensively marshaled together research that demonstrates the impediment to economic growth, degradation of social and political institutions, misallocation of resources and skills, impoverishment, and numerous other societal ills that corruption inflicts on polities and economies. Research also shows that corruption acts as a regressive tax on companies, inhibit firm growth affect corporate structuring etc. Thus to use the simple economic paradigm, corruption can be seen as welfare decreasing and hence as a fit target for corporate and commercial regulation.

Corruption can also be seen as a violation of human rights. It is an impediment to access to justice and rule of law, both fundamental human rights (C Raj Kumar 2011). Alternatively if one adopts the capabilities approach of Dr. Amartya Sen, widespread and systemic corruption can be seen as impediment to freedoms and reduction in the capability of the citizen to democratic participation. Thus the issue of corruption by business organizations merges into the wider issue of the obligation of business to uphold human rights.

These approaches to corruption are not necessarily in conflict with each other but supplement each other in framing law and policy.

‘You judge me because you don’t know me. You won’t know me because you’ve judged me’
I made that quote up, but I’m positive I’ve read something similar a long while ago and it made so much sense. Each of us on this planet has been created distinctly different from each other with regards to our physiology, emotions, intellect and psychology. To make matters more complicated, the persons who we are, are continuously shaped by families and communities, religions and races, national beliefs and borders, ethnicity and inter-generational traditions, besides the strongly enforced inherited cultural values. And then, there is the media in all its forms, educating us about life, death and survival.

Our existence and role on this planet as humans is very often questioned. Our identities have been continuously challenged, our beliefs often contradicted. Who are we? Where do we come from? Does our skin colour decide how beautiful we are? Is it important to be beautiful? What if men are actually from Venus and women from Mars? Who do we pray to? Do we need to pray? National borders – are they necessary? Can’t we sing the same anthem and salute one flag?

We travel the world, meet so many different people, taste varied cuisines and learn to speak multiple languages, does this make us global citizens? All these questions need an answer…

Pack your bags for a Global Gathering and catch a flight to Goa. Living lifestyles apart from the rest of India, with distinct festivities, celebrations and recreational habits, Goans have been loved and hated for being blessed with such a liberal atmosphere. It’s not just the socio-cultural environment that makes this coastal state special, but the humid, yet breezy tropical weather causes it to be the perfect spot for a spiritual vacation. Vast stretches of sea and shore; kitchens that produce delicious seafood; green fields and football fields; streets selling beer and binge meals, houses that remind us of the Portuguese and of course the musical harmony that binds people from different communities together – this is Goa and this is why you ought to be on that flight.

Global Gathering, Goa 2016, is designed to attract mediators, law-makers, law-keepers, peacekeepers, thinkers, philosophers, academicians, journalists, spiritual leaders, political scientists, artistes, performers and every other professional committed to making this world a better place. The first edition of this event will take place on February 29 and March 1, 2016 in Goa, India. Spanning across two days, the event will cover debates, discussions, dinners and a whole lot of entertainment. It will facilitate networking among peers and professionals, besides providing a taste of Goa. If you looking to combine business with pleasure, then register to be part of Global Gathering, Goa 2016.

Peace has never been celebrated at a better venue. See you soon.

Jonathan Rodrigues
CEO, Global Gathering, Goa 2016.
