Description

17th General Meeting of the Common Core of European Private Law 2011, http://www.common-core.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=96&Itemid=99

The International University College of Turin ( http://iuctorino.it/) is hosting the: The 17th Annual General meeting - Common Core for the European Private Law" http://www.common-core.org/

Since the crash of the markets in 2008 and overt failure of the Copenhagen summit, the inadequacy of state and market mechanisms to address the most pressing problems of our time has become increasingly apparent and alarming. The current moment, therefore, finds activists, scholars and policy makers urgently searching for new strategies and tactics to not only retool, but also possibly restructure institutional arrangements in domestic and global settings. Over the last couple decades, the rhetoric of ‘the Commons’ has become an increasingly frequent heuristic and mobilizing technique. In the wake of urgent global challenges to both the European Union and the global system, here we are particularly interested in opening the Common Core Project as a platform for exploring the extent to which the comparative law model offers space for understanding and advancing the ‘Commons’. The Conference is organized into three streams (listed below) that take place over the 16th to 18th of June 2011.
