Letošní konference je třetí z řady každoročních konferencí o nekapitalistických smíšených ekonomikách. Tentokrát se zabývá tím, jak války v minulosti i dnes přispěly k úspěchu či neúspěchu socialistických projektů po celém světě. Diskutuje se také o tom, jaké procesy v tomto ohledu pozorujeme v současném světě, jaké geopolitické a geoekonomické změny uspořádání probíhají a zda vidíme nějaké možné vyústění směrem k socialismu a/nebo nekapitalistickým smíšeným ekonomikám. Zaměříme se na ekonomický vývoj ve spojení s politickými snahami a silami. Vybrané přednášky budou později publikovány v časopise Eszmélet Journal.
Konference bude vedená v hybridní online/offline formě, pro online účast se prosím předem registrujte na: www.bit.ly/3OP0lnv
Přednášky budou v angličtině a překlad z maďarštiny do angličtiny a z angličtiny do maďarštiny bude zajištěn v programu Zoom pro registrované účastníky online přenosu.

This year’s conference is the third of the yearly Non-Capitalist Mixed Economies conferences. This time it considers how wars historically and today have contributed to the success or failures of socialist projects all around the world. It also discusses what processes we see in this respect in our current world, what geopolitical and geoeconomic reordering is going on, and whether we see any possible outcome toward socialism and/or non-capitalist mixed economies. Our focus will be on economic developments in conjunction with political efforts and forces.
Selected talks will be later published by Eszmélet Journal.
The conference will be held in a hybrid fashion, registration required for online participation on: www.bit.ly/3OP0lnv
The talks will be in English, and translation both from Hungarian to English and from English to Hungarian will be provided in Zoom for registered participants in the online stream.
