(postponed) Student association LPU - Understanding and living globalisation

Important advice: the event has been postponed. The new date has to be yet determined.

The student association LPU (Law and Poitics at USI) invites to the conference "Capire e vivere la globalizzazione" (Understanding and living globalisation). Though globalisation is now part of our daily lives, it represents one of the most complex and disorienting phenomena of our times. But what does it mean to be part of the age of globalisation?

The conference will feature contributions by two guest-speakers: Vito Tanzi, leading economist and former director of finance of the International Monetary Fund and former director of the IIPF, who will present the institutional aspects and challenges of politics in the world of open markets; Michele Marsonet, professor of philosophy of science and director of the department of political science at the University of Genoa, who will instead present the social effects of the encounter/clash between various cultures and representations of the human being.

The event, moderated by Luca Bertoletti of Costumer Choice Center and Giancarlo Dillena, USI lecturer and former editor-in-chief of Corriere del Ticino, will be held in Italian on Lugano campus in room A11, Red building.

The student association LPU (Law and Politics in USI) is committed to fostering the political debate on ideas and current affairs, in student life. Awareness of the complex society that surrounds us is the key to live culture and the study experience to the fullest. For any information, please contact us at [email protected].
