The Saint Anselm College Center for Ethics in Society, in cooperation with the Department of Finance—University of Vienna and the University of St. Andrews Centre for Responsible Banking & Finance, announces a call for proposals for a conference on the economics, ethics, and governance of global commerce.

Significant economic and political changes continue to challenge the established global economic and political order. This time of disruption and shifting economic power is an opportunity to reassess debates about tariffs and international trade, capital and labor flows, and global economic cooperation and governance.

This interdisciplinary conference invites contributions from ethicists, economists, political scientists, international relations scholars, policy experts, and business leaders to examine the political and economic impact of recent events and policy changes. The central goal is to explore how economic cooperation, international trade, and investment can be conducted more ethically as we make sense of this new economic and political era.

Presentations at the intersection of Business Ethics, Trade, and Global Governance are welcome. The organizers are particularly interested in proposals that engage directly with the work of Professor Rodrik on economic globalization, growth, and development.

The conference will take place in person. The organizers will accept proposals for individual presentations, entire panels (3–4 presentations per panel), or academic posters. All proposals or questions may be submitted via email to Kyle Hubbard (khubbard@anselm.edu) by October 31, 2025.
