Rationale

Why this conference?

Amid recurrent economic, geopolitical, ecological and digital crises, financial systems are undergoing profound change, with direct implications for economic and social justice.
This conference provides a rigorous, multidisciplinary forum to analyse financialization and innovation (AI, blockchain, DeFi), their disruptive effects, and the legal, fiscal and governance responses they require.

1

Global transformations

Economic, geopolitical, ecological and digital shocks are reshaping value creation, financing and redistribution, placing economic justice at the forefront.
2

Financialization

Since the 1980s, financialization has strengthened markets and widened inequalities; it calls for more equitable regulatory frameworks.
3

Technological innovations

Blockchain, AI and DeFi expand intermediation opportunities but raise issues of governance, data protection and liability—law must anticipate them.
4

Contractual justice & inclusion

SMEs and peripheral publics face barriers to credit; contractual justice seeks fair access to finance.
5

Taxation & intergenerational justice

Tax policy steers transition and redistribution; stronger international coordination is needed against optimization and asymmetries.
6

Rethinking economic law

Refounding economic law around equity, capabilities and solidarity to restore the public interest at the heart of finance.

Conference Objectives

  • Analyse the legal, economic and social effects of financial innovation and financial and economic crises;

  • Explore forms of financial governance capable of ensuring fairer regulation;

  • Examine legal, fiscal and regulatory instruments in the service of economic justice;
