Conference on Financial Institutions and Economic Security

The purpose of the Financial Institutions and Economic Security project is to delve into the role of financial institutions in supporting or undermining economic security in the advanced nations of the West, and the implications for industrial innovation and economic performance. At a conference to be held in London on 21-22 May, 2009, we will consider the influence of financial institutions on employment security, retirement security, and housing security, as well as the interrelations among these forms of economic security in North America and Europe. Besides creating a forum for debating these issues, we expect that the conference will generate a published volume as well as an agenda and working group for further research.
The conference is being sponsored by the Centre for Innovation, Knowledge and Development of The Open University.
