Though there are numerous studies about economic cycles, such issue remains high importance. In addition, the economic and financial globalization has substantially increased the risks of such cyclical fluctuations as well.
This year’s conference marks the 120th anniversary of economist Nikolai Kondratieff´s birth, as well as the 90th anniversary of the publication of his Mirovoye khozyaistvo i ego conyunktury vo vremya i posle voiny [The World Economy and its Conjunctures during and after the War] (Vologda, 1922), where he first spelled out the idea of long cycles, which is known as Kondratieff cycles or Kondratieff waves (or K-waves for short) later.

The conference will also address issues of global trends and globalization with both national and supranational, group and world interests. Global changes are forthcoming, but not all of them will take a distinct shape. One may say that these will be such changes that could prepare the world for the transition to a new phase of globalization whose contours are unclear yet. All these determine the importance of the discussion of the current processes, which can be analyzed from various angles and with respect to various geographical regions, as well as the importance of activities in the realm of the global forecasting. Invited keynote speakers are: Keith Maskus, Hamid Beladi, Ali Kutan, etc…

In this year´s conference program, beside keynote speech by world-class economists and concurrent sessions by contributed authors, there will be some special features in our conference:
