Type: 5th International Philosophy Politics and Economics Conference Institution: Witten/Herdecke University Location: Witten (Germany) Date: 17.–19.4.2020 __________________________________________________ To what extent is the Global South dependent on the Global North and vice-versa? Who is going to carry the burden of climate change? Is the Global North – Global South concept still relevant and does it explain inequalities in our modern world? These and other questions will be tackled at the 5th International PPE Conference bearing the title: "World-scale Justice: Beyond Global North & Global South?” which will take place from the 17th to 19th April 2020 at Witten/Herdecke University, Germany. What is the International PPE Conference? Every year, the International Philosophy Politics and Economics Conference brings together a body of international scholars and students of various backgrounds and academic levels. The main purpose of this student-organized conference is to prompt the reflection around a thought-provoking theme at the crossroads of the fields of Philosophy, Politics and Economics. This is achieved in the course of an immersive 3-days event featuring seminars, workshops, discussion arenas, interactive panel discussions, presentations of student papers and networking moments. What is the conference about? The 5th International PPE Conference will focus on issues of global justice and responsibilities by looking closer at the so-called Global North-Global South socioeconomic divide. Our learning goal is to help participants master the fundamentals of the debate around world-scale inequalities, development, climate change and migrations, as well as to provide you with all the critical tools to raise further questions about this topic. Who will speak at the conference?
