Emerging Prosperity in Emerging Economies

The development and growth of emerging economies is increasingly fundamental to the global economy, governance and trade. The identities, lifestyles and classes involved in this process towards ‘emerging prosperity’ is of critical importance in understanding the trajectory of emerging economies. It raises questions about how will the needs, desires and demands of the increasingly prosperous be managed. Will citizenship need to be re-thought to incorporate these developments? What role do such individuals and groups have to play as agents of positive and/or negative social change?

Sessions at the conference will include discussions on who constitutes ‘emerging prosperity’ taking into account the wide differences in socio-economic groups, social status and political power in and between emerging economies; as well as exploring the social, economic and political implications of emerging prosperity through issues such as education, inclusion, access, as well as income, wealth, the labour market, and responsibility, civil society and democracy.

Confirmed speakers at the conference include Jim O’Neill, Professor Mthuli Ncube, Professor Crain Soudien, Dr Gerardo Esquivel, Professor Mike Savage FBA, Dr Yang Dian, Professor Danny Quah, Professor Stephen Ball FBA, and Professor Brand Arenari.
