The world economy faced multiple crises in recent decades – from the Global Financial Crisis to the Euro Crisis, the Climate Crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and, more recently, the war in Ukraine – leading to a renaissance of state intervention in economies throughout the world.

On behalf of Magdolna Sass of the Institute of World Economics, Centre for Economic and Regional Studies (CERS) and László Bruszt of the Democracy Institute, Central European University (CEU), we kindly invite you to submit your papers for the 8th ‘The Role of State in Varieties of Capitalism’ conference.

CEU in Budapest will host the event with a program encompassing two full days of exciting keynote lectures, panel discussions, and presentations.
