The aim of the confrence is to assess how globalisation has affected the present types of government interventions. Does globalisation render government's decision-making style more adversarial? Is there a stronger reliance on liberalised markets? Do proactive multinationals assume former roles of government, such as promoting sustainable development, in order to position themselves as ethicaly correct companies? Improtant questions, since the effectiveness of government policies depends on the appropriateness of the available tools to affect decisions by producers and consumers. The process of rapid globalization which has been going on for more than a decade has inevitable led to changes in the choice of government interventions and the ways they are implemented. But what changes have taken place so far? By whom have they been initatied? And how succesfull have they been? Taking stock of these changes is the central focus of this conference.
