Crossroads of Cultures and Firms – participants

Cartaz_CrossroadsCulturesFirms_Agosto16
Globalization, or the increased interconnectedness and interdependences of peoples and countries, is generally understood to include two interrelated elements: the opening of borders to increasingly fast flows of goods, services, finance, people and ideas across international borders; and the changes in the system of values and institutional regimes at the international and national levels that facilitate or promote such flows. Globalization has both positive and negative effects, on local economies, cultures, city planning, political systems and human societies themselves around the world.
The objective of this seminar is to discuss the wide range of issues on globalization, mobilizing long term and interdisciplinary perspectives for understanding their characteristics and challenges. The notable case of the Japan-Portugal relations will be singled out, summoning to the general discussion this particular cross-cultural encounter. The seminar will also try to address the best ideas and practices of sustainable growth and prosperity of local and global economies.
