EASET - 2026

 

The purpose of the Symposium is to analyze the viability and determine the directions of development of economic theory for designing a new architecture of scientific global collaboration.

 

The plenary session, thematic sections, and round tables will focus on generating constructive responses to critical inquiries: How can we reconsider classical heritage considering the new normal? How do different schools of economic thought explain the process of transformation of economic relations? How can the scientific community build a sustainable, inclusive and relevant economic science of the future?

 

Addressing these questions adequately requires referencing the views of political economists who study the interaction of economic systems, public institutions, and the state. Thus, in 2026, it was decided to create an institutional collaboration between the XII European-Asian Symposium on Economic Theory and the A.V. Buzgalin International Political Economy Congress. The event aims to establish a unified platform to facilitate productive discussion of innovative concepts and the formulation of novel guidelines for economic research.
