The Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society (CJRES) will be running its fourth conference, ‘Globalisation in Crisis? The Urban and Regional Challenges of the Great Instability’ on 13-14 July 2017.  The crisis of neoliberal globalisation, in all its manifestations, not only poses a challenge to our existing knowledge and approaches, it also provides an opportunity to take stock and think how we might contribute to the search for a new model of economic growth that is more spatially balanced, sustainable and inclusive.  These topics and other related ones will be covered in the conference programme.

This conference will be celebrating  10 years of the Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society.

This conference is also running in conjunction with an ESRC research project, ‘City Evolutions’. For more details regarding the project see: www.cityevolutions.org.uk.
