About ISINI
ISINI – the International Society for the intercommunicate of New Ideas is an international society composed of scholars and humanists in the areas of economics and the social sciences in general. It is devoted to the study of economic and financial thought, as well as current economic problems such as economic and financial globalization, climate change, economic development, sustainable growth, structural change in resource distribution, capital and ideology, poverty, future of work (both paid and unpaid). Through the interaction and exchange of ideas and information among its members, as well as with non-attached scholars, it seeks to create or recreate alternative paradigms that can help to formulate adequate policies to solve those problems.
According to the STATUTES and BYLAWS, the purpose of the society is threefold:
- To foster and support the discovery and dissemination of new ideas, in particular in economics and other social sciences and to arrange for their testing (logical and/or empirical) in the realm of various possible social, economic and political systems, as far as analysis can go.
- To initiate and cultivate contact and consultation not only among economists, financial economists, sociologists and political scientist but also between social and natural scientists including men of arts and letters.
- To study systematically (using both theoretical and practical reason) the application of new ideas to problems of the real world of today and tomorrow in various existing social regimes and considering the diverse levels of development and historical circumstances. A priority goal is to elaborate development, stabilization, and transitional plans for the various countries where the Society is represented.
The concept of intercommunication is preparing the ground for more interdisciplinarity and even for transdisciplinarity. All economic phenomena have their cultural, social, individual, political and moral dimensions, but the fundamental ones seem to be those that are intimately linked with human ends and the adequate means for fulfilling them.
One of the main characteristics of this Conference is the way we select suggestions and papers for being accepted and published. Since some decades we experience a paradox coming from the inevitable conflict between modern and postmodern thinking, old and new, conservative and revolutionary thinking. As a society for new ideas (ISINI) we, the organizers, try to offer space for an open dialog, for fresh and even untested ideas. Old ideas in new context(s) are welcome as well, especially if they are accompanied by proposals, solutions or suggestions for the future. We only suggest some themes and possible sections to be created depending on the proposals received, but please keep in mind the large scope area we are thinking of: financial and managerial studies, cultural studies, marketing and communication, semiotics, informatics and linguistics, anthropology, religion, psychology and sociology, strategic (military included) thinking, philosophy, methodologies of research etc. etc. An ideal case is to try to connect all these with our proposed themes, but this is not compulsory. New ideas are welcome no matter the domain, field or discipline.
