INSTRUCTIONS TO
PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS
Session
Time Allocations: Most sessions are
90 minutes long; several are 120 minutes long. Presenters should take 65% of
the session's time (e.g. no more than 20 minutes per Presenter); Discussants
should take 30% of the session's time (e.g. no more than 9 minutes per
Discussant); the remaining 5% of the session's time should be devoted to
questions from the audience.
Session Chairs:
Assume overall responsibility for your session. Make an effort to contact
the session participants before the meeting. Inform them that each
presentation room will be equipped with an overhead projector and flipchart.
Ask them if they have any special needs relating to their presentation and/or
discussion and, in collaboration with the registration desk, try to satisfy
those needs. Arrive at the session room 10 minutes in advance and make sure that
it is properly equipped. Welcome and introduce the participants. Start the
session on time and adhere to the time schedule. Discussants should follow
presenters. Moderate the open discussion to the best of your ability.
Presenters:
Stay within the allotted time even though it may not be enough! Be well
prepared. For audio-visual equipment other than overhead projectors and
flipcharts, which will be provided in all meeting rooms, contact –
several weeks prior to your arrival at the Conference site – Mr. Vincent Azar
via Fax (514) 284-4306 or Telephone (514) 284-4324. You must have your session
number, day, and time before equipment can be reserved. All arrangements and
charges for such equipment are your responsibility. Please do not just read
your paper. Your presentation of main points, methods, and conclusions should
lead to a fruitful discussion during and after the session. Bring with you and
make available five or more copies of your manuscript.
Discussants:
Be prepared to offer your "positive" remarks first. Then offer any
"negative" remarks in a constructive way. Stay within the allotted
time. If you cannot meet your commitment, please make an effort to find a
substitute discussant, and contact the registration desk as well as the session
chair immediately. Please contribute as much as you can to the discussion of
all papers. If the session's chair is absent, the last discussant listed
should take on the role of the chair.

Session [15]:
Dinner / Keynote Address
Keynote Speaker:
Earl A. Thompson
University of California – Los Angeles, USA.
Professor
Thompson received his PhD. in Economics from Harvard University in 1961.
After serving as an Assistant Professor at Stanford University from l962
through 1965, he returned to his Alma Mater, UCLA, where he has been a
Professor of Economics for the past 30 years.
During
the first 25 years of his career, Professor Thompson published typically novel,
often seminal, articles on pure and applied economic theory in all major U.S.
economic journals. Increasingly, his models resulted in the conclusion
that contemporary U.S. economic institutions -- rather than being the
inefficient result of an inefficient social process that economists almost
universally interpreted them to be were largely the efficient result of an
efficient social process.
Then,
during the 1980's, Professor Thompson’s work turned toward the study of
history. Although this redirection initially was simply used to test new
theories of guilds, economic underdevelopment, and social organization, it
eventually became apparent that the various histories were realizations of an
underlying evolutionary process. A marriage of this process to the
burgeoning field of evolutionary game theory has recently generated Professor
Thompson’s first book, written with Charles Hickson, wherein without suitably
informed intervention efficiency is only a temporary, pre-parasitic, feature of
social evolution.
Title of Keynote Address: WHAT GLOBALIZATION IS REALLY
ALL ABOUT
Popular
characterizations of “globalization” employ the term to merely describe the
increasingly trade-liberalized, multinational-corporation-dominated, world of
the past 10-15 years. They fail to derive the phenomenon from a cohesive
socio-political theory. They thereby fail to identify either its precise
geopolitical cause or its eventual social impact.
The
characterizations of prior episodes of “globalization” have correspondingly
missed the mark by associating them with various historical episodes of
Classical-Economics-inspired free trade. When globalization is understood
in its proper socio-political context, a more appropriate comparison is the
formation of ancient empires, epochs featuring civilization-wide political
centralization.
Our own political centralization is due to the end of the world-wide competition for people represented by the Cold War. With the U.S. thereafter representing the world’s hegemonic leader, it has been able to call the shots for the rest of the world. These shots, correctly evaluated, are predictably in the interest of the U.S. ruling class and against the interests of ordinary people everywhere. Moreover, rather than efficiently redistributing from the world’s masses by simply collecting lump-sum rent, economic ideology is being used, as it has been used since the end of WWI, to create the false impression that the redistribution will economically benefit the world.
