Call for Papers: Bucharest Conference in Applied Ethics ‘08
BUCHAREST CONFERENCE IN APPLIED ETHICS ‘08 - “Ethical Management, Corporate Strategy, and Sustainable Development” (Conference Program)
Abstract: In a general tendency of adopting more and more ethics and compliance policies, the greatest fear of business-men is for an overwhelming corporate bureaucracy and decreasing decision-making role of company boards and CEOs. The current challenges for businesses also come in conjunction with a troubled world economy and a very aggressive public opinion favoring environmental and social commitment of organizations. This year topic, “Ethical Management, Corporate Strategy, and Sustainable Development”, is meant to bring together both theorists and practitioners interested in Business Ethics, Corporate Governance, Corporate Strategy, Sustainable Development, Organizational Culture, etc., and discuss the current and future challenges for companies from all over the world. The two-day conference will be a debate platform for anyone interested in exploring how sustainable development is linked to ethical management and how can social responsibility help building stronger organizations and business communities.
The keynote speakers will be announced in the early-September.
Submission of Proposals — We welcome submissions from both academics and business people. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
Ethical, Management, Corporate Strategy and Environmental Compliance, Corporate Governance and its Ethical Aspects, Sustainable Development, Human Capital Management and Ethics, The role of the Ethics and Compliance Officer, Corporate Social Responsibility, Corporate Participatory Democracy.

Fundatia Soros Romania, in parteneriat cu Primaria Municipiului Ploiesti, organizeaza vineri, 12 septembrie 2008, ora 10. 30, in Sala de sedinte a primariei (Palatul Administrativ din Ploiesti, etajul 3), dezbaterea “Romii. Povesti de viata”.
Dezbaterea se va centra pe:
- incercarile locuitorilor romi de a rezolva problemele de viata cu care se confrunta: conditii improprii de locuit, servicii publice de calitate scazuta, lipsa oportunitatilor de munca;
- modalitatile de castigare a traiului zilnic si posibile idei de reorientare pentru viitor;
- alte proiecte de viitor ale romilor din Mimiu, in care sunt dornici sa se implice si pentru care mai au nevoie de sprijin.
Intalnirea face parte dintr-o serie de evenimente organizate de Fundatia Soros in lunile iulie

Dialogul liberalismului cu conservatorismul in doctrina populara
Institutul de Studii Populare (ISP) are placerea de a va invita sa luati parte la dezbaterea: Dialogul liberalismului cu conservatorismul in doctrina populara - miercuri, 10 septembrie, la Hotelul Howard Johnson, sala Platinum, incepand cu ora 11:30.
Tema dezbaterii este circumscrisa de intrebari precum: Pot conservatorismul si liberalismul clasic depasi in viitor constrangerile interne si realiza un nou compromis istoric asemeni celui care a dus la nasterea dreptei postbelice sub eticheta de centru-dreapta in secolul XX? Va putea dreapta occidentala sa relanseze experimentul liberal-democratic capitalist in noul context propus de secolul XXI? Poate dreapta romaneasca sa se reinventeze in noile conditii si daca da, atunci cum? Ce pot face liderii intelectuali si politici ai dreptei noastre pentru a face fata provocarilor viitorului? Ca punct de plecare pentru discutie va fi utilizat articolul Reinventarea dreptei de Valeriu Stoica si Dragos Paul Aligica publicat in numarul din August al revistei Idei in Dialog.
