What Role for Economic Literacy in Democratic Reform? CERGE-EI Foundation Joins Forum 2000 Annual Conference on Democracy and Education
4 September, 2015
From Tahir to Maidan to the Parthenon, governments struggle to reconcile the demands of their population with the realities of the global marketplace. How can societies reconcile democratic governance with often unrealistic expectations for immediate gratification? What can educators and civil society do to create the broad-based economic literacy required to reconcile free and fair elections with the often painful strategies necessary for long-term growth?
On Monday 14th September at 1400 CET, Randall Filer, President of the CERGE-EI Foundation moderates a panel of leading economists with broad public policy experience at the Forum 2000 annual conference in Prague. Joining Professor Filer on the conference platform are:
- Professor Nicos Christodoulakis, Minister of Economic Development, Greece; Professor of Economics, Athens University of Economics and Business
- Oleg Derevianko, Deputy Minister for Education, Ukraine
- Dr. Ahmed Galal, Director of Economic Research Forum; Former Finance Minister, Egypt
- Dr. Sandra Švaljek, Research Associate, The Institute of Economics, Zagreb; Former Deputy Mayor of Zagreb
