Global Economic Dialogue

The Rencontres Économiques d’Aix-en-Provence have created the Global Economic Dialogue, an international platform designed to confront and renew economic thinking in the face of geopolitical shocks and global transformations. A place for exchange between think tanks and decision-makers.

One ambition: to bring ideas together to rethink the global economy in the face of shocks

In recent years, traditional frameworks of economic and political thought have increasingly lost their relevance. This has led to an unprecedented need to understand the new world that is emerging.

It is from this observation that the Global Economic Dialogue was born, a unique space for collective reflection, bringing together think tanks from around the world with different and sometimes contradictory views on the changes in the global economy.

This unique initiative aims to demonstrate that dialogue is possible, despite differing analyses of major contemporary issues: energy transitions, geopolitical realignments, the future of work, social justice, the role of the state, and democratic challenges.

Far from promoting a uniform vision, the Global Economic Dialogue encourages the productive exchange of ideas. It provides a forum for discussion where the major currents of thought today—whether conservative, liberal, social democratic—can come together. It is a space where disagreements are as illuminating as points of convergence.

Because we cannot think about the economy solely from the perspective of France or Europe, because no single model can provide the answer to global challenges on its own, we chose to give a voice to intellectual institutions from all regions of the world, committed to a demanding and constructive dialogue.
