Conference announcement

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

This message comes to you on behalf of the conference committee of the
Conference of Socialist Economists (CSE).

CSE will be holding a conference on 1st and 2nd July 2000 in London,
entitled Global Capital and Global Struggles; Strategies, Alliances,
Alternatives.

The aim is to promote a dialogue between academics and activists on the
process of neoliberal globalisation and how to resist it. Topics such as
the Seattle Round, the politics of the IMF/World Bank, Fortress Europe, the
internationalisation of the labour movement, etc. will be discussed (see
text at the end of the message).

We are looking for other organisations and web sites through which to
publicise the conference.
If you or your organisation can help in this way, please either:-

1) distribute what follows in cyberspace or on paper, preferably in the
`attached file' version which can be printed out as a proper leaflet

2)contact us and we will send you paper leaflets - say how many you can use
and where they should be sent

3) consider if you could mention the conference and the CSE web site in
your magazine, newsletter etc

4) consider if you could do some kind of `swap deal' on publicity with CSE
- you put our leaflets in your mailing, we put yours in ours; reply by
e-mail in the first instance to open discussions about this

Details of the conference will also be posted in the next fortnight on
www.gn.apc.org/cse, where in due course you will be able to download
summaries of the talks to be discussed.

Thanks for your support
Anne Gray
