On 12-14 July, we organised the first StateCapFinance workshop at Goethe University. For this workshop, we invited all our global cooperation partners to Frankfurt with the idea to discuss our ongoing work that explores the multifaceted relationship between financial markets and the state in emerging markets – which in part substantially deviates from the ‘liberal’ norms of how Western finance is organised but also including similarities and differences across countries and economic sectors.
