Liberal Institutions and International Order
– renewing the infrastructure of freedom and liberalism

The meeting is structured around the following set of interdependent subthemes, central to our efforts to reinvent liberalism for the 21^st century:

Challenges and Prospects for the Liberal World Order
The New Globalization and The Future of the WTO
Restating the Case for Liberal Democracy
New Perspectives on Institutions and The Nordic Model(s)
Federalism and the Future of the European Union
The Monetary and Financial Framework
Freeing The Captured Economy and Reforming the Framework of the Market Economy
Liberty in the Narrow Corridor of Checks and Balances
Reinventing Liberalism for the 21^st Century

As part of the program we will also revisit three milestones in the history of ideas, closely connected to the Mont Pelerin Society:

The great socialist calculation debate, 100 years after Ludwig von Mises’ pioneering contribution was first published in 1920.
The 60^th anniversary of Friedrich Hayek’s Constitution of Liberty, published in 1960.
The precursor to the Mont Pelerin Society: Colloque Walter Lippmann in Paris, 1938.

The meeting will also reach out to young scholars and talents, by means of:

Special pre-program Young Scholar Sessions, inviting young scholars to address the central theme of the meeting.
The Hayek Essay Contest, also thematically aligned with the main theme of the meeting.
