President’s Message
The year 2007 marks the 18th annual conference of the Congress of
Political Economists, International (COPE). This year, we are
honored to be invited to hold our conference in Berlin, Germany, in
collaboration with Fachhochschule für Verwaltung und Rechtspflege
(FHVR) University, Berlin.
This year’s conference theme, “Economic Development, Environment,
Energy and Ethics, in a Global Economy” reflects the diversity and
international flair of COPE. COPE strives to build a platform for
educators and practitioners throughout the world to look for solutions
to essential problems of global economics. Members of COPE come
from around the world, and past conferences have been held in 16
countries, spanning six continents. While the majority of members
come from the field of Economics, many other social sciences are
represented in the COPE organization.
Each year, the COPE editorial board solicits papers from a wide array
of disciplines in the social sciences, and publishes many of the papers
in the annual COPE book. This year’s book will contain the papers
that were reviewed and accepted for publication and presentation at the
2007 conference.
Joseph W. Lewis
