“EU Financial Regulation and Markets: Beyond

Fragmentation and Differentiation”

26-27 November 2020

Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

CALL FOR PAPERS

The financial system of the EU is undergoing profound and far-reaching transformations, such as unprecedented market fragmentation resulting from the establishment of the Banking Union (BU) as well the increasing differentiation tensions driven by the unravelling of the Brexit scenario and the uncertainties of post-Brexit regulatory governance. At the same time, technological advancements (e.g. FinTech, green finance) challenge traditional regulatory paradigms in EU finance. Against this backdrop, it is interesting to reflect upon the future prospects of EU’s financial markets and their regulation, and on the “Europeanization” of public policies in this area. In light of these far-reaching changes, we welcome all theoretical and empirical papers that cut across different scholarship strands – political economy, finance, legal and political science, dealing with (but not limited to):

EU financial integration in perspective (the BU/ post-Brexit environment),
the economic/ financial implications of the (incomplete) Banking Union,
the (politically and economically challenging) path toward Capital Markets Union,
the PSD2 and the ensuing development of EU payments and EU payments law,
technological advancements and FinTech,

We would also encourage submissions focusing on the legal and financial/ monetary integration experience of Central and South East European countries.

Submissions are open to scholars at all career stages. In light of recent events connected with the COVID-19 the deadline to send your proposed title, abstract (max. 300 words) and/or draft paper (max. 5000 words), together with your affiliation and contact details has been extended until 30 September 2020. The organizer’s contacts remain the same: Ivana Bajakić, ivana.bajakic@pravo.hr or Marta Božina Beroš, mbozina@unipu.hr.

In addition, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainties that it may bring forward in Autumn, authors of accepted papers have the possibility to choose between “in residence” presentations (at the premises of the Faculty of Law, in Zagreb) or “virtual” presentations via one of the video conferencing platforms (e.g. Zoom, Google Meet, etc.).

Submitted papers in English will be peer reviewed and published in the conference proceedings, which will be submitted for indexation to WoS, SCOPUS and other relevant citation databases.

There is no registration fee. The working language of the Conference is English.
