Devastating wildfires and floods are causing unprecedented harm to people and nature. Ice shelfs are melting and the Living Planet Report 2022 shows that wildlife populations have dropped with a devastating 69% on average in less than lifetime. Societies are becoming more unequal and populism is on the rise. Yet, for the most part, businesses, financial markets and policy-makers continue with a business-as-usual approach to all economic, social and commercial activities. This poses significant risks to our collective ways of life.

The workshop will discuss the development of granting an increasing number of administrative authorities independence, examine the place which these bodies occupy in the constitutional arrangement, and their legitimacy. It is arranged by BI Norwegian Business School, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences and University of Oslo. It is a part of the research project Central Banks’ expanded role in financial markets, which is funded by Finansmarkedsfondet and managed by the Norwegian Research Council.

The meeting is open to all members of Daughters of Themis – and we welcome new members: anyone identifying as a female business scholar, i.e. undertaking research concerning business, in any discipline or across disciplines, is welcome to apply for membership. We especially encourage scholars from low-income countries, of diverse backgrounds and in all levels of academia to apply.
