This conference is designed to bring together leading academic and public policy specialists
to debate and endorse new Core Principles for Alternative Banking and Social Inclusion.
Given the current search for social alternatives amidst the fallout of financial crisis,
and problems in developing nations to meet the UN millennium development goals to
end poverty by 2015, presentation of draft principles for promotion and adoption by
alternative banks and international organizations to a community of specialists may
provide a timely and viable contribution to global debate.
The conference aims to produce both a green paper for public policy communities and
an edited volume to be submitted to a university press. Like the many current initiatives
on sustainability that originated from a Bellagio Center conference, we believe that
the drafting of basic principles for alternative banking may profoundly reshape development
by the adoption of new policies by savings banks and cooperative banks.
New networks across universities, savings and cooperative bank associations and international
development institutions make this conference viable and the prospect real for shifting
policies at large alternative banking institutions in developing countries to accelerate
social inclusion.
