The Arnoldshain Seminars: Past, Present and Future (Ulrich Peter Ritter)
In 1995 the series of Arnoldshain Seminars started with the participation of scholars and students from the
three faculties of Economics and Business Administration of the J. W. Goethe-University (JWGU), Frankfurt
am Main, Germany, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina and the Universidade de São Paulo, São
Paulo, Brazil with the objective of fostering international cooperative and comparative research.
They consist of two parts, a more general Symposium with round tables and presentations on larger themes
on the site of a university and a second part in a retreat with presentations and discussion of recent research in
smaller groups. The results of these seminars are published by an editorial committee.
During the intervals between the seminars they are prepared in regular chats and other forms of
communications. This web site also functions as a platform for information and communication between
research groups and researchers.
So far the following seminars have taken place:
