Research Center for Islamic Economics (IKAM), in collaboration with the Turkish Entrepreneurship and Business Ethics Association (İGIAD) and Istanbul University Center for Islamic Economics and Finance (İSİFAM), will organize its 10th Islamic Economics Workshop from 14 to 16 October 2022 under the theme “Economic Crisis and Islamic Economics.”
The economic crisis is one of the fundamental issues of economics. The large number of reasons that lead to economic crises and the versatility of these causes brings about the problem of the unpredictability of crises. These reasons and the complex nature of the crisis also make it difficult to achieve the desired results for solutions. Failure to achieve the desired results causes the crisis to deepen. In this respect, understanding the causes of the economic crisis, developing structural solutions and strategies on them, and minimizing their frequency are becoming the most crucial agenda. The social reflection and the social dimensions of the economic crisis are significant issues to tackle, as much as the longstanding effects of the economic crisis on the functioning of the economy. Many outcomes, such as high unemployment, high inflation, disruption of production, and the widespread influence of disadvantaged groups, are causing economic crises to pave the way for social and political crises. Hence, this situation was also experienced with the recent Financial Crisis of 2007-2009. People affected by these crises have expressed their concerns and discontent by organizing actively in many countries. In this regard, the social and political dimensions of the economic crisis should be considered as much as their economic causes and consequences. In this framework, topics that will be covered in the 10th Islamic Economics Workshop related to the topic of “Economic Crises and Islamic Economics” should address but are not restricted to the following themes:
- The causes and consequences of the economic crisis Strategies to prevent and predict the crisis
- Crisis management tools and policies to minimize the effects of the economic crisis
- The effects of the crises on the social structure
- The analysis of the internal and external factors of economic crisis
- The effects of crises on income and wealth distribution across countries
- The effects of crises on income and wealth distribution within countries
- How crises shape the international system, policies, and institutions
- Crisis regulatory and supervisory policies, agreements within countries and regions

Articles that are sent to the workshop should be authentic, not published or presented in any other program, or under consideration for publication.
