International Conference - Vladivostok
Problems of Consumer Goods and Commercial Activity
under Market Conditions
September 26-28, 1995
*****************************************************************
I have today received a brochure from the Far Eastern Commercial
Institute in Vladivostok announcing a conference at that site in
September. Perhaps some members of the list will be interested in
participating. I have provided below a brief outline of the
material, quoting from the brochure since some of the terminology
is unfamiliar to me. I am not familiar with the sponsoring insti-
tutions, so there is nothing I can add to this announcement.
However, I did want to take a moment to pass the information on,
since I imagine it is a bit difficult to publicize conferences
from Vladivostok. I may cross-post this announcement to a few
lists, so apologies in advance for any duplication.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The following problems will be discussed during the conference:
1. State regulation of social and economic processes under market
conditions;
2. APR consumer goods market, up-to-date conditions and develop-
ment trends;
