Third Global Studies Conference

Third Global Studies Conference

Along with the general themes of the conference, each year it focuses on a different special topic. This year the special theme is Global Rebalancing: East Asia and 21 Century Globalization. This topic will be explored in great depth as participants immerse themselves into the setting of Busan, South Korea.

If you are unable to attend the conference in person, virtual registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for refereeing and possible publication in this refereed academic journal.

Whether you are a virtual or in-person presenter at this conference, we also encourage you to
present on the conference YouTube Channel. Please select the Online Sessions link on the conference website for further details.

The deadline for the next round in the call-for-papers (a title and short abstract) is 13
May 2010. Future deadlines will be announced on the conference website after this date. Proposals are reviewed within two weeks of submission.

We look forward to receiving your proposal and hope you will be able to join us in Busan in June
2010.
