[Commlist] CFP - International Symposium on Greater China and the Mekong River Delta

CFP - International Symposium on Greater China and the Mekong River Delta

To address the changing socio-economic and ecological relationship 
between Greater China and the Mekong River Delta, this 2-day symposium 
provides a platform for academics from different disciplines and 
different countries to present their work and build networks. We welcome 
a broad range of topics and methodological approaches concerning Greater 
China and the Mekong River Delta. A maximum of 20 academics will be 
invited to present their works in five panels and one roundtable. Each 
presentation will last 15 minutes and will be followed by a Q&A. Panel 
presentations are open to pre-registered attendees who are researchers, 
students, and members of community organizations. A half-day roundtable 
will be organized limited to all presenters and a small group of guests 
to discuss possible research collaboration. As spin-offs from the 
symposium, we can expect an edited book about Greater China and the 
Mekong River Delta, a number of journal articles, and potentially a 
special issue on a journal.

Key themes include:

Geopolitics, Energy Concerns, and Climate Change
Global Governance, Migration, Social Movements, and Historical Realities
Journalistic Challenges, Media Frames, and Environmental News
Regional Governance, Macroeconomics and the Need for New Policy 
Frameworks and Approaches
Race, Nationality, and Ethnicity
Smart Societies, Technological Developments, and the Role of AI
The Financial Significance, Labor Dynamics, and the Global Economy

Guidelines for submissions:
We would like to invite you to consider participating in the symposium 
as a presenter. Once your abstract has been accepted, we will cover the
