6th Annual Humanities and Social Sciences Conference: Global Transformations and Local Mobility

The aim of the conference is to come to a synergistic understanding of the theories developed around the idea of globalisation and the impact this phenomenon has had on communities around the world. Of particular concern are issues related to the experiences and dilemmas created within a global context - How have macro level flows of capital and production, of skills and labor, and of ideas and ideologies impacted upon the decision making capabilities of national and international level actors? How do the financial and political institutions of the state respond to changes in the processes and mechanisms of governance? What are the human consequences of such macro level changes in terms of the lived reality of individuals and civic engagement at the local level?

Date of submission of abstracts: 31st of October 2010.
