Call for Papers
Chinahas undergone enormous changes over the past 30 years. One of the
major forces behind China’s profound transformation has been China’s
large resource of overseas talent. Since China opened up, China over 2
million students and scholars went abroad and over 700,000 have
returned. Many of those who have returned, often called "Sea Turtles,"
as well as many who fly back and forth ("Seagulls") are playing
significant roles in China’s globalization. There has been growing
interest from the academic, business and policy community to carry out
research on China’s global talent and their role and impact. The Chinese
government in recent years has given unprecedented attention to the
development of talent with the launch of a new national talent
development plan, thereby placing greater policy emphasis on these
phenomena.
To facilitate the enhance research on China’s global talent and
returnees studies, and facilitate greater exchanges among scholars and
government officials, the Guangzhou Convention of Overseas Chinese
Scholar in Science and Technology, the Center for China and
Globalization and other organizations listed above will organize an
international conference on "China's Global Talent and Returnees" on
December 18, 2011 in Guangzhou, China. The conference is calling for
papers in the following areas:
l The global talent movement and its implications and impact on
China;
l Overseas talent and returnee entrepreneurs, their development and
the role they play in China's modernization;
l Migration policy and the experience of other countries in attracting
and retaining talent;
l The possible changes these talented returnees will bring in the
economic, social, political and cultural spheres in China;
l The role of global talent in innovation and globalization in China;
l Policy analysis as to ways to improve the effectiveness of the
central and local government in attracting returnees, as well as the
role of regional returnee parks;
l Other Issues on China's global talent and the development of
returnees
The papers can be submitted in either English or Chinese and some will
be recommended by the organizing committee to be published in two books,
one in English and another in Chinese. Authors who submit papers will
have no registration fee and will be provided local five star hotel
accommodations and food for both the conference and the Guangzhou
Convention of Overseas Chinese Scholar in Science and Technology which
follows the next two days. The Guangzhou Convention is the largest
overseas Chinese Scholars Fair in China which annually attracts over
10,000 returnees from all over the world. There will also be
opportunities to visit the Pearl River Delta region organized by the
local municipalities.
