FORUM FOR GLOBAL STUDIES
The Forum for Global Studies has been established to facilitate
cooperation among groups in all countries promoting research on the
contemporary world system and its problems. It will support exchange of
information between these groups, participation in conferences and workshops
sponsored by any of them, publication of a book
series , the
organization of special interest discourse groups on the Internet, and any
other activities that will enhance the ability of all members to study
global phenomena and problems.
Tentative commitments have been made for the preparation of book
projects dealing with Globalization and:
- Communications -- Majid Tehranian
- Culture -- Honor Fagan *
- Democracy -- Henry Teune
- Ethnicity and Nationalism -- Fred Riggs
- Gender -- Dong-sook Gills, editor; Nancie Caraway, co-editor
- History -- Barry Gills will do a book historicizing globalisation
- Religion -- Fred Riggs *
- Social Exclusion -- Ronaldo Munck *
- Society -- very tentatively, Martin Albrow has been invited but not
yet accepted
The asterisks following names given above are hyperlinks to
information about the listed book projects.
The Forum does not aim to become a funded organization with collective
decision-making capabilities. Instead, it will rely on voluntary effort
and the Internet to help its members accomplish the goals they have set
for themselves. Inquiries about membership in the Forum or related
questions may be sent to its manager, Fred W. Riggs
CALENDAR:
"Meetings" include conferences, congresses, workshops, seminars, etc.
Closed meetings where participation is restricted to persons who have been
elected or appointed should not be listed. Meetings which anyone
interested may attend are called "Open Meetings," and those where
participation has to be limited because of space, finances, or other
reasons can be listed as "Invitational Meetings." However, those wishing
to attend may be able to obtain an invitation by writing the organizers.
See our current
list and please inform us of
items to add.
