*Call for Papers*
China has undergone enormous changes over the past 30 years. One of the
major forces behind Chinaâs profound transformation has been Chinaâs
large resource of overseas talent. Since China opened up, China has 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 now called 'Seagulls' are playing
significant roles in Chinaâs globalization. There has been growing
interest from the academic, business and policy community to carry out
research on Chinaâs 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 Chinaâs 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 before Nov.
30 within 6000 words and some of them 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
