The 2023 Annual Convention on the Global South (GO-SOUTH)

The Institute of International Studies (IIS), Department of International Relations, Universitas Gadjah Mada, is pleased to announce “The 2023 Annual Convention on the Global South (GO-SOUTH).” Initiated in 2015 through the “Beyond Bandung Conference,” IIS is dedicated to advancing the study of dynamics within Southern nations. The convention’s theme for this year is “Decentering Indo-Pacific: Global South in a Changing World.”

Scheduled for November 6-8, 2023, the convention is divided into two parts: 1) Expert Seminars and Panels, and 2) Participant Presentation Panels. The aim of this convention is to comprehensively examine the dynamics of the Indo-Pacific, not only through the geopolitical lens of global powerhouses, but also by focusing on actors from the Global South, particularly within the Indo-Pacific region. We extend an invitation to experts, practitioners, and academics, both domestic and international, who share an interest and concern for this theme.
