Dear friends and colleagues, There may currently be some confusion about the venue of the 6th Global Conference on Economic Geography (GCEG) due to announcements and websites of groups claiming to host the 6th GCEG in 2021. As organizers of the previous GCEGs and the 5th Conference forthcoming in Cologne, we would like to point out that so far we have NOT confirmed support to any group or venue.
We believe that all future GCEGs should be organized in ways that reflect broad base support from home and international community, and represent the diversity of economic geography, including a good balance of organizing committee members by gender and career stage. We hope to be able to announce the organizers and venue of the 6th GCEG at this year's GCEG in Cologne: www.gceg2018.com<http://www.gceg2018.com/> With best wishes, Henry Yeung, Dariusz Wojcik, Boris Braun, Peter Dannenberg, Martina Fuchs, Javier Revilla Diez _______________________________ Henry Yeung<http://courses.nus.edu.sg/course/geoywc/henry.htm>, Co-Director, GPN@NUS Centre<http://gpn.nus.edu.sg> Professor of Economic Geography, National University of Singapore Websites: Homepage<http://courses.nus.edu.sg/course/geoywc/henry.htm>, Google Scholar<http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=NvK_8VAAAAAJ&hl=en>, and ResearchGate<https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Henry_Yeung2> Director, JY Pillay Comparative Asia Research Centre<http://www.gai.nus.edu.sg/re-jyp.html>@NUS Global Asia Institute * Recipient of the American Association of Geographers Distinguished Scholarship <http://news.aag.org/2017/12/aag-announces-the-2018-aag-honors> Honors 2018<http://news.aag.org/2017/12/aag-announces-the-2018-aag-honors> AND the UK Royal Geographical Society Murchison Award 2017<http://www.rgs.org/AboutUs/Medals+and+awards/2017+medals+and+awards.htm>: see NUS press release here<http://news.nus.edu.sg/press-releases/Henry-Yeung-conferred-Murchison-award>. * My latest 2017 papers on East Asian developmental states in Cambridge J of Regions, Economy and <https://academic.oup.com/cjres/issue/10/1> Society<https://academic.oup.com/cjres/issue/10/1> (free download<https://academic.oup.com//cjres/article/10/1/83/2865064/Stateled-development-reconsidered-the-political?guestAccessKey=1a0ec105-869b-40c6-832d-53a2b723f506>) AND Area Development and Policy<http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rard20/2/1?nav=tocList> (free download<http://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/H2Ed4FqJrT6kDAHDrjRz/full>). * Recent book with Cornell University Press: Strategic Coupling: East Asian Industrial Transformation in the New Global Economy<http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/?GCOI=80140100059400>, in Cornell Studies in Political Economy Series (series editor: Peter Katzenstein), April 2016. ________________________________ Important: This email is confidential and may be privileged.
