Two Decades of Globalization in Social Sciences

In his opening remarks at the seminar, Professor Pham Quang Minh (Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi) shared: Over the past two decades, the trend of globalization has developed strongly worldwide. However, the impact of this trend is diverse and inconsistent. Globalization in the Americas will differ from that in Asia, Europe, or Australia…

In the current context, as globalization intensifies, the world tends to become more divided. In particular, in some countries, the situation is not following the mainstream trend of globalization.

Furthermore, the concept of localization is frequently mentioned in many current studies. These issues have prompted global scientists to collaborate and share knowledge through scientific research, especially in social sciences and research.

Professor Pham Quang Minh delivered the opening remarks at the conference.

Professor Pham Quang Minh emphasized: “Vietnam is currently considered a country where both globalization and localization are taking place simultaneously. Since the Doi Moi (Renovation) period, Vietnam has witnessed dynamic changes in its economic, political, cultural, and social situation. This is an important foundation, paving the way for many current research projects on the globalization of social sciences.”

With 22 reports presented, domestic and international researchers will focus on discussing several key issues such as: the response of social sciences and humanities to globalization; assessments of the diverse and heterogeneous impacts of current globalization;…

Professor Mun-Cho Kim gave a presentation on globalization from an international sociological perspective.
