Potential participants should register and upload a detailed abstract of at least 1000 words as soon as possible and no later than May 20, 2006. Acceptance of participation is based on a review by the Conference Scientific Committee upon novelty, academic quality and relevance to the themes of the conference and accepted paper writers will be informed by June 15 2006. Accepted participants must develop full texts and upload them in this site before September 15, 2006.

We especially encourage the young researchers both men and women to submit the paper. Strong preference will be given to theoretically-informed empirical papers with policy implications for developing countries and India.

As has been the case for the first three Globelics Conferences, arrangements are being made to publish selected contributions in special issues of leading journals in the field, and presumably in an edited book published by an international publisher. These publications are expected to come out in 2007.
