CONFERENCE BACKGROUND

In our interconnected world, urgent attention and collaborative action are required to address a complex web of global challenges. These challenges include climate change, global poverty, post-pandemic economic slowdown, corruption, democratic deficit, artificial intelligence, technological disruptions, and geopolitical conflicts. These issues are intricately interplayed, making their solutions multifaceted and interdependent. To explore and discuss these challenges within the context of social and political sciences, the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Hasanuddin University, is organizing the World Conference on Governance and Social Sciences (WCGSS) in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, on 8-9 July 2023. This conference calls on scholars, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to identify sustainable development solutions for our rapidly evolving world.
