| Migration as part of the 18th Annual International Conference on Global Studies: Business, Economic, Political, Social and Cultural Aspects Academic Responsible: Dr. Mehmet Cevat Yildirim, Lecturer, Gaziantep University, Turkey. According to the latest Migration Report by the International Organization for Migration, there are currently 281 million international migrants in the world. International migration flows have intensified in the Mediterranean area related to political and economic upheavals and security concerns that occurred in the Middle East in the last decade. The number of internationally and internally replaced people has also increased in Africa, Southern Asia, and America. Therefore, target countries, as well as transition countries had to face bigger and more complicated challenges. These include, among others, ensuring safety for the most vulnerable, improving humanitarian conditions of refugees, better organizing sources used for migrants, developing new legal frameworks, easing social cohesion, and enhancing livelihood opportunities. The intensification and complexity of the migration phenomenon leads migration studies to become multi-disciplinary and far-reaching. Migration studies are developed all around the world in search of answers to the reasons, dynamics, and consequences of internal and international migration. This research field is important for better shaping public policies and other national or international actors’ strategies. | Abstract Submitting Form |

We seek insights on how disruptive technologies such as AI, blockchain, and the metaverse are shaping digital marketing, as well as how consumer behaviour, influenced by the post-pandemic world, is shifting the direction of marketing tactics. Topics of interest include the integration of sustainability and ethical considerations into digital marketing strategies, balancing global scalability with local market sensitivity, and adapting to increasingly stringent data privacy regulations. Additionally, we encourage research on the role of AI and machine learning in optimizing and personalizing campaigns, creating seamless omnichannel experiences, and safeguarding marketing efforts against economic shocks. Papers that offer case studies, empirical research, or theoretical analyses on how brands can future-proof their digital marketing strategies and thrive in uncertain environments are especially welcome. | Abstract Submitting Form |
