Strong introductions and discussions are essential to effective scholarly writing. Yet scholars do not always recognize their importance or pay less attention to them than they merit, thus jeopardizing article publication and visibility in high-impact journals. In this seminar, we will discuss the writing of an effective introduction and discussion section and apply some of the key lessons.

During the past decade, the annual conference of our AIB Asia Pacific Chapter (formally known as AIBSEAR) has been dedicated to globalization-related themes. Certain terms such as connectivity, network, and cooperation have been a part of our previous themes. Deglobalization is on the agenda now. The challenge is how to continually take advantage of globalization whilst simultaneously hedging against its risks. This transition period poses a risk particularly to the Asia Pacific region, as we are now inseparably linked to globalization’s outcomes.
