The Editorial Committee of the <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Graduate
Journal of Asia-Pacific Studies</span></b> is pleased to announce the release
of <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Volume 4 Number 1</span></b>. For this
special issue contributors have turned their attention towards both the literal
and metaphorical elements of movement. Focusing on the theme
$B!F(JNavigating the Future: Asia-Pacific pathways$B!G(J, authors have
considered the diverse ways in which historical and contemporary movements of
people, technologies, and ideas have shaped, and continues to shape the
practices and experiences of the Asia-Pacific region and its peoples. Within
this focus there is a broad definition of what might be interpreted as
movement: from macro-level voyages, displacements and migrations to everyday
experiences of nations, cities and neighbourhoods. As a result, the final
contributions to this edition have interpreted the theme in a diverse but
insightful manner. They include discussions of transnational
trajectories, the intersection of mobility, tradition and adaptation,
methodological movements, patterns of migrant participation in the labour force
and literary co-operation and competition.<br>

<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Call for Papers: Global Convergence / Local
Divergence</span></b><br>
In this special issue of the Graduate Journal of Asia<font face="MS Mincho"><span
style='font-family:"MS Mincho"'>$B!>(J</span></font>Pacific Studies we ask
contributors to explore these questions of convergence and divergence.
Contributors are encouraged to think about these issues not simply in relation
to the well trodden territory of globalisation but also with reference to
historical and contemporary experiences of (neo)colonialism, neo<font
face="MS Mincho"><span style='font-family:"MS Mincho"'>$B!>(J</span></font>liberalism,
sexism, racism and nationalism. Which experiences and practices seem to be
converging and/or diverging in the contemporary Asia<font face="MS Mincho"><span
style='font-family:"MS Mincho"'>$B!>(J</span></font>Pacific? In what
circumstances do universalising tendencies unintentionally lead to increased
particularity? Or vice versa? Is there a space between the universal and the
particular? Or is this an unbreakable binary?<br>
