First Annual International Interdisciplinary Conference, to be held at Kisii University, Kenya July 30 to August 2, 2014, Kisii, Kenya
General conference theme: "Africa and the New World Order"
Conference venue: Kisii University, Main Campus, Kisii Town, Kenya
The rise of China and India as global economic powers has created new development dynamics, synergies and imperatives for Africa. Many African countries are looking for new global partners in order to create and fashion better development opportunities for their people. There is increasing realization that the world is a global village where influences move back and forth in rapid succession between cultures, so that it is often not easy to tell the original from the duplicate. The Kisii University would like to take this opportunity to invite scholars, researchers, academics and students in Africa and elsewhere to submit papers on Africa and the New World Order to bring to the forefront new perspectives that address how Africa has responded to the forces of globalization, especially in the rise of China and India. Organized and hosted by the Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) of Kisii University with the support of all faculties at the university, this First Interdisciplinary International Conference will be held between July 30 and August 2, 2014 at the Kisii Main Campus, in Kisii Town, Kenya.

The deadline for submission of full papers is 30th May, 2014.
