Labour regimes are seen as historically formed, multi-scalar phenomena resulting from the articulation of struggles over local social relations, often intersecting with the commercial demands of lead-firms in globalised production networks and with the gendered and racialized politics of social reproduction. This two day closed workshop was designed to develop and deepen debate on the current scope and potential of labour regime analysis for understanding dynamics of global production in contemporary capitalism. It stemmed from existing individual and collective work among several of the participants that has explicitly sought to theorise labour regimes or labour control regimes. This workshop was jointly organised by GPN@NUS Centre with Centre of Labour and Global Production of Queen Mary University of London. This workshop was held from 7-8 January 2019 at Anomalous Space, United Kingdom.<\/p>\n View program\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Photos of the workshop can be perused\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fintech, a shorthand for \u2018financial technology\u2019, brings together firms and actors from the finance industry and technology and innovation clusters in changing the ways that capital raising, financial transactions and investment decisions are being made, often through the use of big data, online platforms and mobile technologies. Initiated and organised by GPN@NUS, the workshop will provide valuable intellectual space for critical discussion on key research topics, conceptual themes, methods, and intellectual and policy implications for understanding changing geographies of production and finance.<\/p>\n View program\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Photos of the workshop can be perused\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The SMU-NUS-Paris Joint Trade Workshop (Merlion 2018 Workshop) is a joint collaboration between Singapore Management University and National University of Singapore, with support from Institut Fran\u00e7ais Singapour. In its third year running, it has the objective to bring together field experts in international trade to share and discuss their latest research. This year we are inviting two keynote speakers Professor Marc Melitz and Professor Thierry Mayer, and two invited speakers Professor Jose De Sousa and Professor Mathieu Parenti.<\/p>\n The GPN@NUS Centre co-organized a joint workshop with Dr He Wang (City University of Hong Kong) and A\/P Chun Yang (Hong Kong Baptist University) that was held on 8-9 June 2017 at the City University of Hong Kong. This workshop focused on the role of Asia in global production networks. Some 18 scholars from Canada, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK, and the US presented their work at the workshop. Six members of the GPN@NUS Centre were amongst these presenters. The key issues discussed during this intensive workshop included the rise of Asian firms in several key industries (finance, computers, and automotive), labour and upgrading in global production networks, R&D activities in Asian economies, and marketing and logistics in global production networks. Most of the workshop participants also went on a local field trip to visit Henry\u2019s former secondary school in Hong Kong \u2013 Diocesan Boy\u2019s School \u2013 and were warmly welcome by the school\u2019s principal and vice principal.<\/p>\n Photo of the Workshop can be perused\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n GPN@NUS was pleased to collaborate in organizing a second edition of the SMU-NUS Joint Trade Workshop, held on 7-8 June 2017. As keynote speakers for this year, the workshop was honored to host Robert Staiger, the Roth Family Distinguished Professor in the Arts and Sciences at Dartmouth University, and Andr\u00e9s Rodr\u00edguez-Clare, the Edward G. and Nancy S. Jordan Professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley. Both Professors Staiger and Rodr\u00edguez-Clare are long-standing members of the editorial board of the Journal of International Economics. The event was attended by Singapore-based faculty members and Ph.D. students working in the field of international trade and its overlap with issues in global production. NUS was well represented by A\/P Davin Chor (Associate Director, GPN@NUS), Dr Tom Zyklin (post-doctoral fellow, GPN@NUS; now an Assistant Professor at the University of Richmond), and Dr Bingjing Li (Assistant Professor, Department of Economics).<\/p>\n Photo of the Workshop can be perused\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n GPN@NUS was pleased to support the hosting and organization of the SMU-NUS Joint Trade Workshop, held from 25-26 May 2016. The keynote speakers at the event were Jonathan Eaton, Distinguished Professor of Economics at Pennsylvania State University, and Samuel Kortum, James Burrows Moffatt Professor of Economics at Yale University. The event was attended by 50 faculty members and Ph.D. students from both the Singapore Management University and the National University of Singapore. Davin Chor (Associate Director at GPN@NUS) and Tom Zylkin (Post-doctoral fellow at GPN@NUS) were among the workshop presenters. The event was a very positive engagement for colleagues working on topics related to international trade, that intersect with issues related to development and global production.<\/p>\n Photo of the Workshop can be perused\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Co-organised by the NTU School of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS); and NUS Global Production Networks Centre (GPN@NUS); and S.
