From 22 – 23 November 2010, the Globalisation, Monetary Integration and Exchange Rate Regimes (GMIEER) in East Asia Conference will be held in Perth, Western Australia.
GMIEER, a joint conference between Edith Cowan University and Yokohama National University, aims to bring together academics and researchers at policy institutions to discuss ongoing research on the topic.

“The social, economic, environmental and cultural implications of such an economic integration in the East Asian region would have an enormous impact world-wide.”

Potential topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Issues on globalization and economic integration.
