Introduction

The 2026 International Conference on Convergent Perspectives (CPPSP26) invites scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to a premier global forum dedicated to the synthesis of Psychology, Sociology, and Political Science. As our global landscape faces unprecedented shifts—from the digital transformation of social bonds to the psychological drivers of geopolitical movements—the need for a unified "PSP" dialogue has never been more urgent.

CPPSP26 moves beyond traditional academic silos to explore how individual cognition, collective social structures, and institutional power dynamics coalesce to shape human experience. By fostering a rigorous exchange between these three pillars, the conference aims to uncover holistic solutions for global stability and social equity.

Join us as we bridge the gap between the mind, the community, and the state to build a more resilient and understood world. We look forward to your contribution to these vital cross-disciplinary conversations.
