CALL FOR PAPERS
The 2012 International Conference on the Asia-Pacific Studies
November 9-10, 2012
MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT：
：
The Asia-Pacific region has experienced great changes since the early 1980s,
including political openness, economic regionalization, cross-border interactions, cultural
exchanges, etc. These changes have made the Asia-Pacific region attractive to the
world, yet, studies on the Asia-Pacific are still falling behind to other area studies.
Although scholars have engaged a great deal of studies on China, Japan, and Southeast
Asia, few scholars have paid attention on the studies of the Asia-Pacific as a whole.
This is the key motive to initiate an international conference on the Asia-Pacific studies,
which would cover interdisciplinary studies on political science, economics, sociology,
history, cultural studies, etc. Comparative studies are especially welcome.
This conference will focus on theories, political development, policy studies,
economic regionalization, cross-border issues, and other topics related to the Asia-Pacific
studies. We’re sincerely welcome professors, researchers and graduate students to
submit papers to our conference. We hope that through the conference we can stimulate
greater academic exchanges and brainstorming each other, thus enhancing our knowledge
about this rising area.
