GOVENANCE PROBLEMS OF THE EAST ASIAN ECONOMIES
International Conference and Young Scholars Workshop
We organize an international conference on Governance Problems of the East
Asian Economies and an affiliated Young Scholars Workshop in Kyoto. The
Conference is held on September 18-19, 2007 and the Workshop is held successively on
September 20-21, 2007, both in the Centennial Hall of the Kyoto University. The aim of
the Conference is to examin economic problems in East Asian nations whose
interdependency has become tighter than ever under the aspect of 'governance'. (See the
reference paper that is prepared by a member of organizing committee!) by inviting
prominent scholars in and out of this area. In the affiliated Workshop we would
encourage the fresh research of young scholars in East Asia on the same topic.
The organizing committee is under the COE21 Program of Kyoto University,
Interface of Advanced Economic Analysis. In accordance with the general aim of this
Program we would integrate various directions of research (spatial and regional
economics, finance and currency, public and social policy, environment conservation,
corporate governance, and international trade etc.) in the study of the economic
governance in the East Asian economies. Thus, in this Conference and Workshop, the
region East Asia is the interface of various directions of advanced economic analysis.
Particularly we are interested in the theoretical development in the analysis of
institution and organization that facilitates the analysis of economic problems in East
Asia.
Speakers of the Conference are requested to submitt the title together with ca 500
words summary before the end of June, and the full paper before the end of August to
the COE-Secretary (coe-jimu@econ.kyoto-u.ac.jp). We would like to edit and publish
revised papers from an academic publisher or in the special issue of The Kyoto
Economic Review.
Both in Conference as well as in Workshop, English is used as the standard
language. Discussed papers at the Workshop have the possibility to list in the series of
the CAEA Discussion Paper, Kyoto University, after supervision. Excellent papers may
be published in the planned book or special issue of the Kyoto Economic Review.
