Calls for papers
'Managing Rapid Social Change and Growing Diversity: Social Policy
Responses and Changing Governance in East Asia': The 10th EASP(East Asian
Social Policy) International Annual Conference 2013, Beijing Normal
University, Beijing, China, 11th-12th July, 2013.
The 10th EASP (East Asian Social Policy Network) International Annual
Conference will be held at the Beijing Normal University, China on
'Managing Rapid Social Change and Growing Diversity: Social Policy
Responses and Changing Governance in East Asia'. East Asian countries
and communities are facing new social challenges as result of rapid social
change and growing diversity. Fast changing economies and societies in East
Asia present a rather complicated picture and their experiences may be
different from other countries in the world in terms of their speed,
cultural aspects and complexity. In managing these challenges, governments
are developing social policies and the East Asian welfare states are going
through some restructuring. Historical background and unique features also
pose new questions as to the future path and characteristics of governance
in the region. The EASP international conference will provide a forum for
lively discussion to address a range of issues relating to these
challenges, identify future research agenda and discuss the role of social
policy. We particularly wish to invite papers that reflect this theme,
however, also invite papers on any aspects of social policy within the East
Asian region and stress that papers from outside of this theme will be
accommodated, as is the usual practice for the EASP. In addition to single
papers, we also strongly encourage proposals for symposia, whereby three or
more abstracts linked to a particular theme are submitted for
consideration. Symposia will allow participants to engage more deeply with
their special interests and create a space for focused debate on specific
themes.
