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.
Steam: 1: Education
Stream 2: Family and care
Stream 3: Health and Well-being
Stream 4: Housing
Stream 5: Immigration and diversity
Stream 6: Ageing society and old age
Stream 7: Labour Markets
Stream 8: Political Economy of Welfare and Welfare regimes

For papers, abstracts of 200 to 300 words should be submitted in a Word
file email attachment to [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Proposals for symposia should
consist of a 200 word outline of the aims of the symposium together with
contributors’ abstracts.
Proposals will be reviewed by the EASP Committee prior to acceptance.
The closing date for the submission of abstracts and proposals is
Saturday *_30th March 2013_*. Full papers must be submitted
electronically to the same address by 30 June 2013.
Postgraduates are also invited to attend the conference. Options for
participation include: a presentation in a regular conference stream; a
presentation in a session closed to postgraduates only; and show-casing
your research in a poster presentation. Please follow guidelines for
submission as outlined above. On your submission, it is essential that
you record your status as a postgraduate and mark your chosen option as:
‘Presentation’; ‘Postgraduate presentation’; or ‘Poster’.
Details regarding registration fees, accommodation and the location will
be announced at the *end of March 2013*.
