The 2017 Sizihwan International Conference on Asia-Pacific Studies

Conference theme: “Challenges to Local Politics in the Asia-Pacific Region”

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Takeshi Kawanaka (Deputy Director-General, Area Studies Center, IDE-JETRO)

ANNOUNCEMENT

Local politics in Asia-Pacific have never out of the scope of social sciences discourses, as the regional, national, and local politics in the region undergo concurrent challenges and new dynamics, which impact the political process and prospect of each other. Social sciences quest the role of national and international institutions in shaping local politics, and vice versa; the issues concerning local governments’ autonomy and governance; the controversies involving the competition over the voices and exits for local diversities in economy, ethnics, religion, identities, etc. Last, but not least, the problem of the challenges to local politics that challenge in return the politics in national and regional level.

The 2017 Sizihwan Conference on Asia-Pacific Studies aims to broaden and deepen these discourses involving local politics in countries across Asia and the Pacific Ocean. We welcome discussions of common research concerns about local politics in national and regional context, and of the local particularities to which the existing theories should respond. We hope scholars and researchers interrogate and analyze different political, economic, social, cultural phenomena and developments in relation to local politics, and share with the participants deeper and

comprehensive understanding of the complexities and nuances of such as these are found in the Asia-Pacific region.
