The 6th ANNUAL EAST-WEST CENTER INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE STUDENT CONFERENCE
Honolulu, Hawaii USA
February 15 - 17, 2007
Continuity and Change in the Asia-Pacific:
People, Places, System
Inaugural February 15th 2007
Conference Theme - Change and continuity have both been characteristics of the Asia Pacific region as its diverse and energetic communities engage with development. Issues of economic, political, demographic, environmental, cultural, and social transition pose challenges for its institutions at the regional, national as well as the local level. Responses in this dynamic region sometimes reflect the willingness of a society to embrace modernity and other times to demonstrate a preference to conserve tradition. These collective responses carve out new meanings and definitions of the development endeavor and shape the future of individual societies and the region as a whole.
Papers and posters were selected from about 270 abstracts received, which reflect the East-West Center's multidisciplinary research areas:
