About the Centre
The IIAS Centre for Regulation and Governance is the first European research centre devoted to the study of regulation and governance in Asia. The Centre engages in innovative and comparative research on the theories and practices of regulation and governance. Focusing on emerging markets of Asia such as China, India, South Korea, and Indonesia, the Centre serves as a focal point of collaborative research between European and Asian scholars. It emphasises multidisciplinarity in its research undertakings which combine approaches from political economy, law, public administration, criminology, and sociology in the comparative analysis of regulatory issues in Asia and in developing theories of governance pertinent to Asian realities.
Young Scholars Workshop on Changing Governance in Asia
26 - 27 November 2009
Leiden, the Netherlands
Workshop themes
The workshop will be organised around the themes of public sector and market governance under the increasingly volatile global environment. Specifically, it hopes to explore innovative ideas about changes in political institutions, the legal system, government-business relations, and/or cultural and administrative traditions which shape the governance of market exchange, social policies, public sector reforms, media practices, and environmental regulations in Asia. 16 young scholars will present their research findings and/or innovative proposals for new/follow-up research during the workshop.
