Symposium: Advances in Law and Civil Society in the Pacific Rim, May 28-29, 2002, Vancouver, Canada

研讨会将探讨法律在后工业化和工业化的太平洋沿岸国家发生的变化中的作用。将在专题讨论会上提交论文，重点是影响整个区域法律的机构和法律的学说发展的文化、社会和经济问题。全球化的趋势使这些问题的重要性超越了太平洋沿岸各国的边界。“外来的”流行文化以及法律的文化紧随着自由贸易的扩大而来，但现有的地方文化抵制简单的移植。许多太平洋沿岸国家，无论是否高度发达，都在为法律的机构和合法性在其对全球化的反应中的地位进行重要的斗争。该奖项支持来自菲律宾、马来西亚、印度尼西亚、中国、越南和泰国等太平洋沿岸国家的大约12名学者与来自日本、韩国、美国和加拿大的社会科学家一起参加会议。 研讨会将在温哥华法律和社会协会2002年年会之前举行。

The symposium will explore the role of law in changes taking place in both post-industrial and industrializing Pacific Rim nations. Papers will be presented at the symposium focusing on cultural, social and economic issues that affect the development of legal institutions and legal doctrine throughout the region. The trend towards globalization stretches the significance of these issues beyond the borders of individual Pacific Rim countries. "External" popular culture as well as legal culture comes on the heels of expanded free trade, but existing local cultures resist simple transplantation. Many Pacific Rim nations, whether highly developed or not, are in the midst of important struggles over the place of legal institutions and legality in their responses to globalization. This award supports travel and expenses for approximately twelve scholars from Pacific-Rim nations such as The Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, and Thailand to join with social scientists from Japan, Korea, the United States and Canada. The symposium will be held prior to the 2002 annual meeting of the Law and Society Association in Vancouver.
