 CES Supplemental Call For Papers, 2008
 
In response to the recent earthquake in Sichuan, China, the Chinese Economists Society (CES) is announcing this special supplemental call for papers” for its annual North American meeting at the University of Regina, Canada, August 20-22, 2008.
 
The "5.12 earthquake" in Sichuan, China has shocked China and the world. More than 40,000 people are already declared dead, more than 15,000 remain missing, and an astonishing 5 million people are homeless and displaced.  Transportation networks have been obliterated, as has much of the medical and social infrastructure, hampering not only relief efforts, but with serious implications for economic activity and well-being long into the future.  As the industrial powerhouse of China’s southwest, and an important tourism destination for both domestic and foreign tourists in many of its poorer areas – most severely affected by the quake, it is anticipated that the earthquake and its aftermath will have long-term impacts on the population, economy and environment, and China’s very future development, particularly in the southwest.  At this early date it is impossible to give complete estimates of its impacts, but, it is possible to say something about the broader implications of this significant external shock and China’s disaster preparedness, and its policy milieu.
 
This Supplemental Call For Papers by the CES invites submission of papers that relate to southwestern regional development and how it will be challenged by the earthquake, and also on disaster preparedness and management for special sessions at the conference, which will be dedicated to policy discussion and recommendation to improve the outcomes of recovery and re-building in the disaster areas.
 
Please refer to the website: http://china-ces.org/ces_conference/showcontent.asp?id=24  for paper submission. Please have a subtitle on your paper abstract indicating “disaster preparedness” or  “southwestern development and assistance”.
