Conference theme
The main theme of this year's conference, Overcoming the Global Financial and Economic Crisis: the Rule of Law as the Key to Economic Freedom?, is devoted to the topic of dealing with the global economic crisis.
While crises are nothing new, this one is severe and it has exposed some serious flaws in our economic institutions. We need to understand them to see which reforms are needed. We also need to guard against those who use the crisis as a pretext for furthering their own illiberal agendas. We will try to explore how to bridge the gap between people's clamour for action and protection against the effects of the crisis can be reconciled to sober economic analysis. Otherwise we risk wasting huge amounts of resources for little effect, resources that will go to the politically powerful rather than the needy poor. This is why we also focus on the need to understand who is most affected and what should be done to keep them in focus.
Submission for papers/panels/exhibition proposals
The conference invites the submission of papers and other forms of presentation such as posters, videos or photos, to present relevant work and new ideas. We encourage submissions of
• Individual paper presentations should be submitted addressing the theme ‘Overcoming Global Financial and Economic Crisis: Will the rule of law help?'
• Proposal to organise (or participate in) one of the panels (see the conference programme).
• Proposal to exhibit your work (e.g. posters, videos, photos, publications and etc).
It is important to note that a proposal to organise a panel must include sufficient background information about the talk, and it should explain why those nominated are appropriate experts in the area.
For those selected to exhibit their work, it is expected that one of the presenting authors present at their poster during the ‘Tools of the Trade' session. Theses presentations will be shown throughout the conference; The "Tools of the Trade" session serves a marketplace, where presenters and participants meet to exchange experiences and ideas.
Submissions will be reviewed by the EFN Asia coordinator. Accepted papers/panel and exhibition proposals will be presented at the conference by one of the authors and published in the conference's manual. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Financial assistance may be available to individuals presenting at the conference or participating in a panel discussion.
