ABOUT CRN33-EALS

 

 

Law and society in East Asia are currently in the midst of rapid and fundamental changes.  This provides fertile grounds for socio-legal research.  Using the momentum provided by these changes, the Collaborative Research Network East Asian Law and Society (CRN-EALS) was formed within the Law and Society Association (LSA) to provide a forum for promoting research on East Asian law and society, and disseminating its findings to a wider community of socio-legal scholarship.  Both Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia are covered under CRN- EALS.  Its members are made up of scholars researching on East Asia, and others wishing to enrich their research and theories with findings from the region.  As of May 2010, CRN-EALS has over 200 members.

 

CRN-EALS organizes sessions at the annual meetings of the LSA.  Papers on any aspects or issues of law and society in East Asia are welcome.  CRN- EALS is also envisioned to grow into an institutional base for the holding of regional LSA meetings on a regular basis.  With this vision, it has held its Inaugural East Asian Law and Society Conference in Hong Kong on 5-6 February 2010, jointly with the Faculty of Law, the University of Hong Kong and its Second East Asian Law and Society Conference on 30 September – 1 October 2011 at Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea.  Both the Inaugural and the Second East Asian Law and Society Conferences were highly successful.  In each occasion, over 150 delegates from many places around the world (such as China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, Sweden, and USA etc.) have participated.  The Third East Asian Law and Society Conference will be held on 22-23 March 2013 in KoGuan Law School, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.  CRN-EALS looks forward to seeing another successful conference in Shanghai, China (details to be announced in due course).

 

The organizers of CRN-EALS are: Setsuo Miyazawa (Aoyama Gakuin University, Japan), Kay-Wah Chan (Macquarie University, Australia), and Yoshitaka Wada (Waseda University, Japan). 

 

Activities of CRN-EALS are organized by its Planning Committee, which is made up of members from different countries.
