>
> The Centre on Asia and Globalisation recently launched a new research

> and is headed by Toby Carroll, with the support of Rita Padawangi, Darryl
> Jarvis, and Mika Purra at the National University of Singapore. New
> Approaches to Building Markets in Asia incorporates an empirically and
> theoretically-oriented research agenda, a signature seminar series and
> various outreach initiatives including a working paper series and website
> for hosting project output. Crucially, the project seeks to establish an
> international network of scholars working on mutually complementary
> research from within multiple social science disciplines.
>
> We are now soliciting paper proposals for phase 2 of the project, Private
> Sector Organisations and New Approaches to Building Markets in Asia. This
> phase is centered upon the production of a special issue of a Journal and
> an edited volume, both to be produced from papers presented at a workshop
> scheduled for October 5-7, 2011, at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public
> Policy, National University of Singapore. Funding has been secured to
> support the attendance of workshop participants (airfare, accommodation,
> per diem) upon successful paper submission.
>
> Phase 2 Research Focus Private Sector Organisations and New Approaches to
> Building Markets in Asia
>
> Constructing markets has been a central concern of Asias governments, seen
> variously as a means to economic growth, development, and social well
> being. The modality of market construction, however, has been a rapidly
> evolving one. While historically Asian markets were anchored in overtly
> national contexts and represented specific political accommodations
> between domestic capital, economic elites, political actors and state
> interests - most commonly expressed in the developmental state -
> increasingly such configurations no longer stand. Market building is now
> more overtly diffuse and situated among multilevel national and
> international actors, transnational mechanisms, and various new governance
> modalities that involve a complex interplay between the diffusion of
> transactional norms, property rights, and systems of proceduralization and
> regulation.
>
> Central to these emergent processes has been the agential authority of
> private sector organizations. Private and quasi-private organizations like
> export credit agencies, banks and financial institutions, domestic private
> sector firms, ratings agencies, capital markets, standards and
> certification regimes (ISOs, for example), and multinational enterprise,
> along with organizations like the World Bank and OECD, play an
> increasingly important role as agential mechanisms of policy diffusion but
> also as agents constructing modalities of governance that regulate,
> define, and discipline market behavior. These modalities increasingly
> appear in the form of public-private partnerships, emergent transparency
> and accountability regimes, investment guarantees, reciprocity and
> non-discrimination in cross border investments, customs and trade
> practices, regulatory shifts in modes of corporate governance, risk
> management and mitigation, and regimes of financialization in relation to
> performance, reporting and accounting standards. The manner by which these
> governance modalities articulate in national and sectoral contexts,
> however, is far from uniform. Domestic sites of resistance, sectional
> interests, institutional and political legacies combined with differing
> national and institutional capacities make for wide variation in market
> composition, institutional forms, market governance, and thus the nature
> and efficiency of market operation.
>
> This variation comprises the principal focus of Phase II of the project.
> Specifically, we ask workshop participants to reflect on a series of
> questions as a means of understanding the role of private sector
> organizations in building markets in Asia:
>
> How should we characterize the role of private organizations in
> constructing markets in Asia?
> What are the implications of private-led market building in terms of
> democratic participation and public accountability? Is there a democratic
> deficit?
> What are the implications of private-led market building for enhancing
> social capital, sustainable and inclusive growth?
> Are the large privately-owned corporations of Asia and systems of
> patrimonial politics challenged or countenanced by these new approaches to
> building markets? Do all private organisations/sectors relate equally to
> the new opportunities and risks raised by the market building project?
> How does the market building project relate to different political
> economies/different sectors found in Asia?
> What are the repercussions of the market building project for different
> conceptions of development and/or for different actors in the region?
> What implementation issues arise in the context of market building
> dominated by private organizations?
> What are the implications for the evolution and practice of public policy
> in Asia?
> How do non-governmental organizations relate to, engage with, and impact
> private sector organizations and financialized development agendas?
>
> Original contributions from a variety of social science
> disciplines/frameworks are sought for inclusion in a special issue of a
> journal and edited collection (to be published with Routledge or Palgrave
> Macmillan). The contributions will be presented at a workshop to be held
> at the National University of Singapore on 5-7 October 2011. Workshop
> participants will have airfares (return economy class to Singapore),
> accommodation and per diem expenses covered.

> In recent times, a number of academics and commentators have sought to
> offer a revisionist history of colonialism. This history presents
> colonialism as either something that was not as bad as some others make
> out, something that actually made the modern world and so was essentially
> a good thing from which the current search for a new global order should
> have much to learn; or as something to be understood simply in terms of
> networks of circulation and distribution. The sense of colonialism as a
> wretched episode of human history that continues to distort the life
> chances of those unfortunate enough to live under its legacies is slowly
> being eroded. Similar attempted revisions seek to alter public
> understandings of modern transatlantic slavery and its continuing
> legacies. We believe that the historical processes of imperialism,
> colonialism and slavery shaped, and continue to shape, our common world in
> ways which have been and continue to be problematic. This conference seeks

>
> Applications are invited for 3-month Visiting (Senior) Research
> Fellowships at the Asia Research Institute (ARI), National University of
> Singapore to commence in October 2011, January and April 2012. The
> positions are intended for outstanding researchers whose work focus on
> Asia, with a balance anticipated between senior and junior scholars.
> Interested applicants should have at least a PhD with a few years of
> postdoctoral research experience. Applicants are invited to indicate
> which of the ARI clusters they would like to be affiliated with (see
> information about clusters below). Interdisciplinary and intra-Asian
> interests are encouraged. The position is essentially a writing
> fellowship, and at least one published outcome is expected. Applicants
> who do not normally publish in English will be encouraged and assisted to
> do so.
>
> TERMS AND CONDITIONS
> Visiting (Senior) Research Fellowships: This 3-month fellowship comes with
> a competitive remuneration and benefits package, depending on seniority.
> The benefits that the University provides and other information about
> working in NUS and living in Singapore are available at
> http://www.nus.edu.sg/careers/potentialhires/index.html. Terms and
> conditions, according to university guidelines, are subject to changes
> without prior notice.
>
> AREAS OF RESEARCH FOCUS
>
> 1) The Asian Migration cluster explores the issues arising from increased
> levels of human mobility in the region, both within and across national
> borders. Mobility of high-level professional and managerial personnel,
> unskilled labour migration (both documented and undocumented), and human
> trafficking all raise methodological and theoretical questions and major
> policy issues, as does the role of migration in urban change.
>
> 2) The Changing Family in Asia cluster explores the dimensions of family
> change in the region, their causes and implications. These dimensions
> include rising ages at marriage and decreasing non-marriage, declining
> fertility and declining size of the nuclear family, increase in one-person
> households and alternative family forms, changing gender roles within
> families, and changes in family structures consequent on population
> ageing. These have implications for gender relations, the life patterns of
> the post-adolescent unmarried, the role of the elderly in the family,
> child-raising patterns and social policy.
>
> 3) The Cultural Studies in Asia is an emerging field of academic research
> in Asia which is challenging conventional disciplinary boundaries to
> rethink received knowledge on existing issues and/or to address new topics
> and concerns thrown up by the rapid changes and impact on cultural
> practices, brought about by new technologies and the new phase of global
> capitalism. Focusing on popular cultural practices in contemporary Asia,
> practitioners in Cultural Studies have re-examined these practices from
> new angles engendered by multidisciplinary perspectives. They have
> questioned the very idea of Asia and its current reconfiguration in view
> of the intense traffic of cultural products and cultural practices,
> crisscrossing national and cultural boundaries within the continent and
> beyond.
>
> 4) The Religion and Globalisation cluster is dedicated to exploring global
> reconfigurations of conceptions of religion and their diverse
> manifestations in Asian contexts. Particular attention is given here to
> the dynamic interactions of secularization and religious revival in the
> modern period, as well as to related issues of the invocation of authority
> and tradition in contemporary discourse and practice. In terms of
> coverage, the cluster works to facilitate studies of significant
> developments in major established religions such as Buddhism, Christianity
> and Islam, as well as localised indigenous traditions and new religious
> movements from any part of Asia, broadly conceived.
>
> 5) The Science, Technology, and Society cluster explores techno-scientific
> institutions, practices, and knowledge-making regimes within Asian
> societies and cultures. The newest of the ARI research clusters, and thus
> still building critical mass, we are particularly interested in topics
> relating to biotechnology/bioscience/ biomedicine and society; interactive
> and digital media; Asian techno-scientific cultures; interactions between
> Asian sites or projects and those elsewhere, and science & technology
> policy. By "Asia" we mean South, East, and Southeast Asia, but are
> particularly interested in projects with the potential to cross these
> sub-regional boundaries. Methodologically we are open to a range of
> approaches, including historical, sociological, anthropological,
> geographical, and media or cultural studies based initiatives.
>
> 6) The Asian Urbanisms cluster provides space for exploration of Asias
> urban diversity. Emerging urban forms, phenomena and experiences within
> ARIs areal scope demand empirical documentation and analysis. The cluster
> also takes regional urban diversity as a resource for wider theorization.
> The theoretical orientation of the cluster is towards work which:
> (1)speaks in transformative ways to urban studies debates beyond Asian
> area studies; and (2)resists the ingrained impulse to refer back to
> antecedents in North America or western Europe. The cluster is
> particularly interested in forms of relational, comparative research which
> de-centre the West as the supposed leading edge of urban transition,
> innovation and influence. Avenues for such work include (but not limited
> to): intra-Asian city models and emulation; sustainability and urban
> lifestyles; natural disasters, conflict and urban resilience; cultures of
> urban heritage; and religion-related urbanisms.
>
> 7) The Open Category. ARI also keeps its doors open to talented people
> with exciting ideas and worthwhile projects whose interests may not
> immediately fit one of the categories. Applications are welcome from
> across the whole spectrum of the humanities and social sciences, and
> especially for projects that are innovative and interdisciplinary.
>
> ABOUT THE ASIA RESEARCH INSTITUTE (ARI)
>
> The Asia Research Institute (ARI) was established as a university-level
> institute in July 2001 as one of the strategic initiatives of the National
> University of Singapore (NUS). Its mission is to provide a world-class
> focus and resource for research on the Asian region, located at one of its
> communication hubs.
