Subject: Call for Papers: NIMBY in China - China Information


Call for Papers: NIMBY in China
Special Issue for China Information guest edited by Linda Chelan Li &
Thomas Johnson

The so-called NIMBY (not-in-my-backyard) phenomenon refers to cases
whereby individuals and/or communities oppose the construction of
facilities such as waste treatment infrastructure, prisons, and drug
rehabilitation centres in their neighbourhoods. The NIMBY label is
frequently used pejoratively to denote selfish, irrational opposition to
projects deemed necessary for the public good. At the same time, some
scholars have argued that NIMBY is a rational response to actual or
perceived risk. NIMBY interventions are also viewed positively in that
they sometimes compel decision makers to incorporate public opinion into
facility siting decisions.

Media reports suggest that NIMBY actions are becoming more common in China
(particularly in urban areas), yet this remains a largely under-researched
topic in the academic literature. This special issue aims to take steps
towards addressing this gap. We would welcome empirical and/or theoretical
papers examining the dynamics of NIMBY actions in China. Themes might
include (but are not necessarily limited to) the following:

· To what extent are NIMBY actions a special phenomenon/form of
political participation in China?
· Under what conditions citizens engage (or do not engage) in NIMBY
opposition
· The impact of NIMBY actions on policy-making and state-society
relations
· Variations in NIMBY activism based on social and demographic
groups, issues at stake, level of government engaged, etc.
· Strategy and tactics used by NIMBY actors; how and why these
tactics may change over time
· Comparisons between NIMBY actions in China and those witnessed in
other countries
· State strategies for addressing the NIMBY phenomenon ? including
their effectiveness and consequences
· The limitations of NIMBY activism, and the prospects for it to
develop into broader, more sustained social movements

China Information is a long-standing, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to
the publication of timely and in-depth analyses of major developments in
contemporary China and overseas Chinese communities in the areas of
politics, economics, law, ecology, culture, and society, including
literature and the arts. More information about the journal can be found
at: http://cin.sagepub.com.

This special issue will be guest edited by Linda Chelan Li and Thomas
Johnson. Please contact the Guest Editors at: tjohnson@cityu.edu.hk.

Those who are interested to take part in the special issue should send an
abstract to the Guest Editors before 15 March 2013. The full manuscript
should be ready before 15 December 2013. All submissions will be reviewed
anonymously.

Thank you in advance. Please contact me for any queries.

With kind regards,

Pacific Asia Inquiry vol. 3 released
***********************************
From: James D. Sellmann, Dean, <jsellman@uguam.uog.edu>

The University of Guam College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences is
proud to announce the release of Pacific Asia Inquiry, Volume 3, Number 1,
Fall 2012. The on-line journal, featuring research on a wide range of
historical and contemporary topics relevant to the Pacific Asian region
features 8 articles and 2 book reviews by such renowned Pacific Asia
authors as Mary Spencer, Ying-Chun Liu, Dennis Erasga, Lan-Hung Nora
Chiang, Hao-Li Lin, Michael Bevacqua, Chen Yuping and Unaisi Nabobo-Baba,
to name a few.

Edited by faculty members at the University of Guam, Volume 3 of Pacific
Asia Inquiry was launched in December 2012. The online journal is the
first of its kind for the University of Guam, contributing to the
development of UOG's reach which goes far beyond the Micronesian
region. The electronic publication of historical and contemporary articles
is a new and exciting venture for UOG, and makes available to large
audiences much needed scholarship on the Pacific Asia region. PAI's Volume
3 e-publication focuses on migration issues, child development, cultural
ways of learning, spatial relations, uneven development, the political
realities of sovereignty, community development, local entrepreneurship,
micro-finance and epistemological underpinnings of qualitative research.
The authors' works are based on first-hand research, observations and
secondary analysis conducted in Taiwan, Fiji, the Philippines, Guam, Chuuk
Lagoon,Yap State, and Palau. All articles in Volume 3 represent the much
needed scholarship on the Pacific Asia region that this on-line journal
has come to represent.

Literary critiques continue in an impressive book review section. Two
contemporary books - one focusing on Japan, the other on the Marshall
Islands - are analyzed based on content and contribution to specific topic
areas. The section starts with a compelling and insightful review
of Japanese studies, German intellectual models and hermeneutic
scholarship. The second review is an intriguing interpretation of the
author's poems which expressively illustrate life in the Marshall Islands
by focusing on the environment, ethnicity, cultural survival and political
dependence. Both book reviews are versed analyses of literary and
artistic works.

Electronic publication is bringing this impressive journal out into the
public in an unprecedented way and advancing, on a global level,
knowledge and understanding of the Pacific Asia region. For a free full
text download go to www.uog.edu/dynamicdata/CLASSPacificAsiaInquiry.aspx\
For more information concerning Volume 3 please contact Dr. Ann Ames,
Editor at aames@uguam.uog.edu .

The University of Guam
CALL FOR PAPERS: Pacific Asia Inquiry: Multidisciplinary Perspectives
in the Liberal Arts & Social Sciences, Volume 4, Fall 2013

Scholars are invited to submit papers focusing on the Pacific Asia Region.
Articles, critical essays, and case studies (both applied and theoretical)
across the liberal arts and social sciences are welcome. The research
emphasis of this occasional series accommodates in-depth studies on the
Pacific Asia Region. Contributors are invited not only to share their
innovative research, but also to challenge extant positions and
perspectives. Any theoretical or methodological approach may be employed
so long as it is documented in a readable style of writing that is
accessible to specialists and non-specialists alike. Authors may submit
their writing about problems and issues associated with any ethnic group,
national culture, historical period, genre, or media.

Submission Procedures
Include the following as three separate files: 1) a cover page which
includes author's name(s), title(s), affiliation(s), and address(es)
(including street and e-mail addresses); 2) a title page which includes
the title of the article and an abstract of the paper (the abstract should
be no more than 150 words); and 3) the main text which includes photos,
tables, figures, and references. Our blind peer-review process requires
that author's name(s) and address(es) appear only on the cover page. It is
important that no identifying information appear in the abstract or text
itself. Relevant publications, including the submitter's name(s) as an
author, may appear in the reference section as long as nothing is said to
connect the reference with the submitter's identity. Authors must follow
the conventions of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association (6th ed., 2009), or the MLA Style Manual and Guide to
Scholarly Publishing (7th ed., 2009). If reviewers and the Editor accept
the manuscript, the author may then be asked to revise the manuscript into
the final up-load version for inclusion in the journal. Only minor
editorial adjustments will be made during the final production stage.
Articles are accepted for review with the understanding that they are not
being considered, in whole or in part, for publication elsewhere and have
not been previously published. Enclose a memo stating whether or not the
essay has been published previously or is being considered for publication
in another journal or medium.

The manuscripts should be prepared using MS Word software with Times New
Roman font, size 12, doubled space, 1-inch margin on all the sides, and
full justification. Indent the first word of a paragraph by 1/2 inch or 5
spaces, and number all pages consecutively, putting numbers in the lower
right-hand corner. Phrases and isolated words in languages other than
English should be italicized. Figures, tables, and photos should be
inserted into manuscript at the time of initial submittal. Figures,
tables, and photos need to be appropriately titled, sourced, and numbered
consecutively. Endnotes should be used and references should appear at the
end of the paper. Do not insert automatic formatting anywhere in the
manuscript. The entire manuscript should not exceed 10,000 words,
including tables and references. Pacific Asia Inquiry, Volume 2 & 3 may be
used as a general reference.

Note: This is a venue for scholarly essays. Fiction and poetry are not
published. The inclusion of artwork, audio, and video are encouraged, to
the degree that it is technically and ethically feasible. Topics relevant
to the journal's overall interests are included in this call.

Inquiries and Submissions must be forwarded electronically to:
PAI Editor
Pacific Asia Inquiry
pacificasiainquiry@yahoo.com

Deadline for submittal is April 15, 2013

For additional information contact Dr. Nicholas J. Goetzfridt, Editor,
