[sustran] 1997 International Symposium (Call for Participants)

[A. Karp]

Hello!

	As the symposium editor for the University of Washington School of
Law's Pacific Rim Law and Policy Journal, I hereby invite all interested
individuals to present and workshop any articles relating to Emerging Land
Use Law in the Pacific Rim.  I was hoping that someone from this list
would be able to find a transport component within the symposium topic
(perhaps transportation law and policy's impact on the urban and rural
poor?).  The symposium is scheduled for Thursday through Saturday 2-4
October 1997 in Seattle, WA, USA.  Articles are to be approximately 25
pages in length.  Preliminary drafts are due 15 July 1997.  The symposium
process is, however, intended to provide final input on the development of
your article.  Publishable drafts are due 1 December 1997.  And I will be
the supervising production editor responsible for getting the symposium
book published in early 1998.  A sampling of participants and topics
include:

Christine Bae, UW School of Planning: "Greenbelt" laws in Korea and
impacts on development.  Ms. Bae also focuses on nonmotorized transport in
the classroom.

Yoshiko Terao, Tokyo University: Written law versus built reality in
Japanese land use regulations.

Mark Kremzner, University of Victoria (B.C.): Emerging land use law
governing urban real estate development and property rights in the
People's Republic of China.

Timothy Lindsey, Asian Law Centre, Australia: Adat (customary) land title,
modern title, and urban land development in Indonesia.



There are other participants.  What I first noticed when I came on the
scene (changing of the editorial guard, you might say) was that there was
nothing explicit about the connection between land use and real property
law and the impacts on transportation infrastructure development in Asian
countries.  Perhaps someone on this list (or someone you know) has done
some research in this area and would like the opportunity to participate
in such a symposium?

For all inquiries, please email me at machia at u.washington.edu.

Thank you.
