The European Association of Taiwan Studies (EATS) will hold its Tenth Annual Conference on 2 – 4 May 2013 at the University of Lyon (Ecole Normale Supérieure). The conference invites papers on the theme “Taiwan and its Neighbours”, which reflects an urgent need to expand discussion of the island beyond domestic politics and cross-strait relations to consider Taiwan’s importance to and interactions with the Asia-Pacific region and the world. The Conference is organized by the Taiwan Documentation Centre of Lyon (CDTL), Lyon Institute of East Asia (IAO) and EATS. It welcomes scholars from all disciplinary perspectives that offer comparative aspects of Taiwan with particular focus on domestic, geopolitical, and maritime issues in the areas of society, politics, culture, economy, and historical studies.
