The 3^rd ACE International Conference

Theme

APEC Turns 20 and the Anniversary of the Financial Tsunami

Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of  City University of Hong Kong

Dear Scholars, Researchers, Educators, Policy-makers and Professionals,

The year 2009 will be an important and historical year. First, APEC celebrates its 20^th anniversary. Since its establishment in 1989, APEC has come a long way in the last twenty years. Of equal importance is the impact of the financial tsunami on the world economy one year on. Hence, both the development of Asian affairs and the aftermath of the financial tsunami will form the focus of academic research in 2009. 

The APEC Study Centre of the College of Business, City University of Hong Kong, is pleased to announce that the third All China Economics (ACE) International Conference will be held on December 14-16, 2009, at the City University of Hong Kong. The Conference now calls for submissions for presentation.

After the successful conclusion of the two previous ACE International Conferences in 2006 and 2007, the third ACE International Conference aims at providing a golden opportunity for researchers to present their pioneering and contemporary studies related to the two main themes, as well as other general themes. In addition to a series of presentation sessions, internationally renowned speakers will review contemporary issues. Scholars, researchers, professionals and students from different parts of the world and with different scholarly backgrounds are encouraged to participate in the conference, to meet and network with their counterparts from other world regions and discipline areas.

On behalf of the APEC Study Centre, I am pleased to invite you to submit an abstract of your paper and/or to organize a session for the Conference. A list of special and general topics is available at our "ACE Themes" section of the Conference website. Submissions for presentation will go through a rigorous double-blind review process before acceptance. All presentation papers will be included in the diskette of the Conference program.

Please join me and contribute your thoughts and ideas on the development of the world economy. I look forward to welcoming you to City University of Hong Kong.
