- Economic development and restructuring: industrial structures, labor forces, and networking in global or local contexts.
- Political studies: democratization, electoral politics, state and society relations, social movements, national identity, ethnic identity and relations.
- Public policy: environmental movements, environmental or urban planning, welfare, health care, poverty.
- International relations: national security, Taiwan-China relations, Taiwan-U.S. relations, foreign investment, NGO development, foreign policies.

- Education: educational reform, language education, teaching and curriculum.
- Aborigines studies: Aborigine languages and cultural heritage, preservation, public policies toward aborigines, aborigine heritage and national identity issues.
Participants are not confined to the topics suggested above. As this is a Taiwan studies conference, the context of the paper should be centered on Taiwan, but we encourage a comparative approach with
other regions of the world. Panel proposals (along with paper abstracts) are also welcome.
