Summer Seminar on Livable Cities in Pacific Asia: Research Methods for Policy
Analysis

During the month of June 2005 the Globalization Research Center and the
East-West Center will host a Summer Seminar on Livable Cities with a focus on
Pacific Asia.  This intensive training program will cover both methods of
analysis and substantive issues in making cities in the region more livable.
Perspectives from key fields, such as environmental management, development
studies, and the social and political dynamics of governance, will offer
insights into key population, urban policy and planning issues.  Peter Xenos of
the East-West Center and Mike Douglass at the University of Hawaii are the
co-coordinators for this seminar.
