Foreword
The Korean Economic Association (KEA) is organizing its eighteenth international conference on “The Rise of Economic Nationalism in a New Era of Globalization” jointly with Asia-Pacific Economic Association (APEA) which is thirteenth of its own. KEA has organized an international conference every other year since 1982, yet it will be organized every year from this year on so as cope with a soaring demand for more forums for economists in a new era of globalization.
This year, three keynote speeches and nearly 160 papers will be presented to analyze and discuss the Korean economy at the crossroads as well as the Asia-Pacific economy confronted with new challenges and opportunities, focusing on the scholarly and policy-oriented perspective. A couple of panel sessions on the rise of economic nationalism in a new era of globalization and the partnership for sustainable development would at least help seeking a way out respectively.
At a time of uncertainty and the crossroads, we hope that this year’s conference will become an open podium for confronting many problems facing Korea, including the Asia-Pacific region as well, and provide solutions that will push Korea and other countries into a better economic future.

The Asia-Pacific Economic Association (APEA)
The association was established as a result of a series of conferences organized by a group of economists in the United States, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China on the Asian economies and the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
They all felt the need for more forums for economists to share their research work with others, to interact with other economists, to search for more research opportunities and topics, to make policy recommendations, and to make more friends. The association has the following missions:
- to promote interactions among economists in the Asia-Pacific region and in other parts of the world;
- to encourage economic research in the region; and
- to disseminate economic research results.
Since the summer of 2005, APEA has been organizing annual conferences in different places to provide a forum to economists to present their research ideas and results, and to interact with economists from all over the world. For more information, please visit the APEA's web site.
