Dear SSJ Forum members,

We would like to invite you to our SASE mini conference on "Asia in the variety of capitalism". Research into the "Diversity of capitalism" originally focused on the theoretical and empirical examination of the European and U.S. experiences. This mini-conference will bring Asia into the forefront of the theoretical and empirical discussion of the "Diversity of capitalism"
approach and propose the very existence of an Asian diversity of capitalism.

The mini conference will discuss the Asian experience in three parts: (1) Asia in the diversity of capitalism, diversity of capitalism in Asia, (2) Understanding institutional change in Japan and other Asian countries and (3) Innovation and institutions in Asia. Confirmed discussants are David Soskice, Steve Casper and Gregory Jackson.

Sebastien Lechevalier (EHESS) and I would be pleased to see you at the SASE conference in Madrid. For further details, please compare the attachment.

With best wishes,

Cornelia Storz
