in the modern and contemporary socio-political landscape of the region. More specifically, it wishes to explore the universality and particularity of the conceptual development of sovereignty in East Asia in relation to its European counterpart.<span> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Referring to the divine right of kings, the Bodinean notion of sovereignty originally sought to legitimize monarchical absolutism. The concept was later radically reinterpreted by
liberal and republican theorists who cemented the idea of social contract. The European ideas about sovereignty reached East Asia in the middle of the 19th century when the Imperial Chinese tributary system confronted Western colonialism, and soon spread across
the region. Imperial Japan imported the concept of sovereignty to legitimize its method of nation-building through Western modernization. Between the two regional powers, Korean intellectuals developed the idea of <i>Yangjeol</i>or the half-suzerain half-sovereign
regime. Such localization of the concept of sovereignty proceeded over time and manifested in historical events as well as institutions in East Asia.<span> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The idea of sovereignty gives rise to an important question: whose authority matters? On the one hand, nation-states have been imagined as the only legitimate source of political authority,
which led to the principle of national sovereignty. On the other hand, there has been a growing consensus worldwide that states should reflect the interests of their citizens, which became crystallized as the democratic ideal of popular sovereignty.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

exist not only between states but also within them. We observe various cases throughout East Asia where indigenous peoples, minority groups, and others seek popular sovereignty over their local affairs and rights. The conference therefore welcomes applicants
to submit papers that reflect the many diverse topics concerning sovereignty in the context of East Asia. Potential topics may include but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
