Preface Ⅰ

Tao Yitao

You are now presented with the proceedings of the International Conference on Sustainable Development in East Asia Countries, which is heldfor the 30th anniversary of the academic exchange and cooperation between China Center for Special Economic Zone Research (CCSEZR),Shenzhen University (SZU), a key research base for humanities and social sciences of Ministry of Education of China, and Institute of ForeignAffairs (IFA), Kumamoto Gakuen University (KGU). The proceedings include 28 academic papers authored by scholars from China, Japan and SouthKorea on academic issues including industrial policy and structural transformation, social security system and public policy, and government’s rolein innovation, etc. Scholars from different countries have made either similar or different theoretical explanations for issues confronting theirrespective economies and regional economic cooperation during economic globalization from political, economic and even cultural perspectivesbased on the status quo on the economic and social development in their respective countries. Rational dialog, inclusive development, scientificdiscussion, mutual respect and common prosperity are not only the philosophies that we have consistently adhered to, but also what we wish for,so to speak. Collisions of ideas may result in new insights and wise talks may bring about enlightenment. It is my belief that, in the world of humancognition, nothing is more charismatic and powerful than the ideas and wisdom that lead human to rationality, dignity and prosperity.
