Sunshower at Nihonbashi (1833–34) by Hiroshige Utagawa (1797–1858), a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter, andprintmaker of the Edo period.
In early summer, most parts of Japan get visited by a rainy season, the so-called tsuyu (or baiyu), literally meaning“plum rain”, because it coincides with the season of plums ripening.
In this composition, the bridge at Nihonbashi, the first of fifty-three stage posts on the Tokaido Road from Edo(Tokyo) to Kyoto., is seen as rain begins to fall. In the background, are Edo’s two other great sights, the Shogun’s
castle at upper right, and, in the distance, Mount Fuji.
The image used is from the Rogers Fund, 1918, and is published under the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Open

welcome to acss/acsee 2014
Dear Delegates,
Welcome to the great Asian city of Osaka in the wonderful Kansai region, the artistic, historical, cultural and gastronomic
center of Japan. Osaka has been home to the International Academic Forum’s Asian Conference Series since 2009, when
IAFOR was founded, and is now hosting the Fifth Asian Conference on the Social Sciences and the Fourth Asian Conferenceon Sustainability, Energy and the Environment.
An IAFOR conference is an international, interdisciplinary, intercultural and inter-professional event that invites academics,
practitioners, scholars and researchers from around the world to meet, network, share intellectual developments, explore
challenges to dominant paradigms, and exchange ideas in a supportive environment.

Since 2009, IAFOR has promoted and facilitated research synergies and partnerships between individuals and institutions in andbetween Asian countries and the outside world.This function as a network hub has seen IAFOR grow to develop partnerships
with many of the world’s foremost institutions of learning, and this event is strongly supported by this global partnership,including Waseda University (Japan), Birkbeck University of London (UK), The National Institute of Education (Singapore),
The National University of Tainan (Taiwan), Lincoln University (UK), the Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKSAR), Auburn
University (USA), and our newest partner, Virginia Tech (USA).
IAFOR provides an international academic forum that encourages the development of collaborative links and connections
between the researchers, academics, scholars and practitioners, and I strongly encourage your active and open-mindedengagement with the conference over this long weekend together.
This weekend we are more than 350 delegates from over 50 countries, as we come together to seek insights and answers
from each other in search of multidisciplinary research synergies.
I would like to thank the conference chairs and the keynote and featured speakers, as well as each and every delegate, and I
look forward to meeting you all.

letter of welcome

The conference theme is an important and timely one, as we look at conflicts within and between individuals, communities andsocieties, as well as possible resolutions and synergies.The programme promises to be exciting, with thematic topics that address
the central aim of the conference in different but complementary ways, including papers that draw on empirical research,develop theoretical and conceptual insights, and engage with the sciences from varied research approaches. The conference
will be enhanced through its wide variety of presenters, who will draw on their diverse experiences and knowledges, and on
their academic, personal and geographical contexts, in a programme that promises stimulating and challenging discussion andintellectual discovery.

We are entering an age where sustainable companies will reign supreme. Reams of evidence from books like Conscious
Capitalism, to articles in the Harvard Business Review, to studies tracking stock market returns show that companies
integrating social and environmental perspectives are outperforming their peers, even during the 2008 financial crisis.
Yet despite the importance of sustainability most business leaders stumble on how to align sustainable tactics to createcompetitive advantage.
Strategic sustainability offers a solution to the language barriers and otherwise haphazard implementation ofsustainability initiatives recently highlighted in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology & Boston Consulting Group
report on “Sustainability’s Next Frontier.” The study found that while nearly two-thirds of survey respondents felt
sustainability was important to their businesses, only 10% of companies said they fully tackle sustainability related
issues. Linking sustainability and business strategy was a key difference in whether or not companies made gains fromsustainable practices.
Using case studies from around the globe, this presentation explores the Abundance Cycle™, an actionable model
merging business strategy with sustainability principles. The Abundance Cycle™ provides a strategic framework thatsimultaneously enhances competitive advantage, builds value for shareholders, strengthens society and improves theenvironment.
Business and academic leaders interested in the following questions should attend:• Why are we entering the economic age of sustainability?
• How does sustainability in commerce move beyond a zero-sum game to build abundance for all stakeholders?
• How can strategic sustainability create social and environmental abundance offer a new perspective forenterprises that unlocks innovation, cuts costs and grows sales?

Spotlight Speech: Conceptualizing Soft Power in the U.S. Decision to Implement the Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities

Spotlight Speech:

10:30-11:00
Conference Hall 12F

This study examines the applicability of the concept of soft power in U.S. foreign policy with regard to international
treaties, in particular the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), through the lenses of both
political science and psychology. Soft power, the practice of multilateral public diplomacy based on persuasion throughone’s cultural and normative influence, has increasingly captured the interest of scholars and policy-makers. In practice,
the U.S. government has demonstrated diverse reactions to international treaties. The George W. Bush administration
was critical toward international treaties, including the CRPD, regarding them as an interference into U.S. domestic
politics. The Barack Obama administration has advocated accepting the international treaty of disability rights as a
U.S. diplomatic attempt to enhance human rights at home and within the international community. This study applies
the concept of soft power to the question of U.S. implementation of the CRPD. It argues that by taking an active
initiative in enhancing the rights of a particular minority group, the community of persons with disabilities, the U.S.
could increase its influence and play an important role in the issue of human rights internationally.The study concludes
by making policy relevant suggestions regarding U.S. implementation of the international treaty governing rights for
persons with disabilities. Doing so has the potential to enhance U.S. prestige in the international community as well asserve its national interests in the long-term.

IAFORThe International Academic Forum
Academic Vision and Mission“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The vision of IAFOR grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activities of the academic
world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum existed because of the lack ofopportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners
in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists,
educational managers (political decision-makers and organizational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT,
library work, exchange programs, and specialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact?
Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritize in the 21st century? What
do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well being? How can people on the ground, trying to implement
improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above all, what are the agendas that will drive
mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively.
One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at one of our conferences was the recognition that some of therhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term “poverty” because it can be
defined only in a relative way. “Hunger” was put forward as being more immediate and itself a contributory factor to poverty, rather
than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could be the provision of safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in somecontexts, while flood management might be necessary elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they
help to relieve hunger in specific contexts.
IAFOR is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Osaka, Japan’s great commercial and manufacturing hub,
one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that is already eclipsing the long dominant Atlantic zone. Our conferences present
those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, it encourages interdisciplinary activity to be expanded.
Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those
overly dependent on fixed academic structures often see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in IAFOR. Its
purpose is to generate new approaches that cross any disciplinary lines. The principle employed is to let the imagination permit
intuitive responses to questions. There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The model ofacademic work as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need for solid and well-founded
academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh approaches to old questions.
Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, we encourage innovation through cross-cultural perception.
Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realize or admit. The need to see and internalize insights
gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination.
Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a globalized world, but in reality parochialism still holds
sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the re-establishment of numerous former countries. While
this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds to the world’s cultural confusion. Exchange leads to explanation andthat helps the growth of intercultural awareness.
IAFOR makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. Our conferences are not a substitute for specialist conferences.
We intend our events to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to the extreme tendencies that can arise
from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, IAFOR is promoting and facilitating a new multifaceted approach to oneof the core issues of our time, namely globalization and its many forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts acrossthe worlds of business, and academia, along with its impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given
the organization its momentum, and is making it a pioneer in this global age.

can access our academic journals,
monographs, magazine, conferencematerials and special publications

All papers published in the journal have been subjected to the rigorous and accepted processesof academic peer review. Neither editors nor members of the editorial team are remunerated fortheir work. Authors will never be asked to “contribute” towards publication costs.
How are papers selected?
Journal Editors may accept papers through an open call, and proposed articles may be sent directly
to the respective editors. A small number of papers from the associated IAFOR conference
proceedings may also be selected by the journal editor(s) for reworking and revising subject tonormal processes of review. It is expected that between 5 and 10 percent of papers included inany given conference proceedings will be developed for inclusion in the associated conference
journal.
How are IAFOR Journals related to IAFOR conferences?
IAFOR’s journals reflect the interdisciplinary and international nature of our conferences andare organized thematically.
