由中国社科院民族所和加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚大学联合主办、加拿大驻华大使馆协办的“西部开发及其经济社会变迁”中加国际学术研讨会, 2008年3月28－29日在北京召开。会议旨在增进中加两国学者在西部开发理论和实践方面的相互了解，研究加拿大经验对中国西部开发的借鉴，探讨中加学者未来合作对话的机制。会议得到了加拿大外交部和不列颠哥伦比亚大学大学亚洲研究所的资助。
在开幕式上，中国社会科学院社会政法学部主任、民族所所长、学部委员郝时远教授致欢迎辞。郝时远指出，中国的西部大开发战略，是当代世界范围规模最大、区域最广、问题最复杂的经济社会发展实践，也是学术研究最广泛的田野。在推进西部大开发的进程中，有必要吸收和借鉴世界范围的成功经验，开展和推动广泛的学术交流与合作。中加两国都在西部开发方面积累了相关的经验，因此，通过两国学者的对话和交流，无疑将有利于推动区域经济平衡和社会公平正义的发展目标。郝时远强调，中国西部地区地域辽阔，自然地理条件、自然环境状况、经济发展基础、民族文化类型、社会组织形式等都具有多样性和特殊性。在中国全面建设小康社会的共同目标，西部地区的现代化发展不可能完全按照东南沿海地区的发展模式来推动，需要因地制宜地采取从实际出发的措施。
加拿大驻华大使馆一等秘书兼副领事欧昊宇（Louis-Martin Aumais）、中国社会科学院国际合作局副局长张友云、不列颠哥伦比亚大学中国研究中心主任艾莉森•贝利（Alison Bailey)博士也先后在开幕式上致辞，对会议的召开表示祝贺并希望今后开展更广泛的中加学术交流和合作。在主席台上就座的贵宾还有：加拿大驻华大使馆学术关系官员王荔女士、不列颠哥伦比亚大学社会学系詹森（Graham Johnson）教授、蒙特利尔大学地理学系富彼得（Peter M. Foggin）教授、云南大学发展研究院院长杨先明教授。开幕式由中国社科院民族所龙远蔚研究员主持。
来自加拿大和中国的三位著名学者先后作主旨发言。中国社会科学院学部委员郝时远：“西藏经济社会发展与拉萨事件”；不列颠哥伦比亚大学黛安娜•拉瑞（Diana Lary）和彭德（Pitman Potter）：“民族术语及其涵义的比较”，由艾莉森•贝利博士代为演讲；蒙特利尔大学地理系富彼得：“加拿大原住民搬迁安置的实践和经验”。不列颠哥伦比亚大学社会学系詹森教授主持了主旨发言。
本次会议除主旨发言外，共有9场小组专题发言，每一专题均有1名外国学者和2-3名中国学者发言并进行讨论，较好地体现了中外学者的互动。学者们围绕西部开发的理论和政策、生态移民和环境问题、教育与减贫、民族文化多样性保护等议题进行了深入的探讨。大家一致认为，上述议题皆为中国政府和学术界应该抓住的具有挑战性和持续性的问题，加拿大等国历史上的西部开发的经验和教训，对中国的西部开发和构建和谐社会有某些借鉴和启示。学者们普遍认为，自世纪至交中国西部大开发战略实施至尽已进入第八个年头。客观地说，近年来西部地区在加强基础设施和生态环境保护建设方面发生了很大变化，包括公路、铁路、机场等建设，以及退耕还林、退牧还草等建设，为西部地区今后的发展奠定了重要物质基础和良好发展环境。但西部地区发展仍然面临严峻挑战。近年来的研究数据表明，东西部之间的差距在扩大是客观事实。从地区生产总值看，这种状况恐怕在今后相当长的一段时间内将依然存在。而且，这种现象目前在有些发达国家中的发达与欠发达地区也存在，比如位于加拿大中东部的安大略、魁北克省与西部草原三省的差距也较大。讨论缩小区域发展差距，应该将重点放在缩小西部地区基本公共服务方面与东部地区的差距上，改善民生，加快西部地区社会建设，如加强民族教育、进一步扩大新型农村牧区合作医疗制度覆盖范围、建立和完善农村牧区低保制度等等。最终目标是以实现地区之间的基本公共服务均等化，让西部地区各族群众和全国人民一道共享发展成果，实现各民族的共同繁荣。
共有来自加拿大、美国、英国、瑞典、日本、尼日利亚和中国等7个国家的60余人专家学者出席了会议，其中20人为国际学者，包括：加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚大学、蒙特利尔大学、怀尔逊大学、多伦多大学、加拿大公务员学校、渥太华联合学院、加拿大驻华大使馆和加拿大国际发展署，英国国际发展部，瑞典歌德堡大学，日本一桥大学，美国加洲大学伯克利分校、福特基金会(北京)，中国香港大学、香港曙光慈善基金会等。中国大陆学者40人来自新疆社会科学院、新疆师范大学、新疆昌吉学院、兰州大学、西北民族大学、宁夏大学、北方民族大学、辽宁警官学院、云南大学、浙江大学、复旦大学、天津师范大学、清华大学、中国农业大学、中国人民大学、中国传媒大学、外交学院、国际环境与发展学院、国家发展与改革委员会经济研究所、中国社科院社会学研究所、中国社科院工业经济研究所、中国社科院民族所等22个研究机构。
