CFP: Wellington Conference on Contemporary China 2013

The China Research Centre invites proposals for the Wellington Conference on Contemporary China 2013. The conference theme is: China’s Global Course: The Political Economy of China Going Global. The conference brings international scholars together for a two-day international conference to examine the trends and emerging pattern of China’s international trade, investment, and activities in other international economic sectors, analyse and explain how these trends and patterns shape global and regional economic order, and assess what medium and long term impact they have on the national economy, politics and policy of individual countries. The conference invites scholars and policy analysts to examine and explain the trends and patterns of Chinese international economic activities, analyse and measure crucial aspects of China’s impact on the world economy at the global and national levels, and assess the analytical tools we have to understand global economic developments brought about by the growth of the Chinese economy. The organizing committee invites participants to submit abstracts of up to 150 words before April 30, 2013 to Professor Xiaoming Huang (xiaoming.huang@vuw.ac.nz), chair of the organizing committee, and Dr. Jason Young (jason.young@vuw.ac.nz), programme coordinator at the NZCCRC. Selected papers will be published by an international publisher after the completion of the conference. You may download the full call here in PDF.
