Conference Theme:

We invite papers which investigate any aspect of "Greater China" in the midst of Globalization. Papers can address the major issues and challenges (including political, economic, social, environmental, legal, foreign policy, regional security and peace, regional and global governance) facing China, HK, Macau, and Taiwan, particularly with the rise of China in the region, and examine the role of China as a responsible "regional citizen" and "global citizen" with its rising power in shaping a Greater China and the rest of the world, the role of HK and Taiwan in the political economy of reform and development in China, and the role of a greater China in competing with one another and competing possibly as an economic community with the other groups in the era of globalization. Well researched conference papers will have the opportunity: (1) to be published in Journal of Chinese Political Science (JCPS); (2) and/or to be published in edited books flowing from the conference.
