There has been significant expansion and globalization of Chinese capital, people, and ideas since the early 2000s. The Chinese government’s “going out” (zou chuqu) policy and more recent Belt and Road Initiative reflect a domestic context of capital over-accumulation, an attempt to ensure adequate supply of raw materials and energy, as well as interest in fostering the global competitiveness of its enterprises. Flows of capital, people, and ideas from China have not only increased, but also greatly diversified over the last two decades to reach fields as diverse as energy, trade, transport, media, education, finance, and so on. If China’s global imprint has been most prominent in the economic or geo-economic fields, the country’s increasing presence also has important social, cultural and political aspects. Hence, this conference will discuss how Chinese global engagements shape new political, economic, and social configurations.
This is an international conference for PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers.
The conference will have 4 main panels:
- Mobility, Networks, Flows of Ideas and Capital
- Global Markets, Political Economies, and Infrastructures
- Investments and Infrastructures
- Global Engagements Abroad, Belt and Road Initiatve and Regional Institutions
Conference program is available here. The event is by invitation only.
