Following the successful collaboration of the 4th International Forum for Contemporary China Studies (IFCCS4)
CCPN is supporting the IFCCS5
in 2012, founded by the University of Nottingham.
The special significance of the IFCCS5 is that it will be held before the 18th Chinese Communist Party Congress. Although
many of the
themes and issues remain the same showing the continuity with the previous forums, the title of the IFCCS5 ‘Contending Models for China’s
Future Development: Society Building and Governance’,
clears out a noteworthy phenomenon: in the next historical period of
China's social development, along with the deepened level of social
reform
and construction of a harmonious society, the main theme is likely to be
an interest in bottom-up social governance and ‘society building’ with
combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches.
The
IFCCS5 will showcase the latest research results of Chinese and
non-Chinese scholars in this field, and through discussions,
engage in-depth and theoretical studies with this topic and develop its
applied value into policy making. China in comparative perspective might
be helpful in thinking about these questions:
· How
to draw the world's relevant experience in the process of China’s ‘society building and governance’?
· What
are the similarities and differences between China's ‘society building’ and ‘nation building’ inside and outside China?
· How
can
China make a contribution in shaping the global society with the
experiences of construction of China's ‘harmonious society’?
Note: the deadline has been extended to the 8th
May.
