Call for submissions: HELSINKI CONFERENCE ON CHINESE MODEL OF GOVERNANCE

The Confucius Center at the University of Helsinki is calling for submissions to present at the Helsinki Conference on Chinese Model of Governance to be held on 20 March 2018 at the University of Helsinki, Finland.

Scholars are invited to revisit discussions of the Chinese model of governance and articulate the old and new features of Xi Jinping’s model of governance. Most current research on the China model debates whether there is such model, and the characteristics and essences of the model if it exists. This conference welcomes critical empirical case studies of various manifestations of the Chinese model of governance, ranging from local governance, local election, civil society to economic policies.

Keynote speakers to the conference are Oscar Almén, Uppsala University, Sweden, and Zhongyuan Wang from Fudan University, China.

Submissions to present at the conference are requested by 1 November 2017.

Please the title of your proposed presentation, an abstract (150 words), brief biographical information and contact details to the Director of the Confucius Institute at the University of Helsinki, Professor Julie Chen, at julie.chen (at) helsinki.fi.
