CHINA global Conference, Fudan University, Shanghai

Expanding Spheres of Exchange 

May 11-12, 2019, Saturday & Sunday 

 

The conference is meant to tackle phenomena of expanding global exchanges - not only in economic but also in legal, social, and cultural terms - with a focus that might reflect China's emergence as a new pivot of globalization. What do these exchanges, or processes, look like in various field? What are their manifest or tacit normative conditions and presumptions, as seen from the vantagepoint of the respective participants? And what are their effects in terms of normative convergence or divergence? It is questions like these what we hope to learn more about.
