Argument
The reforms launched in the late 1970s have deeply transformed Chinese
society, but also research on China: the theoretical and methodological challenges
raised by reform-era China have opened up a vast laboratory for researchers in
humanities and social sciences. Along with the growing exchanges between China
and Europe, the number of European doctoral candidates and recent PhDs in
humanities and social sciences doing research in and studying contemporary China
has increased; many young Chinese scholars also choose to bring their expertise on
contemporary China to European academic institutions. They all represent the future
of European research on contemporary China.
The main purpose of the third edition of this Conference is to provide a forum
for these young researchers at the European level and in China to engage with
each other’s work and foster a better understanding of economic and
socio-political processes at work in contemporary China as well as at an
international level as China is becoming an increasingly important global actor.
The Conference will be an occasion to facilitate exchanges on common research
subjects, compare perspectives and methodologies, and promote interdisciplinary
dialogue. By providing a space for debate and reflection, the Conference intends to
contribute to the emergence of more diverse theoretical approaches of
contemporary China, both in its domestic and international dimensions. It will enable
the participants not only to expand their network and broaden their horizon, but
also to take part in the construction of research networks and promote
China-Europe dialogue.
The participants will present their research during thematic panels. Each speaker
will deliver a paper in English, followed by a discussion with invited scholars and
specialists. Among the different topics: contributions may focus on, but are not
limited to, the hereafter topics :
Topic 1: Economic, institutional and politico-legal configurations in post-Mao China
(contributions may focus on, but are not limited to, the following topics : dynamics
of the political and legal systems, disaggregating the Party-state, defining the current
political regime, the political economies of post-Mao China, etc.)
Topic 2: Economic growth and sustainable development (including topics such as:
from the design of public policies to their implementation, environmental protection,
industrial development, enterprises, innovation policies, etc.)
Topic 3: China as a regional and global actor (including topics such as: international
relations, EU-China relations, global governance, Chinese outward investment,
geopolitics of energy, etc.)
Topic 4: Territorial and social reconfigurations (contributions may focus on, but are
not limited to, the following topics : centre-local relations, demography, urban and
rural development, social policies, social stratification and social groups, migration,
inequalities).
Topic 5: Civil society and social movements (including: what theoretical and
empirical tools for the study of state-society relations? Social mobilization and the
digital sphere, the dynamics of the public sphere, rights consciousness/rules
consciousness, etc.)
Topic 6: Communities, institutions and the self in post-Mao China (including topics
such as: social values, moral economies, religious communities, consumption, etc.)
Topic 7: Intellectual debates and cultural production (contributions may focus on,
but are not limited to : literature and arts, cinema and television).
