Call for Papers
11th China goes Global
Conference
June 15-17, 2017
University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway
The 11th Annual
China goes Global© conference will be held in Kristiansand, Norway, located in the southern tip of the country. We encourage paper writers, panel presenters, book authors, and PhD students researching China’s globalization to submit their work on our website
(http://www.chinagoesglobal.org/conference/paper-submission).
China’s economic size and growth and prominence in today’s global institutions, political agreements, and economic development raise the need to examine how
China affects the rest of the world and vice versa. Particularly, we are interested in how Chinese movement of people, ideas, money and products affect other nations, industries and companies. We seek multi-disciplinary, multi-method and multi-level studies
on the globalization of China in general.
A significant part of the world’s economy, trade, and investment regimes, China is a center of influence on geopolitics, world institutions, and global economic
health. We seek to present research on the internationalization of China from multi-disciplinary perspectives, including political economy, business, sociology, the humanities and environmental studies. Previous conference attendees hailed from across the
globe, mostly from the academy, but also from government, international institutions, and business sectors.
As in past years, several points of distinction will mark this year’s conference:
