goes Global Conference
The Belt and Road Initiative: Global Perspective
June 18th-20th, 2018
emlyon business school, Shanghai, China
The 12th Annual
China goes GlobalTM conference will be held in Shanghai, China. We encourage
paper writers, panel presenters, book authors, professionals, representative of firms 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.
As 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 showcase 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:
Special Issue: A special issue from the conference will be published
by the International Journal of Emerging Markets, an Emerald journal that is indexed and ranked by Scopus and ABS. Articles from past Special Issues have achieved a high number of downloads and citations. (see:
