Where is China going? Globalization at a turning point

We are happy to announce the highly anticipated return of the in-person China Goes Global™ Conference to be held in Italy hosted in Bologna (Italy), by CiMET (Italy’s National University Center for Applied Economic Studies).

Keynote speakers include:

1) Prof. Vinod Aggarwal, The University of California at Berkeley

2) Prof. Peter Buckley, Leeds University, United Kingdom

As the premier conference on the topic, we seek contemporary contributions from various business/management disciplines, to broader social sciences and other multidisciplinary perspectives of the globalization of China.

Papers, book presentations, and panel proposals are especially encouraged in the following areas:

• Theoretical explorations of Chinese flows of people, goods, ideas and money
• Testing the limits of Western-centric theories in the context of China’s globalization
• Industrial policies and structural change in China
• Business models with “Chinese characteristics”
• Development of new Chinese-centric and indigenous theories
• The role of emerging markets multinationals
• Cluster of firms, SMEs, and regional development in China
• Managing and organizing Chinese companies/subsidiaries abroad
• Comparison of China with other emerging markets
• Chinese engagement in India, Asia, America, Australia, Latin America, and other regions
• Impact of Chinese foreign direct investment
• The role of government in shaping the “going out” policy and its impact of internationalization
• Chinese state capitalism and alternative economic systems
• Sustainable development and corporate social responsibility (CSR) of Chinese multinationals
• Global supply chain/logistics and global value chain
• Culture, trust, reputation of Chinese multinationals
• Techno-entrepreneurship, e-commerce, online development in and out of China
• Big data, privacy and digital innovation in China
• Contracts and intellectual property rights in contemporary China
• Environmental protection and law in China
• Europe and China legal and economic cooperation
• New challenges in technology, innovation and hard sciences in China
• China’s competitors: industry, innovation, and technology in Europe/US/Emerging Countries

Against the backdrop of the severe testing of the global institutional framework caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the lingering Covid-19 challenges, China’s role in globalization is undergoing fundamental changes. We invite interested scholars and practitioners to come together and explore these changes.

Since 2006, China Goes Global™ conferences have convened a unique set of contributions on the globalization of the Chinese business environment, economy, and society.  The conference is unique in several ways.  First, the conference is international, inter-disciplinary and developmental in nature. We invite competitive papers, recently published book authors, focused panels and work-in-progress for submission.  The conference provides an ideal opportunity for scholars and practitioners, as well as Ph.D. students to share and discuss their most recent high-quality work with other experts in this research field. Best papers are also given the chance to be published in the International Journal of Emerging Markets, a Scopus-ranked journal by Emerald.  Second, we have fun. In addition to insightful ideas, the conference also includes a reception, a performance, and great people and scholars with whom you can network. For the review of previous conferences, including a photo gallery, please see: http://www.chinagoesglobal.org/past-conferences/photos-from-past-conferences/. Finally, the conference is always accented with world re-known keynoters from the academic and business sectors.  For a list of previous keynoters, please see: http://www.chinagoesglobal.org/past-conferences/previous-key-noters/
