About this event

Event lasts 2 days 8 hours

China’s presence is now felt in almost every aspect of the planet. From its commodities and culture to its population and politics, “Global China” is increasingly reshaping our world. This conference seeks to bring together scholars, policy makers, and experts from diverse fields to exchange and share their experiences and research findings, with a particular emphasis on grounding Global China. What we mean by this is understanding the on-ground dynamics of Global China in specific places and making space for complex relations and a multiplicity of actors.

This conference will be held by the Centre for Contemporary Chinese Studies (CCCS), which plays a vital role in shaping an Australian approach to the study of contemporary China and serves as a significant source of research-based information on China, Chinese societies and Chinese economies in the 21st century. Proudly sponsored by the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne, the 2024 CCCS Conference will provide a welcoming and engaging platform for scholars to share, discuss, and debate the dynamics of “Global China”. We particularly welcome PhD students and early career academics to join the discussion.

We invite original papers on “Global China”, broadly defined, as well as other issues related to China, including but not limited to:

▪ Belt and Road Initiative local-level impacts

▪ The making of Chinese expertise

▪ Global China and extractive industries

▪ Telling Global China stories

▪ Ecological civilisation goes global

▪ South-South development cooperation

▪ Chinese NGO and civil society engagements

▪ Transnational entrepreneurship

▪ Transnational Chinese diaspora

▪ Transnationalism from below

▪ Digital transnationalism

▪ Chinese culture and linguistic impacts overseas
