Subject: International Forum for Contemporary Chinese Studies: call for papers
Dear Friends,
The Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing and relevant events recently have shown the importance and complexity of China’s integration into the international community. An international forum is to be established to bring together key research institutions, scholars, policy makers and industry leaders world-wide to exchange research and policy ideas related to China and its impact on the world. An inaugural conference is to be held at the University of Nottingham during 19-21 November 2008 with a broad theme of "Post-Olympic China: globalisation and sustainable development after three decades of reforms". The attached document outlines further details about the conference and invited speakers.

* Overseas Chinese, international migration and impacts on China’s rise
* International conventions, human rights and China’s development
* The international impact of Chinese enterprises going global and aid projects
III. Roles of science and technology in China’s sustainable development
