China’s Role in Global & Regional Governance

 

 

The S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) at Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) is organizing a conference on China’s role in global and regional governance on March 10-11, 2011 in Singapore. The goal is to tap into the expertise and insights of experts from a variety of disciplines to illuminate on various issues concerning China’s involvement and role in global and regional governance. The conference organizers will produce a conference report that will be shared by policy makers and the scholarly community. We also plan to produce a conference-based book volume.

We would like to invite abstracts (approximately 300 words) on the following topics or other topics pertinent to the conference theme:

· China’s assessment of current global and regional governance

· China’s strategic thinking with regard to global governance

· New ideas, new proposals, and new initiatives in China’s approach to global and regional governance

· China’s role in traditional global security issues, i.e. arms control and disarmament

· China’s approach to international peace-keeping operations

· China’s approach to international financial governance

· China’s role in world trade regimes

· China’s approach to global climate change issues

· China’s approach to regional security architecture in East Asia

· China and East Asian non-traditional security

· China and East Asian financial stability
