This series will focus on the sociopolitical, economic, diplomatic, legal, military, and gender-related policies, debates, and practices in China and Taiwan in modern times.
We are calling for proposals on topics such as;
• Divergent paths of modernization pursued by the Communists and the Nationalists
• The extent to which China’s modernization represents a replication or revision of Western or Japanese models
• The complex and often arduous process of China’s modernization
• The underlying reasons for China’s persistent resistance to Western influence and its efforts to preserve traditional elements
• The definition and nature of “modernization with Chinese characteristics”
• The degree to which it has been shaped by Western models
