Chinese Politics Mini-Conference

Since its inception in 2016, the Chinese Politics Mini-Conference has facilitated connections and community building across the Chinese politics field. In this 2024 mini-conference, we build on this existing tradition by featuring a set of theoretically and methodologically diverse papers, presented by scholars across ranks and global academic affiliations. The research presented at this conference will examine issues in both domestic politics and international relations, drawing on historical, contemporary, and emerging phenomenon to make sense of Chinese politics today.

The mini-conference will also include a lunch session featuring a keynote speech by an eminent scholar of Chinese Politics, as well as a post-conference reception to allow scholars to form professional relationships and foster new intellectual connections. We anticipate the sponsoring universities for these activities to include the following institutions: Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), University of Pennsylvania, and Zhejiang University.
