CALL FOR PAPERS

FOUR DECADES OF EU-CHINA RELATIONS: HOW FAR HAVE WE COME,

HOW FAR CAN WE GO?

ONE DAY WORKSHOP

5TH AUGUST 2015

UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE

DUNDEE, SCOTLAND UK

2015 marks the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the European Union

and the Peoples Republic of China. Both the EU and China have undergone major changes in the intervening

time period, and their bilateral relationship has broadened and deepened. The importance of their bilateral

economic interdependence and their growing political clout on the international stage points to the benefits of

closer cooperation in the 21st Century.

However, following the commencement of the strategic partnership in 2003 it appears that the lack of

subsequent progress has disappointed policymakers and observers on both sides, leading many to question the

value of defining the relationship in such terms. Nevertheless, it may be premature to write off the concept of

a strategic partnership, and instead view it as a work in progress.

This one-day event will seek to put the EU-China strategic relationship into perspective through discussion of

the opportunities and challenges, progress and setbacks that have arisen over the past four decades. We will

also take the opportunity to consider how the relationship is likely to progress in the coming years, and how

the two sides could work together more effectively.

We welcome submission of paper abstracts relating to any aspect of the EU-China relationship over the past

forty years, including, but not limited to, the following:

Political/diplomatic relations

Economic relations and global economic governance

Interaction in international institutions & the broader global arena

Global/regional security (including peacekeeping)

Human rights, democracy and governance

Civil society interactions

Track-2/people-people dialogue

Environmental cooperation/climate change issues

Regionalisation & regional politics

Please submit a paper proposal (250 words), contact details and a CV to Dr Scott Brown

([email protected]) by Wednesday, 10th June. Papers of around 6,000 words should be submitted

by no later than Wednesday, 29th July. All enquiries should be directed to Dr Brown, who can also be reach

on +44 (0)1382 381873. Submissions by PhD students are actively encouraged.
