从经验到理论：中国研究对政治科学和政治理论的贡献

Held at Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China from June 12-21, 2016

Taking empirical research as its foundation, this workshop provides an international academic platform to further advance the study of Chinese politics in the direction of conceptualization and theorization. This program will invite scholars from North America, Europe, and Greater China (including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) to present research on topics ranging from democratic accountability and policy-making, collective action and social protest, nationalism and ethnicity, good governance, authoritarian resilience and regime change, to the concept of “all under heaven” (tianxia guannian) and the nation-state system. The training program is open to junior scholars and doctoral students who are dedicated to the study of Chinese politics.
