Thirty years of reforms: What about Capitalism in China ?
CERDI-IDREC, University of Auvergne, France / CCES, Fudan University, Shanghai, China
Clermont-Ferrand, October 22-23, 2009 |
The CERDI-IDREC organizes every two years an international conference on the Chinese economy, with the objective of strengthening scientific collaboration and contacts between research centres around the world. This year, the conference is organized in collaboration with the CCES, Fudan University (Shanghai, China).
As such, the conference will include academic researchers as well as practitioners from international organizations. The theme of the conference will focus on the characteristics of China’s capitalism after 30 years of reforms. The startling transformation that began 30 years ago with the accession of Deng Xiaoping has been one of the world's great stories. China has moved from a state planned and state owned economy towards state regulation of a hybrid economic system with the existence of a private economic sphere that remains very close to the state system that spawned it. Besides its achievements and experience, mistakes have also been made and there are lessons to be learned from these.
All papers dealing with China's capitalism are welcome. This year, the conference will focus more specifically on the following topics: economic policy, inequalities, productivity, “soft infrastructure” (immaterial conditions such as the rule of law, open financial institutions, civil society and entrepreneurial spirit), education and environment. Long run issues can be developed. A special attention should be paid to the role of history in the evolution of the Chinese economy.
