Call for Papers

The Centre of Economic Development Research (CEDR) at Wuhan 
University, China, in cooperation with the European Society for the 
History of Economic Thought (ESHET) and with the Society for the 
Chinese History of Economic Thought (SCHET) organizes a joint conference on

Thoughts on Economic Development, China and the West
11-12 October 2010, Wuhan

Chinese traditions of economic thinking are at least as old as their 
European counterparts, and in various periods Chinese ideas 
influenced economic thinking in the West, particularly in the age of 
physiocracy. Different strands of Western political and economic 
thought have, on the other hand, made a strong impact on the 
development of the Chinese society and economy during the 20th 
century, in the transition from empire to republic, in the emergence 
of the people's republic, and in the ongoing process of economic 
transformation. This conference will take stock of the development, 
cross-fertilization and contextual adaption of economic ideas in 
China and the West. The focus is set on theories about economic order 
and development in China. Other relevant contributions, in particular 
about the development of development economics and growth economics, 
are also welcome.

Paper proposals submitted for the conference should thus preferably 
address one or more of the following themes:

- Chinese Economic Thinking before the 20th Century

- Chinese Economic Thinking in the 20th Century
	
- Dissemination of Western Economic Ideas in China

- Dissemination of Chinese Economic Ideas in the West

- Economic Thinking in and about the Chinese Transformation Process(es)

- The Development of Development Economics and Growth Economics

Proposals of papers plus abstracts of no more than 800 words each 
should be submitted electronically before 31 March 2010 to Ma Ying 
([log in to unmask]) and Hans-Michael Trautwein 
([log in to unmask]). Applicants will be informed 
about a decision concerning the acceptance of their proposals before 
30 April 2010. First versions of the accepted papers will have to be 
submitted in full by 1 August 2010. Some travel grants will be made 
available by the organizers.
