Globalization is increasingly being shaped by the non-Western world, most notably China. It is a staggering fact that China’s development during the past three decades has outpaced the growth rates of England during the industrial revolution.

We seek multi-disciplinary approaches, which can include analyses of China’s businesses, economic, social, legal environment, political systems, and ethical and social structures.
