International Conference: China Law Studies in Europe
MPI für Privatrecht, Hamburg, 30.08.2007, 9.00
In cooperation with the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law will be holding the first annual conference of the „European China Law Studies Association“ ( ECLS) from 30 August through 1 September 2007. Chinese law and its development meet a growing interest in Europe and elsewhere in the West. Legal scholars have identified Chinese law as a new and innovative field of study. Still, their number continues to be small due to the lack of linguistic proficiency in Chinese. Methods of research and teaching vary widely, and institution-building and networking between legal scholars are still in their infancy with regard to research and teaching of Chinese law.The conference of the European Association for China Law Studies is to bring together legal scholars from European countries and from all over the world. This conference series is to become a meeting point for the promotion of research and teaching of Chinese law and for the exchange of information among those involved in organising China law studies. In addition, the conference should provide a forum for the development of individual research projects. Particular consideration will be given to pluralism of methods in order to increase awareness of their variety.
The maximum number of participants has been reached. We appreciate your understanding that no additional registrations may be accepted.
