The 16th WAPE Forum will be held on 25-27 September 2023 at Fuzhou City, China. This forum will be co-organized by the World Association for Political Economy and Fujian Normal University.
This forum’s theme will be Chinese modernizaton and the prospects of world
modernization. World modernization has gone through three waves of development, and various modes of modernization emerged in these waves. Chinese modernization contains elements that are common to the modernization of other countries, but its most distinctive features shatter the myth that “modernization equals westernization,” while offering the humankind new paths to modernization. It inspires us to reflect on the problems of western capitalist modernization, helping developing countries find a suitable path for their own modernization, and remapping world modernization. This forum aims to generate both greater knowledge and new plicy options for the better advance of Chinese modernization and world modernization. WAPE 2023 invites all contributions that enrich the perspective of modernization and expand the ground for further discussion.
OFFICIAL LANGUAGE: The official language of the Forum is Chinese and
English with simultaneous translation.
To register for the 16th WAPE Forum, you must become a WAPE member first.
