Research Centers
Against the macro-background where China’s economy is undergoing fast and continuous growth and this country has blended with the globe with regards to politics, economy, culture, science & technology and education, the Center is dedicated to conducting in-depth research on existing key international issues and urgent diplomatic issues faced by China so as to serve the consultation and decision-making needs of the Chinese government in handling foreign relations. The Center stresses an integrated study of major international political and economic issues and encourages the use of interdisciplinary analytical methods. With a reasonable composition of age groups-the old, the young and the middle-aged, the Center’s research force is mainly composed of scholars from the School of International Studies and the School of Economics, most of whom are equipped with great international communication abilities. In an effort to enhance understanding, communicate ideas and carry out civil diplomacy, the Center also actively spreads research achievements, enlarges academic influence and reinforces exchange with international academic peers through such activities as releasing research reports, press interviews, academic conference, forum and seminar and policy consultation.
