    CEM-Funded Conference Participation

     

     

     

     

    ogden s picPolitical Science Professor Suzanne Ogden and PhD student Chow Bing Ngeow attended the Wuhan University International Conference on Chinese-Style Democratization in November 2009. About 80 well-known scholars on China participated. The conference discussed the different ways in which the Chinese think about "democratization," especially compared to Western liberal democrats. According to Professor Ogden, "Chinese thinking is shaped by a variety contextual and historical factors, which make it virtually impossible for them to see multiparty democracy and one-man-one-vote national-level elections in the same way we do. It was a fascinating conference, and we are deeply indebted to the CEM for partial travel support  through the BIE grant."
