June 3-4, 2010, Hong Kong.
An International Conference organized by:
Hong Kong Baptist University, Department of Government and International Studies,
Asia Centre and
French Centre for Research on Contemporary China, Hong Kong.
While the violent tremors of the global financial crisis seem now to dissipate, and as dust has started settling, it is time to revisit the 2007-2008 events, look back at the changes in the global and financial system brought by the crisis and assess the new status acquired by China.
Simultaneously, in order to better comprehend China’s responses, it is appropriate to compare them with what other economies or group of economies have done to deal with the global financial crisis. In this conference, we have chosen to compare China with the European Union because this exercise has not attracted as much attention as the China-United States comparison. While the fever around the G2 mirage remains pretty high, it seems more appropriate to measure and forecast the future role played by China in the global financial system in view of the EU’s, the world largest economic entity and another key member of the G20 group that has attempted since late 2008 to coordinate the major economies’ responses to this new global financial crisis...

The conference ambitions to address the following issues:
- Outcomes and efficiency of the “stimulus package” to support a sustainable economic recovery;
- Switching from the export-led growth strategy to a demand-led growth model, a transition accompanied by a gradual financial liberalisation;
- « Clusterization » of the main regional economies, with the risks of renewed protectionism;
- « Awakening » of the China domestic market, and its potential role in the Chinese switch to a new model of growth;
- Increasing international role of the Chinese currency, either through steps towards convertibility or through diverted measures designed at broadening its role (bilateral agreements, dealing with HKMA);
- China’s regional role, in particular with respect to its dialogue with the new Japanese government and its positioning towards South East Asia;
- Going global: the growth of Chinese FDI: from “defensive-strategic” investments towards assets and market shares seeking;
Analyzing the European Union (EU)’s reactions to the global crisis, its proposed solutions, and its chosen policies brings in a useful comparative dimension to the conference. In many ways, the EU’s responses to the global financial crisis have been different from China’s. The EU’s high unemployment rate, the segmentation of its own economic space as well as its financial and banking institutions, the large disparities among the European economies, in particular between Western and Eastern European economies, are among the main factors explaining these differences. Nevertheless, solutions have been partly similar: boosting the national economy and production to the detriment of imports, temptation of protectionism and consolidation of the banking system.
The objective of this conference is to bring together university experts and professionals to debate about these themes in a two day conference format.
Written papers will be asked to each invited speaker at least two weeks before the conference.
The conference contributions will be published in an edited book in Hong Kong or overseas. Leading publishers will be approached in due time by the organisers.
Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th October 2009, Brussels
Asia Centre at Sciences Po and the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), in partnership with the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations (CICIR), co-organize the 4th session of the Sino-European Strategic Dialogue, an informal and high level event. The dialogue is also sponsored by the Direction de la Prospective of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Directorate General for External Relations of the European Commission.
The goal of the dialogue is to enhance mutual understanding of strategic issues by bringing together Chinese and European experts of international relations and security issues, as well as public officials in their personal capacity. In this dialogue, we are focusing specifically on fostering interaction between Chinese colleagues and Europe’s three largest member states – France, Germany and the United Kingdom – as well as with the EU Brussels institutions...

Technological innovation is key. Long the preserve of developed countries, it is now being masterfully integrated into the format of “emerging growth” The two presentations will help evaluate the ways of understanding the issue and the likelihood of emerging countries catching up with the developed world.
The question of technological innovation will first be approached from the comprehensive angle of industrial policy and large-scale scientific projects, then will be discussed more concretely through the case of the electric car industry in China. Two preeminent European experts, Philippe Lebrun, from the European Organization for Nuclear Research, and Joël Ruet, Economist at the CNRS, will present us their work on the issue.

The new strategic and security issues in East Asia and the Middle East
2-3 July 2007, Tokyo. This dialogue, with scholars and participants from the French Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence and their Japanese counterparts, considered from a variety of angles North Korea and the security of North-East Asia, the situation of China and its relations with Japan and the United States, the rise of India and its influence over Asia as well as stability in the Middle East. Lastly, France’s Asia policy was the subject of a paper...
With the following Japanese participants: S. Tomoda, C. Kokubo and Y. Nikaido (JIIA), T. Kikuchi and S. Takagi (Aoyama Gakuin U.), Amb. H. Hirabayashi, H. Kurata (Kyorin U.), K. Suetsugu (Asia Pacific Energy Forum), K Tanaka (JIME-Center), A. Takahara (Tokyo U.) and French participants: M. Duchâtel, G. Delamotte and F. Godement (Asia Centre), P. Levy and M. Lafont-Rapnouil (CAP), P. Le Corre and I. St-Mézard (DAS).
North East Asia is by far the most significant economic area within Asia, in GDP, financial or technological terms. Japan’s industrial firms have remained at the cutting edge of global competition, with some large Korean groups joining them. China’s economic rise is unparalleled at the beginning of the 21st century. The three countries exercise a powerful influence in most areas of soft power over the Asia-Pacific. “Reform” – understood differently and covering different agendas – is the key word in China, Japan and Korea, as it was at the end of the 19th century in Japan with the beginning of the Meiji era.
Yet historical, political and strategic obstacles of a wide and long lasting variety prevent the emergence of a full-fledged regional cooperation in North-East Asia. To come to terms with the Pacific War and its aftermath, all parties must get involved in a critical work on history and settle territorial disputes. Political regime differences with respect to the role of public opinion, the nature of education and information, the perceived legitimacy and role of domestic factors in foreign policy constitute obstacles to an improved understanding between societies. Huge imbalances in levels of development, a growing apprehension over natural resources, mutual economic fears, and uncertainty about the relative status of the region’s key countries in the near future contribute to misunderstandings.
All of the above themes of deep concern for Japan’s future deserve to be treated with utmost attention to different judgments and interpretations. European scholars have quarrelled more than most in the past on similar historical themes and on the policies of Europe’s nation-states. But they have also, in the last half-century, contributed their share to a process of reconciliation and to a better understanding of national issues and interests, leading to regional cooperation and a process of European-wide integration. Today, scholars from the main countries of North-East Asia face a similar agenda and welcome the debate with their French and European counterparts.
15-16 Jan. 2007, Paris. With European support (GMF and the KAS) and French support (CAP). This high-level meeting on Western policies towards China brings together every 18 months members of the China Policy Program (GWU) and European and Asian experts as well as officials from Asia and those dealing with regional questions in the countries concerned...

2-4 June 2006 /1 June 2007, Singapore. F. Godement participates regularly in the "East Asia Security Summit" which was established in 2002 under the sponsorship of the IISS . These summits, better known as the Shangri-La Dialogue, bring together in Singapore virtually all Asia-Pacific Defence Ministers and some of their European counterparts. Combining as it does both plenary sessions and less formal workshops, the Shangri-La Dialogue has become a privileged mechanism for discussion and analysis of security matters. In 2007, after years of maintaining a cautious distance, China sent as its delegate General Zhang Qinsheng, Deputy Chief of Staff of the PLA.
The new strategic balance in North-East Asia
28-29 Sept. 2006, Paris. With the support of the DAS (MinDef) and the DGCID (MoFa).
At a time of change of government in Tokyo and new tensions in the Korean peninsula with the announcement of a nuclear test, both these questions took on a particular importance.
Asia Centre, in partnership with the JIIA and in cooperation with the IHEDN, brought together at the Ecole Militaire a panel of experts and top ranking politicians from Japan, France and Europe. These included the former Minister for Foreign Affairs, Koji Kakizawa, the directors of IHEDN, V.A. François Dupont, and JIIA, Makio Miyagawa, the chairman of the Board of IISS, F. Heisbourg, and FRS director G. Schlumberger. The question of a new strategic balances in North-East Asia was considered from the perspectives of military modernisation and China’s strategic stance, Sino-Japanese relations (cooperation and strategic interests) and from a sense of history’s legacy and how to overcome it. The exchange ended with a roundtable on the roles of North-East Asia in the Community of East Asia...
With the following Japanese participants: Takashi Kawakami (U. Takushoku), Tsutomu Kikuchi and Seiichirô Takagi (U. Aoyama Gakuin), Tsutomu Ôkawa (Japanese Embassy in China), Katsuhiko Suetsugu (Asia Pacific Energy Forum) and European participants: C. W. Hughes (U. Warwick) R. Dujarric (NIPS /JIIA), J-M.

Briens (CAP).
28-29 Feb. 2006, Beijing. The strategic dimension of the Sino-European relation, which has been fostered since 2004, has resulted in a good number of dialogues. In 2006, Asia Centre in Paris, the CER in London and DGAP in Berlin, as well as CASS in Beijing and other Chinese think tanks, decided to look at certain strategic questions for their potential to stimulate cooperation, beyond short-time issues such as trade conflict or the arms embargo. Energy and the environment, development, global governance and the fight against proliferation have been on the agenda of this working group...
Chinese participants: Chen Shuxun (CRF), Cui Zhiyuan (Tsinghua U.), Feng Zhongping (CICIR), Gao Shixian (NDRC), Gu Guoliang, Huang Ping, Pan Jiahua and Zhou Hong (CASS), Pan Zhenqiang (NDU), Xing Hua (CIIS); European participants: F. Godement, C. Grant and M. Leonard (CER), E. Sandschneider (DGAP) and A. Small (GMF)
The 6th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) and the 9th EU-China Summit both take pace in Helsinki in September. Several bilateral and multilateral informal dialogues have focused on the strategic dimension of the Sino-European dialogue since it has become a goal for both sides in 2004.
In 2006, Asia Centre in Paris, the CER (Center for European Reform) in London and the DGAP (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Auswärtige Politik) in Berlin, as well as the CASS (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences) in Beijing and other Chinese think tanks, have worked together on long-term strategic issues that are contentious but have the potential to foster fruitful co-operation, beyond short-term questions such as trade disputes or the EU arms embargo on China.
The available “EU-China Compact*” is designed to set out a concrete agenda for co-operation, by concentrating on some of the most important issues of concern on the international agenda – global and regional governance, development, energy and non-proliferation.
* This document draws on the ideas that emerged from our discussions, but we have not asked individual researchers or the institutions they represent to sign up to all its recommendations.
Organised on a regular basis by the INPR (Taiwan) in partnership with Asia Centre (Paris), the CSIS (Hawaï) and the ISDS (Manila)...
