The 2025 China in the World Forum (CIW Forum) will bring together international scholars to examine inequality in all its forms in contemporary China and state responses under the rubric of “common prosperity”. The 2025 China in the World Forum invites submissions of original papers on the following topics:
- Economic and industrial policy
- Rural revitalisation
- Taxation and income redistribution
- Social policies, welfare and social security

- Philanthropy and charity
We welcome scholars who are interested in participating in the 2025 CIW Forum to submit a 300-word abstract, and a brief CV on the Google form before 5pm (Canberra time), 31 January 2025.
