First China-India-US Symposium: Exploring the Patterns of Development and Governance

We initiate an annual symposium series by scholars in China, India, and the United States to dissect the various issues under the general theme, thereby the title of the proposed series, of: "Exploring the Patterns of Development and Governance.” This theme allows broad enough coverage for scholars from different but related academic disciplines; the theme also implies something that is specific enough for focused discussion of economic development, political reform, political economy, as well as other and related general governance issues in law, sociology, and public administration.
