國立政治大學 國際關係研究中心

第三屆「理解中國統戰」研究與寫作工作坊論文徵稿

主題：第三屆「理解中國統戰」研究與寫作工作坊

日期：2023年7月29日、2023年12月1日

地點：國立政治大學國際關係研究中心

配合國際關係研究中心成立70週年，現正籌備第三屆「統戰工作坊」，誠邀相關專家學者投稿參與，成果將以專刊形式於本中心期刊《中國大陸研究》（TSSCI）或英文期刊Issues & Studies（Scopus）出版。

中國正持續向全球範圍輸出其政經影響力，對於香港、澳門、臺灣的統戰工作當然是其中的重點，但習近平治理下的「大統戰」工作並不限於這三個目標，其它包括公開的影響力工程，諸如「一帶一路」、孔子學院等大型合作計劃，也有更隱蔽地透過對他國媒體、宗教組織、僑社等對象進行的工作，以及針對一般社群媒體的「大外宣」、對非政府組織進行的「銳實力」作為、和針對各國政府與國會進行的「戰狼外交」等等。但如何理解此一複雜、多層次、跨領域的現象，更有系統的方法、更具有說服力的理論、以及最新的研究工具例如文字探勘與數位人文的視角，都已經在過去的工作坊中呈現，我們非常期待在疫情慢慢告一段落之後，會更多豐富的成果展現。

承接過去兩屆「統戰工作坊」，除了因為疫情停辦一段時間，期間兩本專刊與多篇論文已經順利出版，國關中心將繼續邀請專精於相關議題或研究方法的國際級學者主持本屆研究工作坊，除分享其研究心得與成果，並主持「教學工作坊」為年輕學者與學生開路，分享研究心得與指導研究設計。本次工作坊計劃在7月與12月分別舉行，盛邀相關社會科學或人文學者、青年學子撰文參加。我們預計在提交的摘要中擇優選出約8-10篇論文，依議題和方法分成兩個主題，分別於兩場研究工作坊發表。特邀學者將在入選稿件確定之後，按照主題與研究方法來邀請，對入選論文進行寫作指導。

徵稿主題範圍：

1. 港澳台辦、僑辦、漢辦、孔子學院等涉外機構之研究；
2. 針對九種統戰對象的研究：民主黨派、民族宗教人士、港澳台、幹部、商人、知識分子、西藏、新的社會階層人士、與新疆；
3. 中共中央統戰部、省市地方統戰工作、民間與海外統戰組織等之研究；
4. 有關中共處理民族與宗教問題的相關研究；尤其歡迎從跨國與國家間比較視角的研究；
5. 從統戰或是銳實力角度理解「一帶一路」沿線國家與中國關係的相關案例；
6. 智庫、媒體、出版等與社群經營；「大外宣」或「話語權爭奪」相關之議題；
7. 理解中國國際影響力的資料處理、田野調查、計量工具等方法論上的探討。

摘要截止日期：2023年4月30日。中英文撰寫皆可，字數約在300至800字間。來稿請同時附上個人簡歷，寄送至：cyhung@nccu.edu.tw，姜小姐。錄取結果預計於2023年5月10日前公告。

CALL FOR PAPERS

3rd Annual Research and Writing Workshops for

Chinese United Front Work

Dates: July 29 and December 1s, 2023

Place: The Institute of International Relations, National Chengchi University, Taipei, Taiwan

For celebrating the Institute of International Relations (IIR)’s 70th anniversary, IIR is currently calling for papers that examine the issues of Chinese united front work (tongzhàn) and sharp power. Successful submissions will be presented in one of our workshops and may be invited to be reviewed for publication in the special issue of our quarterly journal, Mainland China Studies (TSSCI) or Issues & Studies (SCOPUS).

The Chinese Communist Party under Xi Jinping’s command has exerted significant global influences by exploiting transnational cooperation projects like Confucius Institute or the “one belt one road” scheme and by manipulating media, religious, and oversea Chinese agencies via the so-called “grand united front work” and/or “grand propaganda” platform. These cases and incidents have provoked concerns in many societies, which involve multi-level, multi-dimensional and cross-disciplinary issues. Understanding these complex issues should be and has been critical to academic researchers and policy-makers; however, the discussion of valid research methods is scarce and the development of useful theories is limited.

Based on the encouraging results from the first two workshops held in 2018 and 2019, which have produced two special issues of Mainland China Studies and few research articles on Issues & Studies, IIR plans to continue to hold the 3rd workshop series on Summer and Winter this year, where we invite experienced scholars to present papers in research panels and hold separate writing panels for junior researchers and students who are interested in studying Chinese united front. 

Proposed Topics:

1. Issues related to Overseas Chinese Offices, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs Offices, Hanban, Confucius Institutes and other offices dealing with overseas affairs;
2. Studies on the nine UFW ‘targets’:  Chinese democrats, religious and ethnic minorities, Hong Kong-Macao-Taiwan residents, bureaucrats, businessmen, intellectuals, Tibetans, Uyghurs, and the ‘New Social Stratum’;
3. Studies on CCP’s Central United Front Work Department, provincial and local united front work activities, and their social and overseas organs;
4. History, policy, regulations, institutions of religious and ethnic affairs; domestically, transnationally, or comparatively (broadly defined);
5. Understanding bilateral relationships between China and ‘one-belt-one-road’ countries through the concepts of united front work or sharp power;
6. Studies on think tanks, social media, publications, or subjects related to agenda setting, public opinion management, CCP’s ‘Grand Foreign Propaganda’ (da wai xuan); or the ‘struggle for the power of discourse’ (huayu quan zheng duo).
7. Methods and methodology behind processing qualitative or quantitative data on China’s foreign influence operations.

Deadline to submit abstracts: April 30. 2023. The abstract should be between 300 and 800 words. Please include a brief c.v. and send them to Ms. Chiang (cyhung@nccu.edu.tw). We will announce the result before May 10.

Deadline to submit the full paper: July 20, 2023. The paper should be between 7000 and 10000 words in English, or 10000 to 25000 words in Chinese. English format guides please see: https://reurl.cc/V8NonR. MCS please refer to https://reurl.cc/6N7RGO. 

Live+ Workshops: July 29 and December 1, 2023. Depending on topics, authors will be assigned into two workshops and IIR will invite internationally recognized scholars to host these events and provide constructive feedbacks for manuscript revision. In-person participation is preferred, but on-line presentation can be arranged. Workshop dates are tentative and will be confirmed after May 10.
