Instruction

Call for Submissions

Special Section on Confucius
Institute of China Media Research

China Media Research (CMR-2014-01) invites scholars from across
disciplines to address the timely issue of Confucius Institute (CI) within
ideological, political, and cultural contexts. We welcome papers that
enhance understanding of Confucius Institute from critical, qualitative,
or social scientific perspectives. Topics can include, but are not limited
to, such issues as Hanban's vision, the planning and management of CI,
CI's reception in the American academic community, the perception of CI
students and their perceived connection to China, and the role of CI in
China's overall campaign to exert its influence abroad.

Submissions must not have been previously published nor be under
consideration by another publication. We will accept extended abstracts
(up to 1,000 words) or complete papers at the first stage of the reviewing
process. All the submissions must be received by May 25, 2013. If the
extended abstract is accepted, the complete manuscript must be received by
August 20, 2013. Complete manuscripts should be prepared in accordance
with APA publication manual (6th edition) and should not exceed 8,000
words including tables and references. All manuscripts will be reviewed
and the authors will be notified of final acceptance/rejection decision.
