Global Governance:

Cross-Cultural Communication and Values Consensus

December 27-28, 2019

Conference Program

Theme

In the age of globalization, global governance has been put on the agenda. Many common challenges must be thought and solved through global governance. However, different countries have different opinions on how to conduct global governance. Although there have been some achievements in this regard since the second half of the 20th century, there are still serious differences in fundamental issues. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the needs for the reform of global governance have been growing. Many questions have arisen: How to improve the global governance effectively? What are the basic values of global governance? Can different values of different countries and different cultures achieve a mutual respect based on equality? How to build consensus among differences? The discussion of these issues requires an international perspective and dialogue among scholars from different cultural backgrounds. With the theme of "Global Governance: Cross-cultural Communication and Value Consensus", this conference will provide a platform of communication and conversation for scholars with different perspectives.

The following issues will be focused during the conferences:

1. Global issues related to global governance

2. Cross-cultural communication and dialogue

3. Value consensus and building a community with a shared future for humankind
