The publication of The Voice from China: An CHEN on International Economic Law represents a landmark development in the discourse of international economic law. As a matter of fact, it is the single most important book on the New International Economic Order (NIEL) published in recent years. This enormous book, featuring almost 800 pages, is a collection of 24 representative articles selected from the voluminous scholarship authored by Professor An Chen that spanned the past 30 years. This English monograph has successfully won the support from the Chinese Academic Foreign Translation Project (CAFTP), making itself the first of such kind within the academic circle of International Economic Law in China. According to the official specifications from the National Social Science Fund of China (NSSFC), CAFTP is one of the major categories of projects set by the NSSFC and approved by the National Philosophy and Social Science Planning Leading Group of China in 2010. This Project aims to promote Sino-foreign academic exchanges, and to facilitate the outstanding works as well as prominent scholars in the field of philosophy and social science towards the world’s academic stage. For this purpose, a major part of such funding is allocated to sponsor the aforesaid achievements to be published in foreign language through authoritative publishers abroad. It is expected that, by such way of accessing and participating in foreign mainstream distribution channels, foreigners could have a better understanding of contemporary China, its philosophy and social sciences and its traditional culture. It is also expected that Sino-foreign academic exchange and dialogue would hence be more active, and the overseas influence of Chinese philosophy and social science would be enhanced. |
