The 16th Annual Meeting of the Association of Chinese Political Studies to Be Held on April 4-5, 200

The Association of Chinese Political Studies (ACPS) is going to hold its 16^th annual meeting “CHINA AFTER JIANG ZEMIN” on April 4-5, 2003 at University of Tennessee-Knoxville in Knoxville, Tennessee. Topics on China’s reform and transition, domestic politics, foreign policy, China-US relations, cross-Taiwan Strait relations, and other related subjects are all welcome. As in the past, ACPS hopes to select some papers to publish a volume after the conference.

ACPS will provide lodging (two per room) up to three nights at downtown Knoxville Hilton and four meals (two lunches and two dinners). A $30 registration fee, however, is required (which will be used to cover the meals and trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Cherokee). For more information, please contact
