This conference is organised in the context of the LLM programme 'Law
and Politics in International Security' of the Faculty of Law and the
Faculty of Social Sciences of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. This
multi-disciplinary programme aims to provide students an understanding
of international law in a political context, and of world politics
with solid knowledge of international legal institutions.

The topic of the conference reflects the aim of the programme, the
current and future dominant position of China in international
relations, and the need to understand more about China in order to
co-operate more effectively.

We look forward to welcoming you to our conference! Please make sure
