Call for Papers Theme: Social Development of Humanity from the Perspective of Multiculturalism Type: International Conference Institution: Nanchang University Location: Nanchang (China) Date: 25.–26.7.2020 Deadline: 15.4.2020 __________________________________________________ Theme Since the birth of culture in the world of human existence, there have always been many types of classifications, and differences between one culture and another. Even in the same historical era, different cultural types emerged in different geographical areas. Multiculturalism is important for different cultural carriers to characterize their own people, country or nation. Although different cultural types have their own characteristics, there have been always cultural exchange and cooperation in the process of cultural development. No culture can be isolated from other cultures, because diverse cultures are interacting and cooperating within a large system of the world culture. The process of cultural development is open and dynamic, without communication and cooperation with external cultures, it is impossible to achieve one’s own growth. The history of the development of world culture is the history of exchanges among different and diverse cultures. With the acceleration and deepening of economic globalization, the popularization and utilization of modern science and technology has enabled cultural exchanges to be much broader and more frequent. The rapid development of the Internet has made peoples around the world either passively or actively engage in the process of globalization in various aspects. There exists not only a communication between traditional and advanced cultures, but also the conflict between local and foreign cultures. We are facing many challenges in such a process, especially in the human social development. There might be conflicts when cultures and peoples encounter one another partly due to their differences. However, this could be also a learning process to understand each other better. Thus it is necessary to examine the issue of human social development from a multicultural perspective. The conference will focus the following sub-themes: 1. Cultural exchanges and construction of a community of shared human destiny 2. Justice and human social development 3. Non-traditional security and international cooperation 4. Global ecological crisis and responses and strategies 5. Multiculturalism and globalization 6.
