The CEA (UK) was launched in 1988 and has since become one of the leading organisations in Europe promoting research on China. Its past annual conferences have attracted wide-ranging attention from academic institutions, government organisations, banks and industries, alongside the media in the UK and China. Prominent speakers have included ministers from the Chinese and British governments, the Chinese ambassadors, and eminent academic figures of international repute including Nobel laureates of economic sciences. Papers from these conferences have been published in leading economics and business journals, edited books and the CEA (UK)’s official journal, the Journal of Chinese Economic and Business Studies, published by Taylor & Francis. CEA (Europe) was established in 2009 as a major expansion of CEA (UK). It is a non-profit and independent legal entity. The main objective of the CEA (Europe) is to promote scholarly exchanges and encourage academic leadership on Chinese economic and business studies in Europe.
