《会展管理》专刊征稿函

‘Event Management in the Chinese Century’

中国世纪的会展管理

Changes in political economy, the rise of emerging economies outside of the

traditionally USA-dominated trans-Atlantic region and the globalisation of culture enabled by

democratised technological channels, have led to profound shifts in the balance of the global

economy. Attempting to explain this geopolitical shift, commentators and academics have

introduced terms such as the ‘Chinese Century’ (Beckley, 2012; Brands, 2018; Hartley, 2008;

Hongling, 2015; Pan, 2013; Stiglitz, 2015), the ‘Pacific Century’ (Borthwick, 2018; Scott,

2008) and the ‘Asian Century’ (Atonopoulos, 2017; Morrison, 2014). Taken together, these

terms describe the move towards a world economy centred increasingly on the Asia-Pacific

region, where emerging and resurgent economies are coming to play a more assertive role in

the development of international trade, public diplomacy and security. In particular, the

People’s Republic of China (PRC) has recently become the 2nd largest economy in the world,

and is poised to become the world’s largest economy by 2030 (Kennedy, 2018).

政治经济上的变革，传统上以美国为主导的跨大西洋地区以外的新兴经济体的崛

起以及技术渠道推动的文化全球化，正在导致全球经济平衡的历史性的深刻转移。为

了解释这种地缘政治转变，一些评论员和学者引入了诸如“中国世纪”（贝克雷，

2012；波兰兹，2018；哈特雷，2008；红岭，2015；潘，2013；斯蒂格利茨，2015）

之类的术语。（博思威克，2018; 斯科特，2008）和“亚洲世纪”（安东诺普洛斯，

2017; 莫里森，2014）的术语来描述这一历史现象。总之，这些术语描述了世界经济朝

着以亚太地区为中心转移的趋势，在亚太地区，新兴经济体和复兴经济体正在国际贸

1
易、公共外交和安全领域中扮演更为自信的角色。特别是，中国最近已成为世界第二

大经济体，并有望在 2030 年成为世界第一大经济体（肯尼迪，2018）。

There has been a rapid, recent growth in events management education in the Asia-

Pacific region. Large numbers of students from across this region now study abroad in the

institutions that have dominated events management research in the UK, Australia and the

USA, and competition to recruit these students is fierce. Increasing numbers of papers are

being published in international journals by academics from institutions across the Asia-

Pacific, and a new generation of events management academics from the region can now be

found working in universities all over the world.

最近，亚太地区的会展管理教育增长迅猛。现在，来自该地区的大量学生在英

国、澳大利亚和美国的会展管理研究主流高校学习，并且高校间围绕招收这些学生的

竞争也日益激烈。亚太地区高校和研究机构的学者正在国际期刊上发表越来越多的论

文，而如今来自该地区的新一代会展管理学者正在全世界的大学中开展工作。

The aim of this special issue is to consider the impact of these macro-level changes on

the events industry and research into events, and to help to address a geographical, but also an

ideological and cultural, imbalance in events management research, which has tended to focus

on the traditionally dominant global economies of North America, Western Europe and

Australasia (Kim & Kaewnuch, 2018; Robertson et al., 2018; Spracklen & Lamond, 2016).

Recent research has begun to engage with this new context in areas as diverse as education

(Werner et al, 2018), events and public diplomacy (Wang, 2018), regional development

(Hussain, et al., 2018), the growth of the Chinese events industry (Liu & Lou, 2018) and mega

events (Liang, et al., 2016).

2
 本期专刊旨在思考这些宏观层面的变化对会展行业和会展研究的影响，并帮助

解决会展管理研究中的地域、意识形态和文化方面存在的失衡问题，长期以来国际会

展管理研究倾向聚焦北美、西欧和大洋洲等传统上占全球主导地位的经济体（金和凯

努，2018; 罗伯逊等，2018; 斯普拉克伦和＆拉蒙德，2016）。在这新的背景下，最近

会展研究已开始向会展教育（维尔纳等人，2018）、会展和公共外交（王，2018）、

会展区域发展（侯赛因等人，2018）、中国会展业增长（刘＆罗，2018）和大型会展

活动（梁等，2016）等多元领域拓展。

The implications of these, and related developments for research and practice have yet

to be comprehensively studied in events management, despite having been a focus of attention

in the related fields of tourism and hospitality, and in other academic areas. This special issue

aims to address this by becoming a reference point for future scholarship in events management

and events studies which engage with this topic.

尽管已成为旅游和酒店业以及其他学术领域的关注焦点，但是上述问题现象以

及相关研究和实践的发展仍然有必要在会展管理领域得到更加全面的研究。本期专刊

通过成为将来会展学者和会展研究开展中国会展相关研究所必须参考的点来推动对中

国会展管理的全方位研究。

Peer review

同行评审

This journal operates a double-blind review process. All contributions will be initially assessed

by the editor for suitability for Event Management. Papers deemed suitable are then typically

sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the

paper. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of

articles. The Editor’s decision is final. This journal uses double-blind review, which means the

identities of the authors are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa.

该期刊进行双盲评审。编辑将首先评估所有提交论文的期刊适用性，然后适合本刊的

论文发将被发送给至少两名独立的专家审稿人，以评估论文的科学质量。编辑对有关

文章接受或拒绝的最终决定负责。编辑的决定是最终决定。该杂志使用双盲审阅，这

意味着作者的身份对审阅者是隐藏的，反之亦然。
