4、题目： East/ West - different histories , but common challenges and common future? 5、摘要：This talk will look at the core challenges problems confronting China and the West. It is the consensus among Western leaders that China needs to democratize. I look at the deep crises presently confronting Western democracies today and then argue that the issue of democratization is really a red herring, that although their are serious challenges intrinsic to China's economic development, there are other problems confronting China and the West today of a very similar order. That is to say, there are common global challenges, even though the different historical backgrounds of China and the West means they are differently positioned today to confront them. I conclude by arguing that the challenges understandably force peoples to consider what resources from their past may help them make a better future,at the same time emphasising that the future can never be simply modeled on the past. My emphasis is upon the importance of reimagined divers historical cultural resources which need to be accessed as we must build transnational communities.
