Italian Association for Chinese Studies. Selected Papers 3, 2020

The research presented during the 16th Conference of the Italian Association of Chinese Studies (AISC), held on 23rd and 24th September 2017 at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, reflects manifold and complex problems investigated from different perspectives. The third volume of Selected Papers of AISC groups together 13 of a larger number of papers presented by the members of the Association in Milan. It shows a renewed momentum in Chinese studies, which sees increasing consideration being given to the Chinese point of view and a continuous dialogue with Chinese researchers through interaction with the international community of scholars. This volume has adopted the method of double-blind peer review. All manuscripts have been accepted after a rigorous peer reviewed process.
