Nixon in China: A Legacy Revisited
A conference co-sponsored by the Burkle Center for International Relations and the Center for Chinese Studies.
When:
February 23, 2012 10:30am to 4:30pm
Where
About the Conference:
The conference will commemorate the 40th anniversary of President Nixon’s historic visit to Beijing and Shanghai and his meetings with Chairman Mao. This visit was an electrifying event at the time, and had enormous repercussions in the ensuing decades for US-China relations and for the international order generally. That conference will assess both these elements: the significance for domestic and international politics in the 1970s as well as the enduring legacies for our world today. We will seek to answer important questions such as assessing the evolution of US-China relations, whether Nixon’s visit and the subsequent normalization of relationships influenced future developments; we will also explore the legacy of the summit and the status of current and future US-China relations.
The Speakers:
Richard Solomon, President of the United States Institute of Peace, will be our keynote speaker. He will be interviewed by James Mann, author-in-residence at the Foreign Policy Institute, Johns Hopkins University. Other conference participants include Richard Baum, Professor Emeritus of Chinese politics at UCLA; Burkle Center Senior Fellow Gen. Wesley Clark; Cornell University’s Chair of History for US China Relations, Chen Jian; New America Foundation Senior Research Fellow Tim Naftali; Minxin Pei, Director of the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at Claremont McKenna College and Susan Shirk, Director of the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation.

Registration is required, and will open at noon on January 17 on the Burkle Center website.
