STUDENT AWARD CONTEST - UNIVERSITY STUDENTS 

AUTUMN 2009 AWARD: CHINA'S ROLE AS AN ECONOMIC SUPERPOWER

The Center for International Relations announces our latest Student Award Contest:

China's developing role as an economic superpower - China's developing role as an economic superpower? Some analysts are discussing China in terms of a growing superpower, especially in economic terms, much in the way Japan was once considered on its way towards superpower status in the 1980s with its huge GDP, population size and its high economic growth during this period. This accession to superpower status was not to be realised for Japan...will China have experience the same fate? Discuss China's current standing in economic terms and the 'prospects' of its potential for being a superpower?

Essays should be between 750 and 2500 words, excluding footnotes.

First Prize $1,000
Second Prize $500
Third Prize $250

Prizes will be awarded for the best essays as judged by IA-Forum Editorial staff and a distinguished panel of judges. Winners and finalists will be considered for publication on IA-Forum.

Please read additional contest rules before applying. Use award research tips for links to organizations and books listings that can help start your paper.

The deadline for this contest is Friday, January 29, 2010, midnight EST.

Please contact editor@ia-forum.org regarding questions about the award.
