Previous activities
The first ECARDC meeting was held at Aarhus University, Denmark in 1989. Since then conferences have been organised in Leiden (twice), Giessen, Manchester, Paris, London, Yiwu (China) and Leeds. The next conference will be held at Aarhus from 8-10 April 2011. The conferences have resulted in edited volumes of selected papers that were well-received in scholarly circles, such as:
Peter Ho, Jacob Eyferth, and Eduard B. Vermeer (eds.)
Rural Development in Transitional China: The New Agriculture, (London: Frank Cass Publications, 2003) also published as a special issue of The Journal of Peasant Studies
Flemming Christiansen and Junzuo Zhang (ed.)
