From the beginning, this programme has assumed a Chinese perspective in its collaborative scholarly efforts with other comparatists. Its activities dovetail very well with the stated aims of the University in its dedication to ‘both traditional Chinese scholarship and modern Western scholarship, and to the synthesis of the two’. To this end, the programme aims at establishing contact with comparatists from the world over in order to explore areas of mutual interest.
