一、主题阐释
“宇宙只有一个地球，人类共有一个家园。”中国国家主席习近平同志2017年1月18日在联合国日内瓦总部发表演讲，呼吁共同构建人类命运共同体。他指出：“人类正处在大发展大变革大调整时期。世界多极化、经济全球化深入发展，社会信息化、文化多样化持续推进，新一轮科技革命和产业革命正在孕育成长，各国相互联系、相互依存，全球命运与共、休戚相关，和平力量的上升远远超过战争因素的增长，和平、发展、合作、共赢的时代潮流更加强劲。同时，人类也正处在一个挑战层出不穷、风险日益增多的时代。世界经济增长乏力，金融危机阴云不散，发展鸿沟日益突出，兵戎相见时有发生，冷战思维和强权政治阴魂不散，恐怖主义、难民危机、重大传染性疾病、气候变化等非传统安全威胁持续蔓延。”如何把握世界大势，抓住和平与发展的机遇，应对各种风险和挑战？这是全人类共同面临的时代课题。
“加强全球治理，推进全球治理体制变革”；“构建人类命运共同体，实现共赢共享”。这是中国的方案，也是世界人民的期待。国际社会应从伙伴关系、安全格局、经济发展、文明交流、生态建设等方面作出努力。坚持对话协商，建设一个持久和平的世界；坚持共建共享，建设一个普遍安全的世界；坚持合作共赢，建设一个共同繁荣的世界；坚持交流互鉴，建设一个开放包容的世界；坚持绿色低碳，建设一个清洁美丽的世界。
构建人类命运共同体是一个美好的目标，也是一个世界各国人民勠力同心、奋力拼搏才能实现的目标。我们期待与海内外学者、各国政府代表、全球性国际组织代表围绕“人类命运共同体与全球治理”进行广泛而深入探讨，为推进构建人类命运共同体的伟大进程贡献智慧。本次论坛的主要议题有：
1、当前全球化的新态势、新特征研究；
2、逆全球化思潮与全球治理新挑战研究；
3、全球治理变局与全球治理体制变革研究；
4、人类命运共同体的目标形态及基本特征研究；
5、人类命运共同体的构建与全球治理现代化研究；
6、人类命运共同体与民族文化多样性研究；
7、人类命运共同体构建与国家责任研究。
二、论文要求

The fourth East Lake Forum on Global Governance themed as “Human Destiny Community and Global Governance” will be held in Wuhan East lake Hotel in mid-November 2018. It has been held consecutively for three times since 2015. Now this forum is calling for papers worldwide.
I. Thematic Interpretation
Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered in a speech at the UN headquarters in Geneva on January 18, 2017, “Only one Earth in the universe, and humankind shares a same home” which called for a common community of human destiny. He pointed out: "Human beings are in a period of major development, major changes, and major adjustments. The world is undergoing multi-polarization, economic globalization is developing in depth, and social information and cultural diversity are continuing to advance. A new round of scientific and technological revolutions and industrial revolutions are growing. Interconnected and interdependent with each other, countries in the world share common destiny. The rise of peace forces far exceeds the growth of war factors, and the trend of peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit has become stronger. At the same time, humanity is also facing an endless stream of challenges. In an era of increasing risk, sluggish world economy, lingering financial crisis and increasingly prominent development gap, countries are appealing to arms from time to time. The Cold War mentality and power politics are lingering. Non-traditional security threats such as terrorism, refugee crises, major infectious diseases, and climate change problems continue to spread.” How to grasp the world trend, seize the opportunity of peace and development, and deal with various risks and challenges remain an era issue facing all humanity.
"Strengthening the global governance to promote the reform of the global governance system," and "building a community of human destiny to achieve shared benefits" are not only China's plans but also the expectation of the people of the world. The international community should make efforts in areas such as partnerships, security patterns, economic development, cultural exchanges, and ecological construction. Adhere to dialogues and consultations to build a world of lasting peace; adhere to co-construction and sharing to build a world enjoyed universal safety; adhere to win-win cooperation to build a common and prosperous world; insist on exchanges and mutual understanding to build an open and inclusive world; Adhere to green and low-carbon development to build a clean and beautiful world.
Building a community of human destiny is a good goal that all peoples in the world can work together to achieve. We look forward to conducting extensive and in-depth discussions with scholars at home and abroad, representatives of governments of various countries, and representatives of global organizations around the world on "human destiny community and global governance," and contributing wisdom to the great process of building a community of human destiny. The main topics of this forum are as follows:
1. Current research on new trends and new features of globalization;
2. Research on the counter-globalization trends and new challenges in global governance;
3. Changes in global governance and changes in the global governance system;
4. Research on the target form and basic characteristics of the human destiny community;
5. Construction of human destiny community and the study of global governance modernization.
6. Diversity research on human destiny community and national cultural;
7. Construction of human destiny community and the study of state responsibility.

Wuhan is the capital city of Hubei Province and the largest city in central China. The Yangtze River and Han River pass through the city and divide Wuhan into Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang towns, hence the name “Jiangcheng”; Wuhan is known as “the city of hundreds of lakes” and has the world’s largest city lake—East Lake. East Lake Hotel, the site of this forum, is known as the "Hubei State Guesthouse” and is located on the scenic East Lake where Chairman Mao Zedong worked and lived here for a long time.
