征文| Call for Recommendations and Reviews on National Development

Today’s world is in the midst of great changes that have not been seen in a century. Guidelines and strategies of national development are significant in overcoming the challenges we’re facing. In this context, Fudan Development Institute (FDDI) is innovatively conducting researches on “national development impetus” and has released a series of reports which argue that all the countries, since the birth of the concept “state”, have been competing for survival, development and prosperity. A country’s development impetus not only determines the state of national development and its developmental capacity in the past and present, but also plays an essential role in future national development. National development impetus is formed via the dynamic interplay between productive forces and relations of production, and it serves as a driving force to ensure the survival of a country, promotes its progress, and strengthen its power.
