The New Civilizationisms in Asia roundtable is part of a larger international collaboration organized by Stanford University and the University of Gottingen.

In the past two decades, there has been a world-wide resurgence of discourses that define the people in terms of their unique civilizational identity and call for states to refurbish their timeless civilizational glory. These discourses, or "new civilizationisms" as we call them, both draw on and react against an older, Enlightenment-inspired, and Eurocentric notion of civilization.
