Shanghai Jiao Tong University Center for Oceans Law and Policy (SJTU-COLP)
Based in COLP-SJTU, the China Oceans Law Review ("COLR") is a cross-strait collaborative project among Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Xiamen University, Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Taiwan Sun Yat-sen University. The journal's goal is to combine the wisdom of oceans law scholars, and promote the development of ocean affairs in China. As the only Chinese-language oceans law publication, the COLR (ISSN: 1813-7350) is one of the first professional publications invited by China National Knowledge Infrastructure中国知识基础设施工程 ("CNKI") to join the Chinese Elite Legal Academic Journals Full-Text Database《中国优秀法律学术论文集全文数据库》. Some prominent Chinese institutes have also included this journal in their list of highly acknowledged academic periodicals. Publications by their young faculty members in this journal will be taken into account for any promotion or grant applications. COLR is a semi-annual journal published in Hong Kong S.A.R., China, with KoGuan Chair Professor of Law Kuen-chen FU as its Editor-in-Chief.
In addition to publishing the COLR, the COLP-SJTU at KoGuan Law School has also been hosting a series of advanced study programs, which will have profound significance in the formation and development of a sense of ocean rights in China. The COLP-SJTU will provide world-class services in upholding the nation's ocean rights, helping to build Shanghai's International Shipping Center, and training Chinese experts in oceans law and policy. The Center for Oceans Law and Policy will serve as the best platform in Asia for the overall development of the area's ocean's law studies.
