SUMMARY:Guest Lecture: Chinese Humanities in the Global Era
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture\nChinese Humanities in the Global Era\nWednesday July 6\, 2016  · 6 pm (c.t.) ·  KWZ 0.602\nProf. Hsiung Ping-Chen\, The Chinese University of Hong Kong \nThe Term “Humanities” is often used in reference to disciplinary academic humanities: a modern\, institutional subject. That its development is usually a product (or byproduct) of cultural politics in nation-building can be taken for granted. In the case of China\, however\, the long and complicated civilization evidenced before the modern era—since Neolithic times\, with literary texts that date back thousands of years—presents us with the particular problem of deciding whether “national” is the best and most representative designation for the evolution of Chinese humanities as a disciplinary subject or for the cultural heritage behind it. The developmental phases of Chinese humanities provide us with a good tool for considering the nature of “national” humanities in an era that is increasingly global. The fact that “Chinese” humanistic studies are the product of an ancient civilization has also given them an undeniable regional quality\, which explains why they continue to exhibit characteristics that appear to be more broadly “East Asian.” In crises or opportunities involving Chinese academic and public humanities\, therefore\, the interplay of this national and intrinsically regional character may help scholars to address the complex yet fundamental questions behind the assumption that any humanities can be labeled as national or regional in this global era. \n  \nImage: By Kevin Doncaster\, Marbles\, CC BY 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/ChipsX\nDesign: CeMEAS \n

SUMMARY:Gastvortrag: Ein Postkolonialer Denker avant la lettre?  Takeuchi Yoshimi\, sein Asianismus und die Kritik an der Moderne
DESCRIPTION:Gastvortrag\nEin Postkolonialer Denker avant la lettre? Takeuchi Yoshimi\, sein Asianismus und die Kritik an der Moderne\nThursday July 7\, 2016  · 6 pm (c.t.) ·  KWZ 3.701\nProf. Viren Murthy\, Department of History\, University of Wisconsin-Madison \nIn den 1980er Jahren begann eine zentrale Auseinandersetzung zwischen Marxisten und postkolonialen Theoretikern. Letztere kritisierten den Marxismus als eurozentrisch. Ihrer Meinung nach sahen Marxisten die europäische Geschichte als universell gültig und nutzten daher das europäische Entwicklungsmodell um Asien zu erklären. So verwendeten die Marxisten Kategorien wie Sklavengesellschaft und Feudalismus\, um die chinesische\, japanische und indische Geschichte zu interpretieren. In dieser Hinsicht erscheint der bekannte japanische Intellektuelle Takeuchi Yoshimi (1910-1977) als postkolonialer Denker avant la lettre.  In seiner Beschäftigung mit chinesischen Autoren und  Politikern wie etwa Lu Xun\, Sun Yat-sen und Mao Zedong kritisiert Takeuchi Kategorien wie Ost und West und entwickelt dadurch eine neue politische Sicht von Asien. Seiner Meinung nach wurde der Orient durch den Imperialismus erschaffen und daher als weniger fortschrittlich beurteilt als der Okzident. Intellektuelle im Orient setzen diese Wertung voraus\, obwohl sie gegen den Westen kämpfen\, denn in der Dialektik der 4.-Mai-Bewegung in China oder in der japanischen Meiji-Restauration kämpften chinesische und japanische Intellektuelle gegen den Imperialismus. In diesen Bewegungen verleugneten die Intellektuellen jedoch ihre eigene Kultur\, die sie als ein Hindernis für die Modernisierung sahen.  Takeuchi lieferte  hier eine neue Interpretation mit seiner Kritik an Ost und West. \nTakeuchi machte seinen Standpunkt durch seine eigene Auslegung von Lu Xun deutlich.  Lu Xun ist der bekannteste moderne Schriftsteller in China und  war nach den 1930er Jahren in China als Verteidiger der Modernisierung bekannt.  Als Takeuchis berühmtes Buch über Lu Xun 1944 erschien war er wahrscheinlich einer der ersten\, der Lu Xun als Kritiker der Moderne\, oder zumindest als einen der Moderne gegenüber zwiegespaltenen Denker\, einschätzte. Heutzutage ist eine solche Interpretation weit verbreitet. Der chinesische Neulinke Wang Hui hat beispielsweise in den späten 1980er Jahren eine ähnliche Interpretation von Lu Xun entwickelt. Dank des Einflusses subalterner und postkolonialer Studien in den 1990er Jahren haben Japanologen und wie Sinologen Takeuchi Yoshimi und seine Lu-Xun-Interpretation wiederentdeckt. In seinem Buch Takeuchi Yoshimi: Displacing the West (2004) versucht Richard Calichman Takeuchi philosophisch auszulegen und Takeuchis Begriff von Gefühl bzw. Passivität auf Basis der Thesen von Derrida und Jean-Luc Nancy zu erklären. \nChristian Uhls Wer War Takeuchis Lu Xun hingegen versucht Takeuchi von einer historischen Seite anzugehen und erklärt\, wie Takeuchi einige Begriffe und auch den theoretischen Rahmen von Nishida Kitaro verwendet. Ich versuche diese beiden Methoden weiterzuentwickeln\, konzentriere mich aber mehr auf die die Bedingungen der Interpretation Takeuchis sowie darauf\, wie solche Bedingungen mit den globalen Phänomenen des Kapitalismus und Imperialismus verknüpft sind. Takeuchi versucht  nämlich hier alternative Arten von Transzendenz zu entdecken und konstruiert durch eine literarische bzw. religiöse Transzendenz seine politische Vision. Seiner Meinung nach ist eine solche politische Transzendenz von einer eurozentrischen Perspektive aus nicht zu finden.  Die politische Vision\, die Takeuchi in China und Asien findet\, basiert auf einer anderen Art\, die Politik\, Religion und Literatur verbindet. In diesem Vortrag beabsichtige ich\, Takeuchis politische Ansicht von Asien bzw. seine Auslegung von Lu Xuns politischer Ansicht in einer Theorie des Kapitalismus zu begründen. Es ist bekannt\, daß Okawa Shumei Religion und Politik verbunden hat. Takeuchi versucht sich jedoch an dem Projekt\, Politik\, Religion und Literatur zu verknüpfen. Dieses Vorgehen ist mit der Suche nach einer Welt jenseits des Kapitalismus verbunden. Es ist zudem sein eigener Versuch\, eine neue sozialistische Politik zu schaffen. Wir können seinen Versuch postkolonial nennen\, aber trotzdem gibt es auch eine hegelianische Dimension\, weil Takeuchi danach strebt\, durch die Vermittlung Asiens westliche Ideale wie Freiheit und Egalität auf einer höheren Ebene zu realisieren. \n  \nImage: By guercio\, it depends on the cage you are in  CC BY 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/6ctyJd\nPoster Design: CeMEAS \n

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture: Floating Gods\, Ghosts\, and Ancestors in North China Plain
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture\nFloating Gods\, Ghosts\, and Ancestors in North China Plain: Boat-dwelling Fisherpeople’s Mobile Pantheon and Ancestral Hall\nFriday July 8\, 2016 · 2 pm (c.t.) · KWZ 0.610\nChing-chih Lin\n Graduate Institute of Religious Studies\, National Chengchi University \nThis talk focuses on how environmental change transformed the religious culture by examining the floating community of boat-dwelling fisherpeople in freshwater in North China. These mobile\, isolated boat people adapted to a boat-dwelling lifestyle\, organized aquatic social groups\, and created innovative religious practices and beliefs in order to maintain their relationships with spirits and ancestors\, as well as dispersed lineage members\, given that they had no fixed base on land to build temples\, ancestral shrines or tombs. These boat dwellers were displaced from their land-based estates and became environmental refugees during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. More than hundred thousands of boat-dwellers moved back and forth via interconnected waterways among lakes and Grand Canal in North Jiangsu\, Southwest Shandong\, and the Huai River valleys of Anhui. The isolation of the boat people protected their unique religious activities from the anti-religious campaigns of the twentieth century. Their ritual tradition Duangu Ceremony was granted the status of National Intangible Cultural Heritage by the Ministry of Culture of the People’s Republic of China in 2011. \nSome significant elements and structures of religious belief and practice of boat people\, namely their ancestral worship and central rituals for deities\, remained unchanged\, transcending differences in occupation\, social status\, and environment for centuries. With the assistance of ritualists within the floating community\, these boat people endeavored to continue their genealogies and maintain ancestor worship\, practices that were equally important to farmers. These shared components can help us rethink core elements and structures of Chinese popular culture\, previously based on farmers’ experiences\, and discern which features are the most significant in Chinese popular religion and how and why they play such vital roles. More importantly\, core cultural elements have been resilient and resistant to environmental change. \nImage: By Lawrence Siu\, the grand canal\, CC BY 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/4jAW6\,

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: What’s Religious about a Dead Body? Cadaver Donations in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS lecture:\nWhat’s Religious about a Dead Body? Cadaver Donations in Taiwan \nMonday July 25\, 2016  · 4 pm (c.t.)  ·  KWZ 0.610\n Prof. C. Julia Huang\, National Tsing Hua University\, Taiwan/VisitingScholar\, The Ho Center for Buddhist Studies\, Stanford University \nDrawing from ethnographies\, in this lecture Prof. Huang will explore the phenomenon of a recent “surge” of cadaver donations for medical purposes in Taiwan. The setting is a university founded by Tzu Chi (Ciji)\, a charismatic movement that runs one of the largest charities of Chinese Buddhism in the world. Since Tzu Chi founded its medical school in 1994\, the total number of donors for whole body donation for medical education has increased from one in 1995 to over 34\,000 in 2013. To what extent is this increase of willed bodies a religious phenomenon? What is religious about the dead body? In this lecture\, Prof. Huang will analyze her ethnographies with different approaches to religion\, in hope that her work will shed light on the shifting concept of religion in a modern and multicultural context. \nImage: By University of Liverpool Faculty of Health & Life Sciences\, Anatomical diagram of the human skeleton (rear view)\, CC BY-SA 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/huDYbS\nDesign: CeMEAS

SUMMARY:Lecture: How China Escaped the Poverty Trap
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture Series:  \nHow China Escaped the Poverty Trap \nTuesday\, Nov. 1\, 2016 · 6 pm\, VG 3.101 \nYuen Yuen Ang\, Assistant Professor of Political Science\, University of Michigan\n \n  \nPlease pay attention: this Lecture is cancelled. \n\nBefore markets opened in 1978\, China was an impoverished planned economy governed by a Maoist bureaucracy. In just three decades it evolved into the world’s second-largest economy and is today guided by highly entrepreneurial bureaucrats. What explains this amazing metamorphosis?\nWas it because China possessed basic growth factors like cheap labor? Was it bureaucratic incentives to promote growth? The use of incremental reforms? Or historical legacies? Existing accounts each highlight a different piece of the grand puzzle of China’s great transformation. Yet none can explain how the other pieces aggregated to remake an entire political economy within the span of a single generation.\nYuen Yuen Ang presents a fresh\, synthetic account of development that systematically traces the coevolution of markets and institutions. Her approach reveals a surprising finding: China escaped the poverty trap by first building markets with weak institutions—that is\, institutions that defy norms of good governance. This sequence of development is found in other geographic and temporal settings\, including late medieval Europe\, antebellum United States\, and contemporary Nigeria. \nBio\nYuen Yuen Ang is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan. Her book\, How China Escaped the Poverty Trap\, is released by Cornell University Press in September 2016\, and included in its political economy series.

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: Was Buddha a Muslim? Ottoman Turkish Reflexions on Japan
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture: \nWas Buddha a Muslim? Ottoman Turkish Reflexions on Japan\nTuesday\, Jan. 17\, 2017\, 6 pm (c.t.) – 8 pm\, KWZ 2.601 \nDr. Katja Triplett \nCeMEAS\, University of Göttingen \nIn studies on relations between Japan and Turkey\, the topic of ‘religion’ has been mainly addressed in light of Islamic missionary activities and the role of Ottoman Turkish proselytizers in Japan. Recent studies have also highlighted the ways in which Japan served as a model for Ottomans in attaining “non-Western” modernity. \nHowever\, how Ottoman and republican Turkish intellectuals reflected about Japanese religions and spiritual practices has been not been studied yet in much detail\, despite the fact that a great variety of texts attests to the deep interest for these topics. Writers from Turkey who engaged with various forms of Japanese spirituality relied in their analyses often on sources in Western languages. The presentation will examine the originality of their interpretations and explore first-hand observations\, such as a visit to a Buddhist temple in Tokyo\, by Ottomans in early twentieth century Japan. \nAbout the lecturer:\nKatja Triplett holds a doctorate in the Study of Religions\, Japanese Linguistics and Anthropology from Marburg University\, and is currently affiliated at CeMEAS. From 2012 – 2016 she was professor for the Study of Religions at the Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen. Currently she is a lecturer in the Study of Religions at the Study of Religions Unit\, Institute for Theology and the Study of Religions\, Leibniz University Hannover.\nHer current research projects are Japanese Buddhist medicine (500-1600 CE) and religious ideas and aesthetics from Japan in the late Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey. \n

All the autobiographies constitute an inner space of collective memory. The space has its own structure which I want to illustrate with four relationships: Jewish Refugees’ relationships with Germany/Austria\, relationships with China/Japan\, relationships within Refugees and family relationships. The space gets its dynamics by alternation of inclusion and exclusion\, remembering and forgetting.

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture Series: Behind the headlines:  reforming governance from rebuilding China’s fiscal foundations
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture Series: \nBehind the headlines:  reforming governance from rebuilding China’s fiscal foundations \nChristine Wong\, University of Melbourne\nMonday\, 19.06.2017\, 18:00 – 19:30\, KWZ 0.602 \n \nIn the lead up to the 19th Party Congress in November 2017\, the dominant narrative on Xi Jinping’s first term is that his ambitious reform program has stalled\, and that the anti-corruption campaign is just a ruse for power-grab and repression. This lecture argues instead that behind the headlines\, significant progress has been made towards building the foundations for a rule-based system of governance.\nThe analysis starts from reviewing the progress in fiscal reform\, a sector seen as the lynchpin of the ambitious\, comprehensive program announced at the Third Plenum of the Chinese Communist Party’s 18th Party Congress in November 2013. From the outside\, it looks like the early passage of the Budget Law and other legislative changes have brought few concrete results\, and progress is far behind schedule. In fact\, the Budget Law and associated documents have set in motion some fundamental changes that will redraw the boundary between the state and market\, as well as the state and society. These changes are just starting to be implemented\, though\, and progress will unlikely be linear. \nProfile\nChristine Wong is Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Centre for Contemporary Chinese Studies at the University of Melbourne. Prior to joining Melbourne\, she was Professor and Director of Chinese Studies at the University of Oxford\, where she was a Fellow of Lady Margaret Hall. She has also held the Henry M. Jackson Professorship in International Studies at the University of Washington\, and taught economics at the University of California\, Santa Cruz; University of California\, Berkeley; and Mount Holyoke College.\nProfessor Wong has also held senior staff positions in the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank\, and worked extensively with other international agencies including the IMF\, OECD\, UNDP\, UNICEF\, and the UK Department for International Development. She is a member of the OECD Advisory Panel on Budgeting and Public Expenditures.\nProfessor Wong is a leading authority on China’s public finance. She has published widely on China’s public finance\, intergovernmental fiscal relations and their implications for governance\, economic development and welfare. Her recent research is focused on economic reform under Xi Jinping and the institutional constraints to modernising governance in China. \n  \n  \n  \nPicture: Lyn Gateley\, DSC01599\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/8iF7Ey

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture Series: Paper Tigers\, Hidden Dragons: Firms and the Political Economy of China’s Technological Development
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture Series:\nPaper Tigers\, Hidden Dragons: Firms and the Political Economy of China’s Technological Development \nDouglas B. Fuller\, Zhejiang University\nTuesday\, 27.06.2017\, 18:00 – 19:30\, VG 3.103 \n \nChina presents us with a conundrum. How has a developing country with a spectacularly inefficient financial system\, coupled with asset-destroying state-owned firms\, managed to create a number of vibrant high-tech firms? \nChina’s domestic financial system fails most private firms by neglecting to give them sufficient support to pursue technological upgrading\, even while smothering state-favored firms by providing them with too much support. Due to their foreign financing\, multinational corporations suffer from neither insufficient funds nor soft budget constraints\, but they are insufficiently committed to China’s development. Hybrid firms that combine ethnic Chinese management and foreign financing are the hidden dragons driving China’s technological development. They avoid the maladies of China’s domestic financial system while remaining committed to enhancing China’s domestic technological capabilities. \nIn sad contrast\, China’s domestic firms are technological paper tigers. State efforts to build local innovation clusters and create national champions have not managed to transform these firms into drivers of technological development. \nThese findings upend fundamental debates about China’s political economy. Rather than a choice between state capitalism and building domestic market institutions\, China has fostered state capitalism even while tolerating the importing of foreign market institutions. While the book’s findings suggest that China’s state and domestic market institutions are ineffective\, the hybrids promise an alternative way to avoid the middle-income trap. By documenting how variation in China’s institutional terrain impacts technological development\, the book also provides much needed nuance to widespread yet mutually irreconcilable claims that China is either an emerging innovation power or a technological backwater. \nLooking beyond China\, hybrid-led development has implications for new alternative economic development models and new ways to conceptualize contemporary capitalism that go beyond current domestic institution-centric approaches. \n  \n  \n  \nPicture: Matt\, Garment factory jiaxing\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/593ruE

SUMMARY:Lecture: The Powers of Xi Jinping
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:\nThe Powers of Xi Jinping\nProf. Kerry Brown (King’s College London)\nVenue: VG 0.606\nDate: Wednesday\, 28.06.2017\, 18.00 – 20.00 Uhr\nOrganizers: Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department for Political Science\nAbstract:\nThis year will see the 19th Party Congress\, marking a moment of re-evaluation for the Communist Party policy and elite leadership. Under Xi since 2012 there has been what is claimed to have been a concentration of power within his hands. But how can we best understand this power\, and what sense does it make to say that Xi is the new Mao of China? What is his political programme\, and how does it relate to the organisation he is meant to be serving and leading to a sustainable future – the Communist Party of China.’ \nPresenter:\nKerry Brown is Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College\, London. His main interests are in the politics and society of modern China\, in its international relations and its political economy. His monographs include `Struggling Giant: China in the 21st Century’ (London\, June 2007 )and `Friends and Enemies: The Past\, Present and Future of the Communist Party of China’ (London\, 2009). \n  \n  \nImage: APEC 2013\,neiljs\,Presiden China Hadiri APEC 2013\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/goJ66F

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture Series: Air Pollution and the Public in China:  Perspectives from Urban and Rural Areas
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture Series: \nAir Pollution and the Public in China:  Perspectives from Urban and Rural Areas \nBryan Tilt\, Oregon State University\nTuesday\, 04.07.2017\, 18:00 – 19:30\, VG 2.104 \n \nAbstract:\nChina’s air pollution crisis has recently attracted a great deal of scientific and media attention both domestically and internationally. While official statistics and government pronouncements have been widely circulated and discussed via social media\, the perceptions and reactions of people who deal with smog on a daily basis remain poorly understood. How do people in urban and rural China perceive the environmental crisis they face? How do they understand and cope with air pollution in the context of their daily lives? How do they balance the relationship between environmental quality and overall quality of life? In this presentation\, I draw upon recent research in one urban area (Tangshan\, Hebei Province) and one rural area (Panzhihua\, Sichuan Province) to address these questions. I discuss the research findings in the context of emerging literature on the rise of environmental consciousness in China\, and consider the implications for the control of air pollution in China today. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPicture: Steve Slep\,DSC01109\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/2s1DTy

SUMMARY:Lecture: Liberating the "oppressed nations": Chinese communist networks and the Comintern in Southeast Asia\, the Americas\, and Europe\, c. 1920s-1930s
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture:\nLiberating the “oppressed nations”: Chinese communist networks and the Comintern in Southeast Asia\, the Americas\, and Europe\, c. 1920s-1930s\nAnna Belogurova\, CeMIS\, Universität Göttingen\nTuesday\, 11.07.2017\, 18:00 – 19:30\, VG 1.105\n \nAbstract:\nIn the context of unprecedented circulation of people and ideas in the interwar global moment\, Chinese communists built their overseas networks in the old empires and invented new nations. As they were making revolution both in and outside China\, they aspired to liberate the world from imperialism and to save China. Their rationale was rooted both in long held ideas about China’s place in the world\, as well as in new theories of political revolution which had originated outside China.\nDifferent local contexts and transnational actors such as the Comintern\, shaped the interaction of the Chinese networks with local nationalism and local anti-colonial movements. As the result\, the historical roles of the Chinese networks in Americas\, Europe\, and the Southeast Asia were different. \n  \n  \n  \nImage: tiegeltuf\, Netzwerk\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/pN652C

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Social Policy in China: Retrospect and Prospect
DESCRIPTION:Social Policy in China: Retrospect and Prospect\nDr. Armin Müller (University of Göttingen)\nWednesday\, 01.11.2017\, 18:00-19:30\, KWZ 0.609\n \nAbstract\nSince 1979\, social protection in China has undergone fundamental institutional transformations. This presentation provides an overview of the state of the literature on social policy in the PRC\, the institutional change which has characterized social protection in the reform period\, and an outlook on future developments. Social protection under the planned economy was characterized by a division between urban and rural areas\, decentralization\, and companies functioning as enclosed mini-welfare states. In the course of economic reforms\, urbanization\, marketization and migration have generated substantial frictions with the institutional legacies of planned-economy social protection. The examples of health and pension insurance illustrate the pattern of institutional change that resulted from these frictions: a process of gradual functional integration. This process adapts social protection to marketization through the creation of insurance systems pooling risks between companies and households; it adapts previously separate urban and rural insurance systems to urbanization by integrating them; and it adapts insurance to migration by improving the portability of benefits from the decentralized and formally enclosed local insurance systems. Functional integration is also driving forward a dualization of social protection in China\, with relatively generous benefits for people in regular\, formal employment\, and merely basic protection for the remainder of the population. While we enter the second term of the Xi administration\, China’s social protection system keeps reproducing economic and political inequality rather than counter-balancing it. Current policy initiatives aim at attenuating inequalities related to employment status\, locality\, and the urban-rural divide. However\, the potentially contentious nature of social redistribution raises questions regarding the degree to which these reforms can achieve their envisioned outcomes. \n  \n  \nPicture: Pedro Szekely， Shanghai\, China\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/YkeqME \n

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Is Policy Innovation possible under the Xi Jinping Regime?
DESCRIPTION:Is Policy Innovation possible under the Xi Jinping Regime?\nProf. Reza Hasmath (University of Alberta)\nTuesday\, 07.11.2017\, 18:00-19:30\, T0.136\n \nAbstract:\nDespite playing a key contributory role in China’s recent economic reforms and the Party’s regime durability\, there has been a noted reduction in central-level policy experimentation under Xi Jinping’s administration. Recent studies have further noted an empirical reduction in policy innovation at the subnational level\, and question whether local officials will continue to experiment in the foreseeable future.\nThis talk suggests that although these changes at the central-level are filtering down to local officials\, a great deal of variation in policy experimentation exists. Thus\, the puzzle motivating this talk is how do local officials filter these institutional changes to the extent of observed variations in local policy innovation?\nUsing recent fieldwork evidence\, this talk presents three potential explanations: (1) the ineffectiveness of the vertical reward and punishment systems operated by the Party-state; (2) differing base preferences of local officials; and\, (3) the presence of a cohort effect\, viz. a communities of practice. While some officials are still conducting policy experimentation\, the overall reduction in innovation strongly suggests that potential solutions to governance problems remain trapped at the local level\, and that the central government will lose this “adaptable” governance mechanism that has contributed to its past economic and political successes. \n  \nIf you are interested in the paper “Beyond Special Privileges: The Discretionary Treatment of Ethnic Minorities in China’s Welfare System” written by Reza Hasmath and Andrew W. Macdonald\, please write to us to request the paper. \n  \n  \nPicture:Heather\, blue building #2\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\,htps://flic.kr/p/9hJVCA

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Urbanization and Social Policy: Prospects for Social Citizenship in China
DESCRIPTION:Urbanization and Social Policy: Prospects for Social Citizenship in China\nProf. Mark Frazier\n (India-China Institute\, The New School)\n Thursday\, 30.11.2017\, 18:00 (c.t.) – 20:00\, KWZ 0.606 \nAbstract:\nAs numerous commentators have pointed out\, China is the first country in the world to experience an ageing population without first having reached developed country status. China is indeed ‘growing old before it grows rich\,’ but the meanings and significance of this demographic event are not clear. A substantial body of scholarship\, generally public policy-oriented to measure and propose solutions to China’s demographic challenge\, has emerged since the mid-2000s\, with some observers concluding that the ageing burden will impose an insurmountable obstacle to China’s continued economic growth. Many analysts also wonder what population ageing will mean for the fiscal conditions of the Chinese government\, given the demands to be placed on a still fragmented\, and seemingly fragile\, public pension system. Yet\, will be argued in this paper\, the effects of population ageing will in large part depend on questions of citizenship. Inclusion and access to basic social protections—and\, by implication\, exclusion from them—are debated not only in China but also in most high-income countries\, many of which are ageing. In both the former and the latter\, pressures from population ageing would be lessened if those now treated in law and social policy as non-citizens were to be granted access to pension and other social welfare programs (notably\, healthcare) that rely on mandatory contributions from citizens. \n  \n  \nDesign & Image Selection: CeMEAS\nImage: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center\, Earth’s City Lights 1994\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/dywxTR

SUMMARY:Lecture Series: Poverty Alleviation as an Instrument of Technical Governance in Rural China
DESCRIPTION:Poverty Alleviation as an Instrument of Technical Governance in Rural China\nProf. Xiong Yuegen (Peking University)\n Thursday\, 07.12.2017\, 18:00 (c.t.) – 20:00\, KWZ 0.602 \nAbstract:\nIn the past decades\, China has achieved a great success in poverty reduction by helping more than 800 million of poor farmers out of poverty trap. However\, Chinese government has made a series of serious efforts on social policy implementation in rural areas\, poverty as a problematic persistent issue is still perplexing owing to institutional constraints and policy failure. In 2015\, the Party and central government launched a new national campaign entitled the Targeted Poverty Alleviation Programme aiming to eradicate the problem of poverty in rural areas by 2020. In this lecture\, I will mainly discuss the following issues: First\, how does this national campaign on poverty reduction in the new era differ from the previous ones? Second\, what is the main impact of the targeted poverty reduction programme on the farmers’ life and local government? Third\, what are the main limitations of the top-down model of poverty reduction programme in the centralized regime and its implications for the socio-economic development in future in China. Based on the field research conducted in Jiangxi Province\, the author will link the empirical data with theoretical interpretation on the ongoing social changes in the country. \nBio of the Speaker: \nYuegen Xiong is Professor and Director\, The Centre for Social Policy Research (CSPR) in the Department of Sociology at Peking University\, China.
