SUMMARY:Podiumsdiskussion: Systemwettbewerb China
DESCRIPTION:Öffentliche Podiumsdiskussion: Chinas Wirtschaft im globalen Systemwettbewerb\n\nZeit: 06.10.2022\, 18:00 – 19:30 (GMT +2)\nOrt: Zentrales Hörsaalgebäude ZHG 002\, Platz d. Göttinger Sieben 5\, 37073 Göttingen\nDiskutant*innen:\nDietmar Baetge\, TH Wildau\nAnja Jetschke\, Universität Göttingen\nWolfgang Krieger\, BDI\nJürgen Matthes\, IW Köln\nModeration: Felix Turbanisch\, Universität Göttingen\nIst die westliche Demokratie und Marktwirtschaft gegenüber der staatskapitalistischen Autokratie wettbewerbsfähig? Was bedeuten die wachsenden wirtschaftlichen Abhängigkeiten von China für Deutschland und Europa? Verstärkt die Handhabung der Corona-Pandemie die Rivalität zwischen China und dem “Westen”?\nChinas System der staatskapitalistischen Autokratie hat sich unter Xi Jinping nicht nur weiter verfestigt\, sondern China positioniert sich immer selbstbewusster als Alternative zu westlicher Demokratie und Marktwirtschaft. Eine neue Form internationaler Beziehungen könnte kultiviert werden und so eine Abkehr von Chinas außenpolitischem Prinzip der Nichteinmischung einleiten. Der neue Systemwettbewerb zwischen den demokratischen Marktwirtschaften und dem autoritären Staatskapitalismus in China birgt neue Herausforderungen. Dies zeigt sich beispielsweise in Chinas Haltung gegenüber dem Globalen Süden und den damit einhergehenden wirtschaftlichen und politischen Perspektiven in Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländern oder im Rahmen der Neuen Seidenstraße durch sich verstärkende Handlungs- und Investitionsbeziehungen. \nDietmar Baetge (TH Wildau)\nDr. Dietmar Baetge ist Professor für Internationales Handelsrecht und Wirtschaftsprivatrecht an der Technischen Hochschule Wildau. Zu seinen Forschungsschwerpunkten gehören die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Wettbewerbs- und internationaler Handelspolitik. \n\nAnja Jetschke (Universität Göttingen)\,\nAnja Jetschke ist seit April 2012 Professorin für Internationale Beziehungen am Institut für Politikwissenschaft an der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte liegen auf der Entstehung und den Effekten des institutionellen Designs internationaler und regionaler Organisationen. \n\n\nWolfgang Krieger (BDI)\nWolfgang Krieger ist Deputy Chief Representative des Bundesverbands der Deutschen Industrie (BDI e.V.) in China. In seiner Forschung beschäftigt er sich mit dem regulatorischen Umfeld in China\, sowie den Wirtschaftsbeziehungen zwischen der EU und China. \n\n\nJürgen Matthes (IW Köln)\nJürgen Matthes ist Leiter des Kompetenzfelds Internationale Wirtschaftsordnung und Konjunktur am Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft Köln. Sein Forschungsschwerpunkt liegt auf den ökonomischen Aspekten der Globalisierung. \n\nOrganisator*innen: \n\nCentre for Modern East Asian Studies (CeMEAS) der Universität Göttingen \n\nKiel Institute China Initiative des IfW Kiel \nAndreas Fuchs (Professur für Entwicklungsökonomik) und\nAnja Jetschke (Professur für Internationale Beziehungen) an der Universität Göttingen. \n  \n\nImage: Attribution 2.0 Generic\, Chong Qing Nightscape by Jay Huang\, https://flic.kr/p/2imuXyX\n(CC BY 2.0)

SUMMARY:Voices of Struggle: LGBTQ & Feminist Activism in China and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Voices of Struggle: LGBTQ & Feminist Activism in China and Beyond\nVoices of Struggle explores the complex entanglements between activism and academia in transnational perspective. What does it mean to be an engaged or activist scholar today? How should we think about the connections/separations between the two spheres of activism and academia? And how can activists and academics best combine their strengths to effect change? In what ways are deepening transnational connections re-shaping the practice of activism around the globe? This two day event brings together leading scholars and activists to discuss these questions in relation to the development of feminism and LGBTQ activism in China and beyond. \nEvent is free to the public. No registration is needed. \nWorkshop: April 17\, 13:30 – 18:15\nVenue: Emmy-Noether-Saal\, Tagungs- und Veranstaltungshaus Alte Mensa\, Wilhelmsplatz 3\, Göttingen \nParticipants：\nBao Hongwei (University of Nottingham)\nHarriett Evans (University of Westminster)\nLi Tingting (Activist\, London)\nKimberley Manning (Concorida University)\n \n  \nFilm Screening: April 18\, 18:00 – 20:00\nLocation: ZHG 002 \nVachina Monologues 来自阴道\nFanPopo|28’|2013\nDocumentary China\nLanguage: Mandarin\nSubtitles: English \nParticipants:\nBao Hongwei (University of Nottingham)\nFan Popo (Filmmaker\, Berlin)\nLi Tingting (Activist\, London) \n  \nProgram:\nA first roundtable session\, featuring Harriet Evans (Westminster) and Kimberley Manning (Concordia)\, explores the history and development of feminism in relation to politics and state power in China.

SUMMARY:Rural-Urban Dynamics and Emergent Forms of Labor in India and China
DESCRIPTION:Rural-Urban Dynamics and Emergent Forms of Labor in India and China\nFor the latest information and updates about the Workshop\, please click here. \nUniversity of Göttingen\, Germany\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies\, CeMIS – Centre for Modern Indian Studies \nIn recent decades\, economic reforms in India and China have changed the adaptability\, speed\, and direction through which capital flows in the global market economy. Accelerated growth in the two economies has been facilitated by increasing mobility and emergent forms of labor situated between agriculture\, industry and services. \n \nThese developments reveal the fluidity and dynamism of the division between rural and urban\, creating ambiguous interstitial spaces and networks through which new forms of labor arise. They are entangled with transformations in the regimes of production and land use\, as well as with changes in the organization of kinship relations. In turn\, they give rise to new subjectivities and aspirations. \nCities absorb large numbers of rural migrants aspiring to join the ranks of the urban middle classes. Illegal practices combine with legal forms of work\, while private corporations and land-holding entities blur the boundary between public and private domains. The informalization of work and flexible labor practices facilitates the world’s growing demand for low-wage labor at the cost of unmaking former working-class communities already facing the retrenchment of state-sponsored benefits and social services. The weakening of traditional labor unions and the limited integration of migrants into public service provision means that migrants have to rely on their capacity to secure support networks through kinship and bottom-up labor organizations. Precarious employment also pushes migrants to experiment with new entrepreneurial practices: individuals need to become competent self-starters with flexible skills and business acumen. \nThese processes not only transform the livelihoods of individual migrants but also the conditions of local communities in the wider sending and receiving areas. Emerging peri-urban areas take many shapes. In mega-cities\, former urban cores expand and shrink\, thereby cultivating dynamic spaces which serve as gateways for migrant workers in search of affordable housing and employment. Lower tier cities and so-called “urban villages” pop-up as quickly as urban cores disappear. \nIndeed\, perhaps the most prominent features of development in China and India today are the increasing levels of social\, economic and environmental violence in these interstitial zones\, which\, at the same time\, gives rise to individual and collective aspirations\, hopes\, and imaginations for a better life. \nProposals \nWe invite contributions from the fields of cultural studies\, labor studies\, geography\, political science\, urban planning\, sociology\, anthropology\, and related disciplines that address the entangled social and spatial aspects of these transformations. We encourage applicants to explore\, evaluate\, and debate the workshop themes by contributing empirical case studies and theoretical considerations within comparative Asian contexts. \nThe questions we are interested in addressing include: \n\nWhich new forms of labor and labor organization develop through these rural/urban dynamics?\nTo what extent are interstitial zones aspirational spaces?\nWhich factors facilitate\, allow\, and limit rural-urban migrants’ upward social mobility in these interstitial zones?\nHow do the experiences of migrants who float in and out of these zones challenge their gendered\, ethnic\, religious\, and class-based self-identifications?\nHow are developing transnational economic ties influencing and transforming existing institutional structures (i.e. of labor relations and production regimes)?\nHow can workers interests be represented in the expansion of second- and third-sector employment in China and India? What role do old and new forms of worker organization and labor unions play in the process?\nHow do rural-urban migrants and urbanites organize social security in the absence of effective\, state-organized social protection?\nHow do opportunities for education/skill-formation influence social mobility and employment relations? What roles do governments\, enterprises\, and labor unions play? Is the established state of labor market segregation along ethnicity\, gender\, and other lines challenged by new transnational economic ties and emerging peri-urban landscapes? How\, if at all\, are these transformations likely to impact on social mobility?\nHow are the costs and benefits of migration distributed between the urban and rural areas?\nHow do the boundary-making practices that take place within these interstitial zones articulate with national identifications\, state governance\, and cross-cultural encounters?\n\nSubmission of Proposals\nPaper proposals should include a title\, an abstract (250 words maximum) which states: \n\nThe objective and rationale of your project\nThe methods/sources used for writing the paper\nA brief personal biography of 150 words.\n\nDeadline for abstract submission is January 4\, 2016.\nPlease send all proposals to assist(at)cemeas.uni-goettingen.de. \nWe are applying for funding to finance travel and accommodation costs for workshop participants. For further information\, please contact Ms Katja Pessl via cemeas(at)uni-goettingen.de. \nAll applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application as soon as possible after the closing date. \nContact:\nKatja Pessl\nCoordinator\nCentre for Modern East Asian Studies\nUniversity of Göttingen\ncemeas(at)uni-goettingen.de\n+49-(0)551-39 21280 \nHome \n \nDr. Karin Klenke\nCoordinator\nCentre for Modern Indian Studies\nUniversity of Göttingen\nkarin.klenke(at)cemis.uni-goettingen.de\n+49-(0)551-39 19636\nhttps://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/131257.html
