Its global reach is exemplified by initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative spanning over 150 countries. Its state-led economic model and intertwined economic-political strategy differ markedly from Western approaches\, positioning China as a key player in geoeconomics as it leverages economic prowess for strategic objectives. While China and European economies share interests in maintaining the global economic order\, tensions persist over market access\, competition practices\, and strategic industries. Despite China’s pivotal role in transforming the world economy\, academic research has not kept pace with its growing influence and the implications of its economic rise. \nThe second edition of the conference will serve as a nexus for leading scholars delving into China’s multifaceted role in the global economy. By convening in central Berlin\, steps away from the governmental district and main railway station\, the conference also aims to foster dialogue between academic research and policy practice. This unique setting will facilitate exchange between researchers studying China’s economic impact and decision-makers shaping international economic relations. \nWe are honored to welcome two distinguished keynote speakers: Ruixue Jia (University of California San Diego) will speak on Geopolitics and Chinese Education and David Yang (Harvard University) will present on China: Autocracy 2.0. \nOther confirmed speakers include: Stephen Chaudoin (Harvard University)\, Mikko Huotari (MERICS)\, Ernest Liu (Princeton University)\, Heiwai Tang (Asia Global Institute at the University of Hong Kong)\, Nancy Qian (Northwestern University)\, Larry Qiu (LNU)\, Claudia Steinwender (LMU)\, Yifan Zhang (CUHK). \n  \nPreliminary program \n2nd_Kiel-Göttingen-CEPR_China_Conference_Program_2025_Public.pdf \nAndreas Fuchs is grateful for financial support by the VolkswagenStiftung in the framework of the Momentum project “Tapping innovative data sources to analyze the impact of authoritarian states on global development.” \n  \nOrganizers: \n•Andreas Fuchs (University of Göttingen & IfW Kiel) \n•Wan-Hsin Liu (IfW Kiel) \n•Lei Li (University of Göttingen) \n•Moritz Schularick (IfW Kiel) \n•Christoph Trebesch (IfW Kiel) \n•Xiaohua Yu (University of Göttingen) \n  \n\nConference Partners \n \n  URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/china-in-the-global-economy-2nd-kiel-gottingen-cepr-conference/ LOCATION:Leibniz Association\, Chausseestraße 111\, 10115 Berlin\, Germany CATEGORIES:Conference,Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://www.cemeas.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/csm_China_in_the_Global_Economy_2025_neutral_5fc52492d9.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250715 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250717 DTSTAMP:20260512T200729 CREATED:20250630T193952Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250723T071730Z UID:13031-1752537600-1752710399@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Göttingen China Workshop on Globalization and Development DESCRIPTION:Göttingen China Workshop on Globalization and Development\n  \nJuly 15–16\, 2025 \nOrganized by Prof. Dr. Andreas Fuchs\, Prof. Dr. Lei Li\, Prof. Dr. Krisztina Kis-Katos\, and Prof. Dr. Xiaohua Yu \nWe are pleased to welcome international scholars to Göttingen for a two-day workshop focused on current research regarding globalization and development in China. \n\nProgram Highlights\nKeynote: “From Invention to Education: Impact of Technology Innovation on Human Capital Formation in China” (Prof. Yifan Zhang\, CUHK) \n  \nSessions Topics:\nInnovation and Talent Allocation \nTrade and Environment \nTrade and Development \nFirms in the Global Economy \n  \n Venues:\nJuly 15: Alte Mensa\, Wilhelmsplatz 3 \nJuly 16: Oeconomicum\, Room 0.211\, Platz der Göttinger Sieben 3 \n  \n Contact: Prof. Dr. Lei Li (lei.li@uni-goettingen.de) \n  URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/gottingen-china-workshop-on-globalization-and-development/ CATEGORIES:Conference,Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.cemeas.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/e1e8295a75184348b722d76e426174dc.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250519 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250522 DTSTAMP:20260512T200729 CREATED:20250507T204230Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260119T104821Z UID:12618-1747612800-1747871999@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:International Conference: Identity\, Ignorance\, and the Politics of the Self（May 19 & May 21\, 2025） DESCRIPTION:International Conference: Identity\, Ignorance\, and the Politics of the Self\n  \nDates: May 19 & May 21\, 2025 \nLocations: \n• May 19: Paulinerkirche\, Papendiek 14\, 37073 Göttingen \n• May 21: Historische Sternwarte\, Geismar Landstraße 11\, 37083 Göttingen \nOnline Option: YouTube Livestream  \n  \nThe University of Göttingen is pleased to host the international conference “Identity\, Ignorance\, and the Politics of the Self” on May 19 and 21\, 2025.

After the 20th Party Congress in October 2022\, China is shifting many of its policies to address these challenges. \nIn this era of change\, sustainable development is critical as it provides a framework to meet the present generation’s needs while preserving the ability of future generations to meet their own. With a rapidly growing global population and increasing demand for natural resources\, it is imperative to balance economic\, social\, and environmental considerations to ensure a stable and prosperous future for all. By tackling issues such as climate change\, poverty\, and inequality\, sustainable development can foster a more resilient and equitable society. \nAs we navigate a changing era characterized by technological advances like artificial intelligence\, globalization\, and shifting demographics\, sustainable development is becoming more relevant as a guide for policy-making and business practices.

The main purpose is to understand how they perceive their attachment to China politically\, culturally and ethnically and how the perception gradually changed after their experiences in Germany\, where they have learnt and developed different strategies to negotiate their identity and belonging. The study applies a combination of longitudinal method and the method of the biographical narrative interview which tracks 25 Chinese students’ lived experiences and processes of their change from their first semester until after they graduate from Germany\, in order to capture critical moments of their transitions. The dissertation provides longitudinal evidence to reveal the complex and multilayered nature of the changing progress of these students’ identity and also supports that students’ transcultural experiences in Germany which helped them “unlearn” a normalized concept of “Chineseness” assisted them to go beyond their state-bound national loyalty and postulate a potential transcultural position in today’s world. \n  \nShort Bio:\nI was born in Deyang\, Sichuan and obtained both my bachelor’s and master’s degree at Sichuan University.

Primarily drawing on writings of Mao Yuanyi (1594-1641)\, one of the most prolific writers of the period on military matters\, this study assesses how technologies\, animals\, and human labor enabled the overland transport of military provisions in late Ming society. A military strategist and advisor\, Mao participated in the Ming defense effort against the Jurchen troops in Liaodong in the early seventeenth century. In his seminal study on the conduct of war\, The Record of Military Preparedness (Wubeizhi)\, he extensively discussed the costs and benefits of the transport methods that were available at the time\, including wooden carts\, pack animals\, and water transport. Among the various methods considered in The Record of Military Preparedness\, Mao clearly favored what he called “human transport” (renyun)\, which exclusively relied on the labor of human bearers. By analyzing his writings on the transport of provisions and his forceful argument in favor of employing human labor\, this study not only illuminates the manner in which consideration over the duration and speed of transport entailed an appraisal of reliability over the long term. It also reveals how local communities in the Liaodong region became intricately involved in the planning and implementation of war in the late Ming period. \nFor an essay draft please contact us (assist@cemeas.uni-goettingen.de). \nShort Bio \nMasato Hasegawa received his PhD in History from Yale University in 2013 and previously taught Chinese\, Korean\, and East Asian history at the University of Oregon\, Columbia University\, and New York University. His research centers on the question of how individual lives intersected larger historical changes in borderlands in early modern East Asia. His dissertation\, “Provisions and Profits in a Wartime Borderland: Supply Lines and Society in the Border Region between China and Korea\, 1592–1644\,” examined the impact of cross-border wars on local society in the Chinese-Korean borderland during China’s political transition from the Ming to the Qing dynasty. Focusing on the wartime procurement and transport of provisions across the Chinese-Korean borders\, it analyzed the manner in which the logistics of cross-border military campaigns profoundly affected and disrupted the lives of individuals and the region’s agricultural cycle. He is currently revising his dissertation for publication and preparing a new project on the notion of reliability in connection with technologies\, animals\, and seasonality in the Sino-Korean borderland of the early seventeenth century. \nSource: https://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/users/mhasegawa \n  \nImage: Qi Jiguang 戚繼光 (1528-1588)\, Lianbing shiji zaji 練兵實紀雜集 [Miscellaneous notes concerning military training]\, fascicle 6\, leaf 22.

This conference will posit new questions about the formation of Chinese worldviews by focusing on historiography as its primary field of inquiry. It will investigate a variety of ways in which Chinese historians constructed and deconstructed temporal and spatial concepts such as “Asian\,” “Asiatic\,” and “China.” In that manner\, the workshop will also establish an exchange between the field of China studies and global and transregional studies. A cohort of leading scholars from China\, North America\, and Europe have already committed their participation in this event\, and Professor Ge Zhaoguang from Fudan University will deliver a key speech during the event. \nThe conference is jointly hosted by the Göttingen Department of East Asian Studies\, the Center for Modern East Asian Studies and the Academic Confucius Institute.

"Beyond the City Limits: Rethinking New Religiosities in Asia." DESCRIPTION:Summer School\nSummer School Göttingen SPIRIT 2016. “Beyond the City Limits: Rethinking New Religiosities in Asia.” \n18-22 July 2016. University of Göttingen\, Germany\nGöttingen Institute for Social and Cultural Anthropology (GISCA)\, Centre for Modern Indian Studies (CeMIS) & Centre for Modern East Asian Studies (CeMEAS) \nTheme\nWith the rapid urbanization across Asia\, with new cityscapes\, glittering skyscrapers\, shopping malls\, globalized forms of consumption it is easy to assume that cities are the primary sites for the production of the new. Indeed\, urbanity is often used as a synonym for modernity and Asian futures would appear to be increasingly urban. The study of religion is no exception\, and emergent trends\, practices and movements are often implicitly or explicitly connected with the city. For example\, new religious movements are commonly treated as distinctly urban phenomena that reflect middle class sensibilities and subjectivities\, concerns and consumption patterns. Moreover\, the rise of new religious forms is often understood as coming at the expense of the rural\, as when village mediumship practices are seen to give way to urban spirit cults\, or when so-called “forest monasteries” in Thailand increasingly find themselves in urban or peri-urban zones. \nBut if cities are the future\, is the country then the past? Does the focus on cities as sites of “the new” ignore the complex ways rural contexts\, settings and imaginaries are implicated and contribute to contemporary religious practice? And to what extent does the notion of “urban religion” implicitly depend on its “others”? Does it reproduce the urban/rural distinction as one of the “great divides”  (Latour 1993) that have been central to the experience of modernity? In truth\, it is increasingly difficult to sustain sharp distinctions between rural and urban. Across Asia\, increased mobility especially patterns of rural/urban migration and the spread of communications and transport technologies connect urban and rural settings like never before improved education rates have seen the rise of an increasingly sophisticated\, cosmopolitan and politically engaged rural population. Yet nationalist constructions of identity and modernizing discourses across Asia have at once denigrated the rural\, “the peasantry”\, as backwards and in need of “development” while at the same time valorizing them as embodying traditional values and the essence of national identities. Religion is similarly implicated in such discourses\, at times standing for the “other” of modernity\, at others functioning as the locus of ethnic or national identities. \nYet so-called urban and rural religious practices do not constitute two opposed spheres of activity but are interconnected in various ways. Indeed\, it is frequently the very notion of an opposition between city and country that facilitates interactions and networks that traverse urban and rural contexts. For example\, urban religious institutions may recruit ritual specialists from the countryside because they are seen to have retained “correct” knowledge and techniques that urban practitioners have lost (Davis 2016)\, or city dwellers may see rural settings as sites of spiritual potential and seek out sites of pilgrimage\, of refuge or retreat. \nThis Summer School takes up these issues and asks how the study of contemporary religious life in Asia can benefit from “thinking beyond the city”\, whether “the city” is understood as a spatial entity\, a site of enquiry\, or as an analytical category. It will call into question many of the assumptions that go along with the study of urban religiosity and will attempt to bring “the urban” explicitly into relationship with its various “others” – such as the “rural”\, “hinterland”\, “periphery”\, or “village”. Central questions include: How do patterns of pilgrimage\, travel and tourism\, or the circulation of religious symbols or objects connect “urban” and “rural”? How do religious networks and practices help particular actors – such as rural/urban migrants – to negotiate tensions between their rural and urban lives? How do notions of nostalgia and pastness figure in projects of urban religio-spiritual renewal? How do dialectics of religion\, secularity and rationality play out in rural/urban spaces? And to what extent does the notion of an urban/rural divide itself inform religious practices and imaginaries? A final avenue of questioning focuses on the hierarchization of city and country and the relative superiority and agency attributed to the former. Just as postcolonial and critical theory have\nchallenged discourses that contrast a dynamic and active occident with a relatively static\, passive orient\, the Summer School will critically examine the manner in which similar distinctions between city and country have inflected the study of religion in Asia. It will ask how “provincializing” the city can lead to new insights and approaches that can reveal blindspots and draw attention to power differentials in Asian societies. The purpose would be to challenge the processes of othering that assign a relatively passive or reactive role for the countryside and to instead draw attention to the agency of rural actors\, to alternative imaginaries of the future\, and to ask what role religion plays in specifically rural modernities. \nThe summer school thus invites participants to engage with\, and develop\, their own work through an exploration of the way religion and spirituality intersect with three key themes: (1) traversing and transcending the rural/urban divide; (2) the city and its “others”; (3) provincializing the city. A range of international speakers has been invited whose collective expertise connects questions of rural/urban religiosities and critical engagements with the category of “the city” in contemporary Asia. An innovative approach of this Summer School is to include both scholars who work on religion and those do not but whose research aims to critically engage with the category of “the city”. This combination of perspectives is expected to produce stimulating exchange and novel insights. \nSpeakers will include: \n\nProf. Michael Herzfeld\, Harvard University\nProf. Ursula Rao\, Leipzig University\nProf. Christina Schwenkel\, UC Riverside\nProf. Julia Huang\, National Tsing Hua University\, Taiwan (tentative)\nDr. Radhika Gupta\, Göttingen University\n\nProf. Herzfeld will provide a public keynote as well as a general workshop on successful thesis writing. Podium discussions and morning lectures will provide theoretical frames and ethnographic snapshots from diverse Asian contexts. In addition\, students will participate in small working and reading groups moderated and mentored by each of the invited speakers over the course of the School. Mandatory readings for these sessions will be shared in advance. Participants will have the opportunity to introduce their own work in working groups\, to connect their research to each of the three theme blocs\, in order to develop new ideas and learn new approaches for their own work. \nHighlights of the cultural program include: \n\nA visit to the historic Bodenwerder synagogue from 1825\, which was translocated to Göttingen in 2006 to find out about the transformation of religious sites in a local context.\nA city tour\, including guided tours of historically significant cemeteries.\n\nAbout the organizers\nGISCA\, CEMIS and CeMEAS are key institutions building research\, network and outreach capacities in the study of religions at Göttingen Research campus (GRC). Bringing together scholars in the social sciences and humanities for inter-disciplinary dialogue\, they in particular foster an appreciation of regional diversity and intra- and cross-regional entanglements in Asia. With GISCA’s expertise in the anthropology of Southeast Asia and CEMIS and CeMEAS core competence in South and East Asia respectively\, these centers complement each other\, join creative forces and pool their excellent academic networks to organize this Summer School. \nContact\nKarin Klenke at karin.klenke@cemis.uni-goettingen.de\nhttps://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/531996.html URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/summer-school-gottingen-spirit-2016-beyond-city-limits-rethinking-new-religiosities-asia-2/ LOCATION:Kulturwissenschaftliches Zentrum (KWZ) CATEGORIES:Conference,Lecture,Workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160718T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20160722T180000 DTSTAMP:20260512T200729 CREATED:20160705T114645Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160705T114645Z UID:4283-1468828800-1469210400@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Summer School Göttingen SPIRIT 2016.

In the past and present\, language planning agencies in the area commonly – if not uncontroversially – referred to as “Greater China” have responded differently to the challenges of multilingualism. After several decades of national language policy\, Mandarin is now widely used and broadly accepted in Mainland China\, Singapore\, and Taiwan. It is used to a much lesser degree in Hong Kong and Macao\, where Cantonese\, the major regional language\, arguably enjoys a higher prestige than other so‐called “dialects” elsewhere. At the same time\, there are notable differences with regard to international language planning – most important\, the incorporation of English into school curricula and/or the acceptance of English as an official language. \nOne purpose of the symposium is to bring together scholars who are working on language planning and official responses to language diversity. Another purpose is to compare the effects of language planning and the manifestations of language diversity in the daily lives of the speakers. Lastly\, we aim at situating the conference theme in a historical context. The reason behind this historical contextualization is to find out to what extent language-related phenomena are imbedded in Chinese traditions\, and to what extent they can be accounted for by analytical approaches that are not bound to Chinese culture and/or history. Topics include language contact phenomena (e.g.\, code mixing)\, multilingualism in classrooms\, language variation and language use in the media\, and nonofficial language ideologies and activities of language revivalist groups. \nKeep updated here\n \n  \n  URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/l/ LOCATION:Historical Observatory\, Geismar Landstraße 11\, Göttingen CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20150202T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20150202T173000 DTSTAMP:20260512T200729 CREATED:20150127T083342Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150127T083342Z UID:3607-1422889200-1422898200@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:2.

However\, knowledge transfer is complex due to the difficulties in defining\, storing and circulating knowledge. This challenge increases even more when knowledge is transferred across national\, cultural and linguistic borders. Despite the importance of the topic\, prior research has been fragmented and sometimes inconclusive\, partly due to disciplinary boundaries. The two keynote speakers address these challenges from their respective academic backgrounds\, neurobiology and international business. \nKeynotes by\nProf. Dr. Atsushi Iriki (RIKEN Brain Science Institute\, Wako City\, Japan)\nEvolutionary Biology of the Human Mind\nProf. Dr. Markus Pudelko (International Business\, University of Tübingen)\nKnowledge Transfer in Multinational Cooperations URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/3567/ LOCATION:Assembly Hall\, Wilhelmsplatz 1\, Göttingen\, 37073 CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20141127T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20141127T180000 DTSTAMP:20260512T200729 CREATED:20141028T104542Z LAST-MODIFIED:20141028T104542Z UID:3457-1417093200-1417111200@www.cemeas.de SUMMARY:Tiananmen then and now DESCRIPTION:Tian’anmen Then and Now: Memories and Legacies\nNovember 27\, 2014\n13:00 – 18:00\nHistorical Building of the State and University Library Göttingen\nLecture Hall\nGöttingen\, Am Papendiek 14\, 37073 Göttingen \n \n \nTo explore various dimension of this grave moment in reform-era China\, we are bringing together many of the world’s leading authorities on Tian’anmen\, including Rowena He (Harvard University)\, Wu Guogang (University of Victoria)\, Chang Ping (journalist and author)\, Louisa Lim (University of Michigan)\, Jackie Sheehan (University College Cork)\, Patricia Thornton (University of Oxford)\, Frank Pieke (Leiden University) and Felix Wemheuer (University of Cologne). \nPlease click here for detailed program information.  \nSpeakers:\nProf. Rowena Xiaoqing He (Harvard University)\n Prof. Wu Guoguang (University of Victoria)\n Louisa Lim (University of Michigan\, NPR-National Public Radio)\n Chang Ping (journalist and author) \nCommentators:\n Prof. Felix Wemheuer (Universität Köln)\nProf. Patricia Thornton (University of Oxford)\n Prof. Jacqueline Sheehan (University College Cork)\n Prof. Frank Pieke (Leiden University) \nPhoto:  Alan Yeh CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 https://flic.kr/p/8cvdxy (picture detail)\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.cemeas.de/event/tiananmen-now-2/ CATEGORIES:CeMEAS Podium,Conference END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
