SUMMARY:The 17th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:100 Years of CCP History – 100 Jahre KPCh History in three keys: The Cultural Revolution as event\, memory\, and theory\nResearch Salon & Discussion\nTime:  June 22\, 2021\, 6-8 p.m. (CEST)\nZoom link: https://s.gwdg.de/6OYGsF \n  \nLooking at 100 years of CCP history\, the Cultural Revolution emerges as a key event in post-49 history. The idea is that understanding the Cultural Revolution is crucial to understanding both the Maoist period and the post-Maoist period of CCP history. In no socialist country has the leader of the Communist Party dared to mobilize the population against the Party\, and to some degree\, it is still a mystery that the CCP survived this attack. Mr Cui Jinke\, doctoral student from the University of Vienna\, will introduce insights from his doctoral project on factionalism in CCP history\, and Susanne Weigelin-Schwiedrzik as well as Sascha Klotzbücher will discuss his findings in the context of research strategies that focus on memory and theoretical approaches to explaining the Cultural Revolution. \n\nPresenter: Cui Jinke (University of Vienna)\nModerator: Sascha Klotzbücher (University of Göttingen)\nDiscussants: Susanne Weigelin-Schwiedrzik (University of Vienna) &\nFelix Wemheuer (University of Cologne) \n  \nPancake and Ladder: Inside Local Factional Politics during the Cultural Revolution\nCui Jinke (University of Vienna) \n The Cultural Revolution (CR)\, known as the Ten Years of Chaos\, is the most sustained and intensive factional struggle in the 100-year history of the Chinese Communist Party. However\, the official party history records tend to be silent and vague on the content of factional politics\, especially when it comes to the local levels of the political process. Moreover\, the lack of local sources makes it more difficult to analyze its variety outside the center. On the local level\, do the factional conflicts occur inside the rebel groups\, or between the rebels and the conservatives supported by the army? Is it a game of “the winner takes it all”\, or is it a “balance of power” game? By analyzing the primary sources from the process\, oral history records\, and local chronicles from Shandong province\, this presentation will show that policy reversals have repeatedly occurred in the process of local factional politics (called turn over pancakes翻烙饼 during the CR). A typical factional circle starts with a crisis initiated as a result for a certain central political agenda.  Then a specific group is mobilized to attack selected targets. When the crisis rises to a certain level\, the campaign initiator intervenes on behalf of the criticized target and offers a way out. This tactic is described as “setting aladder架梯子“. Through this method\, the campaign initiator tries to gain the gratitude and loyalty from those factions which had been under attack. In local factional practice\, the optimal solution\, i.e that the winner takes it all\, was rarely achieved. Instead\, usual procedure is constant internal split and repeated balancing of power. This finding will contribute to understanding the complicated local factional political process in CR. \n  \nCui Jinke崔金珂 is a PhD student at the Department of East Asian Studies – Sinology (University of Vienna). He obtained her MA at Peking University\, majoring in the History of the CCP. For his research on the Cultural Revolution Cui Jinke conducted fieldwork in Shandong and Shanxi provinces\, collecting local archival materials and conducting oral history interviews since 2013. \nOrganizers:\nCentre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Göttingen\, Lehrstuhl für Moderne China Studien\, Universität zu Köln \nPicture: Cui Jinke

SUMMARY:The 16th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The Shifting Relationship between Classics and History: Constructing Historical Continuity in Republican China\n  \n  \n\n\nPresenter:\nFelix Erdt (University of Göttingen\, Department of East Asian Studies) \nCommentators:\nProf. Viren Murthy (Associate Professor of History\, University of Wisconsin-Madison)\nDr. Phil. Dr. rer. Med. Dominique Hertzer (Guest Researcher at the Centre for Modern East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen) \nTime: Wednesday\, September 30\, 4 pm – 5.30 pm\nJoin us via Zoom\, no prior registration required:\n https://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/j/94054360676?pwd=UzZZWWpCdlQ4a2RQd3JRWktUTXpaUT09\nConvener & host: Katja Pessl \nAbstract:\nIn this dissertation project\, I investigate how scholars in Republican China tried to construct continuity between the modern epoch and the Confucian past in the context of the intrusion of Western notions of historical progress.\nI focus on three scholars from the Sichuan province\, Liu Xianxin (1896-1932)\, Meng Wentong (1894-1968) and Li Yuancheng (1909-1958) who reinterpreted the relationship of classics and history in their historiographical writings in different ways.\nStrongly influenced by Daoist thinking\, Liu held a cyclical view of history and therefore believed in a future turn that will overcome modernity according to logic of the changing “propensity of times“ . Meng supposed a development of Confucianism through history which culminated in the utopian ideas of an ideal society of the western Han scholars and can served as a blueprint for revolutionary transformation of Chinese society. Li emphasized Confucianism as the core of the cultural identity of Chinese people. Confucianism was constantly changing throughout history and was adjusted to different historical circumstances. \nFelix Erdt:\nSince March 2017 I am a doctoral candidate and research assistant at the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Göttingen. My research interests include conservatism\, the idea of progress in history and modern Chinese historiography with a focus on late Qing and Republican China. In my PhD I conduct research about Chinese conservatism.I hold a Bachelor degree in East-Asian Studies/China and History\, and a Master degree in Modern Sinology from Georg-August-University Göttingen/Germany. As a part of my studies I spent one year each at the Beijing Foreign Studies University and at the National Chengchi University in Taiwan. In my Master-Thesis I researched Liu Xianxin’s criticism of the idea of progress in history. \nViren Murthy\nMy work probes the historical conditions for the possibility of philosophy and politics in the modern world and in East Asia in particular. I am generally interested in the attempts of East Asian intellectuals to resist modernity through reviving premodern philosophies and religions\, such as Buddhism. My first book\, The Political Philosophy of Zhang Taiyan: The Resistance of Consciousness\, shows how in early 20th century China\, Zhang Taiyan\, drew on Consciousness-Only (Yogācāra) Buddhism to formulate a theory of revolution. In particular\, the book explains how this seemingly ancient body of knowledge is reformulated as China was incorporated into the global capitalist system of nation-states. My more recent project\, tentatively entitled\, “Imagining Asia: Takeuchi Yoshimi and the Conundrums of Asian Modernity\,” examines how philosophies of resistance intersect with visions of transnational identity and hopes for an alternative future. The historical context for this second work continues to be the fundamental transformations in conceptions of space and time associated with spread of global capitalism and how such changes affect the way intellectuals in East Asia conceive of political alliances\, strategies and futures. In this context\, the project not only concerns the manner in which Takeuchi re-imagines the politics of Asian identity\, but also how such imaginaries relate to attempts to imagine a different world by Marxists in Japan and elsewhere in East Asia. The project about Asianism also has an important contemporary dimension and in this context I interrogate the work of various proponents of Asianism\, such as Baik Yong-soe\, Kuan-hsing Chen\, Sun Ge and Wang Hui. \nDominique Hertzer\nDominique Hertzer hat im Fach Sinologie über den Text des Buches der Wandlungen (Yijing) aus dem Grabfund von Mawangdui promoviert und im Fach Geschichte der Medizin mit einer Untersuchung zum unterschiedlichen Verhältnis von Leib und Seele im Abendland sowie Geist und Körper in China.

SUMMARY:The 15th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 15th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon:\nCloser to the self while far from home: A longitudinal study about the experiences of students from People’s Republic of China in Germany\n\n  \nPlease RSVP for the event via Ms Kara Blumenthal at assist@cemeas.uni-goettingen.de. \nPresenter:\nLili Jiang (University of Göttingen\, Department of East Asian Studies)\n\nCommentators:\nDr. Jesús Pineda (Scientific coordinator and researcher\, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)\nDr. Sascha Klotzbücher (Acting Chair\, Society and Economy of China\, University of Göttingen) \nModerator: \nKatja Pessl (Centre for Modern East Asian Studies) \n\nTime: Tuesday\, 07.07.2020\, 6 pm (c.t.) – 7:30 pm\nVenue: Online via Zoom \n\nAbstract:\nThis dissertation explores the changes in Chinese master students’ identity and their sense of belonging during the years of their stay in Germany. 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. I studied applied linguistics and bilingual education in Chengdu\, New York\, Uppsala and Goettingen. Before coming to Goettingen for my PhD program\, I taught Chinese to international students at Sichuan University and Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu.

SUMMARY:The 14th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 14th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon:\nMeasuring Reliability in the Wartime Transport of Provisions: The Case of Mao Yuanyi (1594-1641) \n  \n  \nPresenter: Masato Hasegawa (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science)\nCommentators: Dr. Charlotte Backerra\, Dr. Julia Schneider \nTime: Tuesday\, 11.06.2019\, 4 pm (c.t.) – 6 pm\nVenue: VG 2.101\, University of Göttingen\n \n  \nAbstract \nThis paper examines the notion of efficiency and reliability in the wartime transport of provisions during the late Ming period. 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.

SUMMARY:The 13th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 13th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon:\nMixed Identities in Northeast Chinese Borderlands: Koreans in Liaodong in the 15th to 17th centuries\n  \nPresenter: Hanning PIAO (Fudan University\, Shanghai)\nCommentators: Yan JIN (Department of East Asian Studies\, Göttingen) & Dr. Julia C. SCHNEIDER (Department of East Asian Studies\, Göttingen) \nTime: June 4\, 2019\, 4-6 pm\nVenue: KWZ 0.701 (meeting room\, Department of East Asian Studies) \n  \nAbstract: \nMigration has existed throughout the history of human beings\, affecting the identities of migrating peoples and the societies they migrate into. Before the world has been overwhelmed by modernization\, national states and globalization\, how did migratory people perceive themselves and how were they perceived by others? Were there clear boundaries between “Us” and “Them”\, “Self” and “Others”? Was identity pure and stable or mixed and fragile? \nIn my presentation\, I will discuss these questions by examining the case of Koreans who migrated to Liaodong in the 15th to 17th centuries. In case of the Korean migrants\, identities turn out to be unstable\, mixed and entangled. \n  \n \n(Image by Hanning Piao) \n  \nShort CV: \nSince 2017\, Hanning PIAO is a Master student at the Department of History\, Fudan University.

SUMMARY:The 12th East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:Theorizing the Current Global Order in the Era of Globalization\, Regional Integration and the Resurgence of Nationalism:\nGlobal China\, Regional EU\, and National US?\nXiao (Alvin) Yang\, University of Kassel \nTuesday\, 16.01.2018\, 18:00 (c.t.) – 20:00\, KWZ 0.701\n \nCommentators\nDr. Armin Müller\, University of Göttingen \nProf. Dr. Sarah Eaton\, University of Göttingen  \n  \nAbstract: \nWhy has China become the defender of globalization whereas the US\, who is supposed to be the defender of globalization\, has turned towards more nationalist and inward-looking direction? Moreover\, why is European Union\, the model for regional integration\, not only facing economic\, financial and migration crises\, but also the crisis of the resurgence of nationalist movements within its member states?  This dissertation aims to theorize the current global order after 2008 where there is an on-going contradictory and simultaneous process of globalization\, regional integration and the resurgence of nationalism. It theorizes the relationships among China\, the EU and the US in relation to their respective domestic conditions\, with a particular focus on the bilateral Sino-American and Sino-EU relations. \nMoreover\, it goes beyond the European-Americano-centric international relations(IR) and global political economy (GPE) theories by bringing in non-Western IR/GPE theories. Particularly\, it situates in the theoretical discourse and engages with the research programs of the emerging Chinese IR theories. It critically and systematically carries out literature review on both Western and Chinese IR/GPE theories and their respective critiques by selecting each work (e.g. journal article\, book) based on a set of criteria\, such as the relevance to the research questions\, the level of intellectual and policy influence\, and uniqueness of a theory.  How these competing theories conceptualize hegemony\, the relationship between a hegemonic power and a rising power\, the notions of international relations and global order are compared and contrasted and then synthesized in order to shed light upon the current global order. Furthermore\, it systematically reveals the underlying epistemological\, ontological\, methodological and historical assumptions of these theories to illustrate how and why they interpret the same phenomena differently as well as to bridge these assumptions to make fruitful analyses. \nTo test these competing theories\, a set of hypotheses are generated from their respective theoretical implications and predictions. Subsequently\, these hypotheses are tested on different institutional dimensions by critically examining the foreign policy of China\, EU\, and the US\, as well as applying set theory to analyze their respective bilateral and multilateral trade arrangements and security configurations. They are further substantiated by macro indices\, such as flows and trends of trade\, investment\, capital\, and currency.  Furthermore\, China’s Belt and Road initiative (B&R)\, formerly named as One Belt One Road (OBOR)\, is chosen to be the main case study. Finally\, this dissertation aims to construct and develop a holistic theoretical and conceptual framework that encompasses politico-economic and socio-cultural dimensions to theorize the current global order. \nAbout the presenter: \nXiao (Alvin) Yang is currently a PhD Candidate in Political Science at the University of Kassel in Germany.  His dissertation aims to theorize the current global order by focusing on international relations among and within East Asia\, Europe and North America where there are on-going tensions among globalization\, regional integration and the resurgence of nationalism. He holds a master degree in Chinese European Economics and Business from the Berlin School of Economics and Law and a master degree in International Business from the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in China. He also holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music with honours at York University in Canada. Furthermore\, he studied political science\, business management and anthropology at Stockholm University\, explored sociology at University of Toronto\, studied German at Heidelberg Universität\, Humboldt Universität and München Universität\, as well as French at Université Jean Monnet in France\, Western University at Trois-Pistoles and Laval Université in Quebec. \n  \nIf you want to learn more about Alvin Yang’s PhD project\, you can contact us for an extended abstract of his work.\ncemeas@uni-goettingen.de  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The 11th East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 11th East Asia Research Salon\nBullets coated with sugar: Anticorruption and moralising in the Chinese Communist Party\nWednesday\, February 1st\, 16:00 – 17:30\, KWZ 0.701\nCarolin Kautz\, MA\, Assistant Professor\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nCommentators:\nDr. Armin Müller\, Department of East Asian Studies\nProf. Dr. Tobias Lenz\, Department of Political Science \n \nIntroduction:\nIn late 2016 in the context of Xi Jinping’s anticorruption campaign\, the CCTV published a TV series entitled “Always on the Road” (Yongyuan zai lushang永远在路上) that is portraying the ongoing fight of the Chinese Communist Party against corruption and for the progress of society. Among others\, it features prominent CCP cadres having been sentenced for corrupt activities and making self-confessions in front of the camera with former deputy party secretary of Sichuan Province\, Li Chunchen\, tearfully apologising to the party and the people for his offences. This TV series is to be seen within the broader political context of a large-scale anticorruption campaign that has taken down cadres for a multitude of breaches of discipline. This research project aims to see anticorruption and discipline enforcement in the CCP from a significantly enlarged angle and more broadly asks how the Communist Party tries to enforce upon its members its far-reaching discipline standards that also cover very private behaviour.\nFor this goal\, official government publications and newspaper reporting during anticorruption and party rectification campaigns are analysed. It is hypothetically argued that two main tools are used as means of discipline enforcement\, similar to the principle of carrots and sticks\, with one tool being the referral to punitive measures and the other one the attempt to create an elitist sense of belonging and commitment of its members to the party. For this argument\, Benedict Anderson’s model of ‘imagined communities’ is planned to be borrowed and adapted to analyse how the CCP aims to form a disciplined\, coherent and committed cadre corps able to cope with the various challenges the CCP has been facing throughout its history of a revolutionary and later ruling party. \nCarolin Kautz studied sinology and political science in Göttingen and at the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) and in 2015 received her MA from the University of Göttingen. Since October 2015\, she works as an assistant professor at the Department of East Asian Studies in Göttingen and has begun a research project on corruption in China. Her research interests include the Chinese Communist Party\, ideological debates and the legitimacy of political rule as well as challenges to it.

SUMMARY:The 9th East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 9th East Asia Research Salon\nPeng Tsintsin\nBetween Faith and Truth: The Historical Writing of Buddhism in Modern China\nMarch 7\, 2016\, 5 pm\nKWZ\, Conference Room 0.701\, Heinrich- Düker- Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen \nAbstract:\nThe historical writing of Buddhism in modern China\, as one part of the revival of Buddhism and reform of historiography\, developed under the dual impact of Chinese scholarly traditions and Western intellectual trends. Most outstanding historians and Buddhist scholars such as Hu Shi\, Chen Yinque\, Tang Yongtong\, Lü ​Chen\, were all attracted by this topic. Due to their different historical viewpoints and religious commitments\, this branch of study quickly gained in diversity and complexity\, closely linked with almost every significant phenomenon in the process of the modernization of Chinese scholarship. \nMy research is mainly focused on the modern historical expression of Buddhism\, seeking to illustrate why Buddhism became the object of historical writing at this particular moment; how it was organized\, formed an academic ​discipline and gained legitimacy in the new knowledge system and ideological orders. I also want to show how the historiographical developments ​influenced Buddhism\, which tried by way of​ control​ling or modifying its resources and discourses and by adapting to the historical framework\, to fit in the modern category of “religion”. \nPeng Tsintsin has been a PhD candidate at the Centre of Modern East Asian Studies (CeMEAS)\, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen\, Germany since 2013. The title of her dissertation is “Between Faith and Truth: Historical Writing of Buddhism in Modern China”. She is further conducting a research project under the title “The Historiography of Buddhism in Late Qing and Republican Era”. \nThe paper is available to interested participants via Email.

In the process of transferring Western legal concepts and embedding them in China’s history\, Yang developed his own understanding of these concepts. By searching for forerunners in China’s history he\nargued against the idea of the West as the only possible judicial paradigm\, and\ninstead looked for indigenous traditions to be re-interpreted in order to suit the purpose of his ideology. In my dissertation project\, I research Yang Honglie’s understanding of concepts such as the principle of equality or an independent judiciary and how he put them into a Chinese context; and his overall vision for the future of China’s legal system. \n \n  \nBritta Büermann studied Chinese Studies at the University of Würzburg.

DESCRIPTION:The 7th East Asia Research Salon\nDavid Reitemeier\n“Managing moral hazard and collective action problems in East Asian financial regionalism: End of the Road for the ASEAN-Way?”\nMarch 10\, 2015\, 5pm\nKWZ\, Heinrich- Düker- Weg 14\, CeMEAS Conference Room 0.701 \nAbstract:\nThe multilateralization of the Chiang Mai Initiative in 2009 in the wake of the global financial crisis marked an important step in the development of financial regionalism in East Asia.\nPotential spill over effects in other areas of East Asian regionalism or a development towards an East Asian Monetary Fund have been topics of academic debate ever since. I argue\, however\, that not enough attention has been paid to moral hazard and collective action problems in this debate. How China and other East Asian countries deal with these challenges can tell us a great deal about the chances for further progress in East Asian regionalism and about the nature of the regional institutions. Coming from a historical institutionalist perspective I plan to further elaborate on this notion\, focusing especially on regional surveillance and emergency lending mechanisms. Pending further research I argue that it is difficult for the East Asian region to manage moral hazard and collective action problems due to the nature of the ASEAN -Way and China’s role in the region. In the absence of successful management of these challenges\, the regional financial institutions are in danger of becoming mere talking shops. \nIn his research David focuses on regionalism and regional instiutions in East Asia as well as on Chinese foreign and econmic policy and political decision making processes.\nSince 2014: Research associate at the Department for East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen and PhD student at the University of Bochum.

Contested social spaces of migrant workers in Shanghai.”\nDate: July 15\, 2014\, 6.15pm-7.30pm\nPlace: CeMEAS-Meeting Room\, KWZ-Building\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\n \nAbstract:\nThe growing mass protests and movements of migrant workers in China have become a highly focused issue for years. They are described either as “contesting citizenship in urban china” (Solinger 1999) or as “the making of a new working class” (Chan and Pun 2009). In my dissertation\, these phenomena will be understood in connection with citizenship\, mobility regime and the production of social spaces from a critical perspective. In reference to the concepts of “act of citizenship/doing citizenship”\, “differential inclusion” and “ethnographical border regime analysis” from critical migration and citizenship studies\, this work will focus on the social processes\, how urban citizenship in Shanghai is emerging in contestation and conflicts. In what way do the local governments make policy and use strategies to include migrant workers with gradated status of “urban citizen”? How do the migrant workers in Shanghai practice urban citizenship and claim their rights in daily life and workplace? Furthermore\, how are urban spaces produced and negotiated through the assemblage of these multi-scale practices? The research is based on empirical fieldwork in Shanghai with mixed qualitative methods incl. narrative interviews\, participated observation and discourse analysis etc. The next fieldwork is planned for the upcoming autumn. \nJun Chu\nSince 10/2013 PhD candidate in Cultural Anthropology\, University of Göttingen\, Germany\nTitle of Dissertation: Urban citizenship\, mobility and border regime.

Especially manufacturing companies in China report turnover rates of 70 percent and above. Thus\, it is further necessary to deepen academic understanding of the mindset of blue collar workers\, specifically\, psychological and sociological aspects of voluntary turnover behavior among this cohort\, being the driving force of the Chinese economy. To get further insights into the topic\, I conducted interviews with blue collar workers and HR managers in China regarding work related issues\, especially asking them about influence factors of labor turnover decisions. Drawing on the knowledge I acquired in the interviews\, I am currently developing a survey which should enable me to answer the following research questions: What kind of incentives should the companies offer to make the blue collar workers stay? Which job characteristics are important for the blue collar workers regarding long-term retention? Is there a difference between the blue collar workers working in different regions or differing in demographic aspects? \nMarina Schmitz is research associate and doctoral student at the Chair for HRM and Asian Business at the University of Göttingen. She obtained her master in Sinology (Classical Sinology\, Economic Studies) at the University of Trier in 2012. In her research she focusses on retention of factory workers and the influence factors of labour turnover in China. \n  \nCeMEAS will provide coffee and light refreshments\, however feel free to bring along additional food and drinks.
