SUMMARY:Lecture： China and the World in 1900: Stories of the Boxers and the First Global War
DESCRIPTION:China and the World in 1900: Stories of the Boxers and the First Global War\nProf. Jeffrey Wasserstrom (UC Irvine)\n Wednesday\, 13.12.2017\, 18:00 (c.t.) – 20:00\,\nKWZ 0.609 \nAbstract:\nThis illustrated lecture\, entitled “China and the World in 1900: Stories of the Boxers and the First Global War\,” revisits the anti-Christian uprising and international invasion that convulsed the Qing Empire during the final year of the nineteenth century\, paying particular attention to the varied ways these events were understood in different places at the time and the diverse kinds of stories that have been told about them since. As different as the world of 1900 is from our own\, especially when it comes to China’s strength now as opposed to weakness then\, we can see in the Boxer uprising and the response by an Allied Army made up of soldiers from Germany\, Japan\, Britain\, the United States and four other nations and empires many intimations of many things to come in the troubled twentieth century that was about to start and in our own anxious age. \nShort bio:\nJeffrey Wasserstrom\, who received his master’s from Harvard and his PhD. From Berkeley\, is Chancellor’s Professor of History at UC Irvine\, where he edits the Journal of Asian Studies (term ending June 2018) and holds courtesy affiliations with the Law School and program in Literary Journalism.  He has written five books\, including Student Protests in Twentieth-Century China (1991) and Eight Juxtapositions: China through Imperfect Analogies from Mark Twain to Manchukuo (Penguin 2016).  He has edited or co-edited several others\, including\, most recently\, The Oxford Illustrated History of Modern China (2016).  In addition to writing for academic journals\, he has contributed to many general interest venues\, among them the New York Times\, the TLS\, and the Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB).  He is an advising editor at LARB and an academic editor of its associated China Channel. \n  \n  \nDesign & Image Selection: CeMEAS\nImage: ralph repo， Qing Court Return\, The Emperess Dowerger [1902] George E.

SUMMARY:Cancelled: Who cares about inequality in China? Public attitudes toward inequalities in access to health care
DESCRIPTION:Who cares about inequality in China?\nPublic attitudes toward inequalities in access to health care\n  \n  \nProf. Jane Duckett(University of Glasgow)\n Tuesday\, 12.12.2017\, 18:00 (c.t.) – 20:00\, T0.136 \nWe are very sorry to announce that the lecture is cancelled!  \n  \nAbout the letuerer:\nJane Duckett is Edward Caird Chair of Politics\, International Dean (East Asia)\, and Director of the Scottish Centre for China Research at the University of Glasgow. She is also Guest Professor at Nankai University (Tianjin\, China). In 2012 she received the Lord Provost of Glasgow Education Award. In 2014 she was elected President of the British Association for Chinese Studies. In 2016 she was elected a Fellow of the British Academy. \nProf Duckett’s early research on the Chinese state under market reform included a book-length study\, The Entrepreneurial State in China (Routledge\, 1998). It explained state business activities as the outcome of fiscal and staffing constraints on officials in an institutional context of poorly defined property rights. Jane also (with colleague Bill Miller) made a comparative study of public attitudes to openness in East Asia and Eastern Europe\, published as The Open Economy and its Enemies (CUP\, 2006). Her current research is concerned with the politics of China’s social policy making and implementation. She argues through studies across a range of social policies (on local social welfare financing\, health insurance\, poverty and unemployment)\, that the politics behind them and their enormous redistributive consequences make them central to the Chinese state’s marketising project. Her monograph\, The Chinese State’s Retreat from Health: Policy and the Politics of Retrenchment (Routledge\, hdbk 2011; pbk 2013) draws on comparative political theory to explain the Chinese state’s retrenchment in health care provision. She has also co-edited (with Beatriz Carrillo)\, China’s Changing Welfare Mix: Local Perspectives (Routledge\, 2011)\, a book that takes a local perspective on China’s evolving social welfare provision. She has recently published papers in Health Policy and Planning and Health Expectations that draw on a project to survey Chinese public opinion on health care. \n(Information from The University of Glasgow\, School of Social & Political Sciences) \n  \nDesign & Image Selection: CeMEAS\nImage: ReSurge International， doctor checking in patient，CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/3nrMwy

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. He is the author of Needs\, Reciprocity and Shared Function: Policy and Practice of Elderly Care in Urban China ( Shanghai Renmin Press\, 2008 )and Social Policy: Theories and Analytical Approaches ( Renmin University Press\, 2009 ) . He was the British Academy KC Wong Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford during November 2002- September 2003\, the Fellow at the Hanse Institute for Advanced Study (HWK)\, Delmonhorst\, Germany during December 2003- February 2004 and the JSPS Fellow at the University of Tokyo in October\, 2005\, Visiting Professor in the Department of Social Sciences & Humanities\, Jacobs University Bremen from November\, 2015 to December\, 2015\, Germany. In the past years\, he has published extensively in the field of social policy\, comparative welfare regimes\, social work\, NGOs and civil society. He is the editorial member of Asian Social Work and Policy Review (Wiley)\, Asian Education and Development Studies (Emerald) and the British Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies (UK). He was the faculty of 483rd Salzburg Global Seminar on “ Economic Growth and Social Protection in Asia ” held in Austria during 7th-12th November\, 2011. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDesign & Image Selection: CeMEAS\nImage: Samuel Vigier， Rural China\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/c3ix1b \n

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: Discovering Childhood and Paediatrics in Chinese History: Further Considerations
DESCRIPTION:Discovering Childhood and Paediatrics in Chinese History: Further Considerations\nProf. Hsiung Ping-chen\n (Chinese University of Hong Kong)\n 28. Nov.\, 18:00 – 20:00\, T0.136 \nAbstract: \nAs a reflection on thirty plus years of research on childhood and paediatrics in Chinese history\, this lecture intends to present further concerns after a systematic review\, in three parts:\nFirst\, a retrospective on the why’s and how’s of studying children and childhood in history\, the conceptual definition that the Chinese case had to start up with\, the categorical materials for the investigation\, the basic methodological questions to conduct the study with.\nSecond\, an in depth re-examination of the physical conditions in the beginnings of life \, and the role of traditional pedestrics in the Chinese and East Asian cultural linguistic world.\nThird\, further considerations are offered in way of world history\, interdisciplinary childhood studies\, and contemporary Chinese youth culture\, in this ongoing journey. \n  \n  \n  \nDesign & Image: CeMEAS

SUMMARY:Lecture: Gendered Religiosity: Patriarchal Structures and Women’s Agency in China
DESCRIPTION:Gendered Religiosity: Patriarchal Structures and Women’s Agency in China\nProf. Mayfair Yang (UC Santa Barbara)\n16. Nov.\, 18:00 – 20:00\, KWZ 0.602\nAbstract: \nThis lecture will examine how social structures of power\, such as patriarchal power\, depend on the vicissitudes of human agency to implement their principles\, opening them up to subtle shifts and reconfigurations in social practice (Anthony Giddens\, Pierre Bourdieu). Traditional religiosities\, whether Christian\, Islamic\, Buddhist\, or others\, are often seen to produce conservative agents of patriarchy\, in both men and women. Writing about the women’s Islamic piety movement in contemporary Egypt\, Saba Mahmood has criticized the narrow definition of women’s agency put forth by liberal Western feminism. She suggests that women’s agency cannot be understood or defined in terms of oppositionality\, critical discourse\, or rebellious acts\, but must also take into account the modesty\, self-effacement\, and self-sacrificing ethos of pious women. Here\, I will examine the non-oppositional religious agency of pious women in rural and small-town Wenzhou. Two divinities in particular\, the regional deity of Chinese popular religion\, known as Goddess Chen the Fourteenth\, and the Buddhist mother goddess Guan Yin\, inspire these women’s religious agency. However\, I depart from Mahmood\, who almost closes herself off from feminist inquiry\, by showing how local women have\, through their self-sacrifice\, religious leadership\, and religious transcendence\, carved out a public space and role for women. In the absence of feminism\, and without directly confronting or resisting patriarchal power\, women’s religious agency has made a social impact and brought changes in local society. \nShort bio: \nMayfair Yang received her Ph.D. in Anthropology from UC Berkeley. She has been a faculty member in the Anthropology Department at UC Santa Barbara\, and is now a Professor in Religious Studies Department and East Asian Studies Department there. Yang was Director of Asian Studies at the University of Sydney in Australia\, and has been visiting scholar at the University of Michigan\, University of Chicago\, Harvard University\, Academia Sinica in Taiwan\, Beijing and Fudan Universities in China\, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. She is the author of Gifts\, Favors\, & Banquets: the Art of Social Relationships in China\, and editor of Chinese Religiosities: Afflictions of Modernities & State Formation\, andPlaces of Their Own: Women’s Public Sphere in Transnational China. Her forthcoming book: Re-enchanting Modernity: Ritual Economy & Religious Civil Society in Wenzhou\, China (Duke University Press). She is also working on a second\, more theoretical book on Wenzhou religiosity and politics.

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: 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:Conceptions of the World in 20th-Century Chinese Historiography
DESCRIPTION:Conceptions of the World in 20th-Century Chinese Historiography\nTime: 26-27 October 2017\nPlace: Göttingen\, Germany\nOrganizer: Dr. Xin Fan\, State University of New York at Fredonia\n  \n \nOver the course of the twentieth century\, the constant writing and rewriting of history reflect aspects of the changing conceptions of the “world” in China.  Through various lenses – including but not limited to nation-states\, empires\, races\, civilizations\, cultures\, and classes – Chinese historians both creatively imagined global time and space and actively negotiated China’s position in it. 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. Outside sponsors: Volkswagen Foundation and Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \n  \nProgram: \n26 October 2017 \nKWZ 0.603 \n18:00 – 20:00 Keynote Speech \nGe\, Zhaoguang (Fudan University) \nGlobal Elements in Traditional Chinese Historiography (in Chinese) \n  \n27 October 2017 \nHistorische Sternwarte \nGeismar Landstr. 11\, 37083 Göttingen \n9:00 – 9:15 Opening Remarks \nFan Xin & Dominic Sachsenmaier \n9:15 – 11:15 Panel I \nMaking Sense of China and the World During the Early 20th Century \nChair: Sabine Dabringhaus (Freiburg) \nHon\, Tze-ki (The City University of Hong Kong) \nLocating China in the World: Newspapers and Textbooks in Late Qing Period \nSchneider\, Julia (Göttingen University) \nWriting a General History of China (Zhongguo tongshi): Thinking about Ethnicity in Early Nationalist Historiography \nStapleton\, Kristin (University at Buffalo) \nPopular History from the Pope of Thick-Black Studies \n11:15 – 11:45 Coffee Break \n11:45 – 13:00 Panel 2 \nProblems of Regionalism\, Universalism and Localism \nChair: Xin Fan (SUNY Fredonia; Global Fellow) \nHan\, Xiaorong (Hong Kong Polytechnic University) \nSoutheast Asia in Twentieth Century Chinese Historiography \nSchneider\, Axel (Göttingen University) \nUniversal progress and particular history: Chinese engagement with concepts of universal history \n13:00 – 14:15 Lunch Break \n14:15 – 16:00 Panel 3 \nChinese World Historical Outlooks and Marxism \nChair: TBA \nFan\, Xin (SUNY Fredonia; Global Fellow) \nThe Forced Analogy: Marxism\, Historiography\, and the Chinese Worldview \nLiu\, Xiaoyuan (University of Virginia) \nThe Chinese Communist Understanding of the World through Tibet in the 1950s \n16:00 – 16:30 Coffee Break \n16:30 – 18:30 Panel 4 \nChallenges and Opportunities of Global Historical Scholarship \nChair: Dominic Sachsenmaier (Göttingen) \nChen\, Huaiyu (Arizona State University) \nThe Rise of the “Asian History” in Mainland China in the 1950s: A Global Perspective \nWang\, Q.

SUMMARY:Manchu in Global History: A Research Language for Qing Historians
DESCRIPTION:International Symposium:\nManchu in Global History:\nA Research Language for Qing Historians\nKeynote Lecture:\nManchu Sources and the Problem of Translation\nManchu in Global History:\nA Research Language for Qing Historians\nTime: September 19-22\, 2017\nPlace: KWZ 1.601\, University of Göttingen \n\nOrganisers:\nJulia C. Schneider (Department for East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen)\nKatja Pessl (Centre for Modern East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen) \n  \nManchu Sources and the Problem of Translation\nProf. Dr. Mark Elliott (Harvard University)\nSeptember 20\, 2017\, 4-6 pm (c.t.)\nKWZ\, Room 1.601/ 0.602 \nAs an ‘ethnic minority’ with origins in the semi-nomadic civilisations of northeast Asia(Manchuria)\, the Manchus successfully ruled Han-dominated China and extended the territory of the “Great Qing” (1636/1644-1912) far into Inner Asia\, including Mongolia\, Tibet\, and East Turkestan (Xinjiang). Thereby\, they created a wide corridor\, connecting many different peoples and cultures under their rule and beyond. \nThe University of Göttingen (Department of East Asian Studies & Centre for Modern East Asian Studies) will be hosting the workshop Manchu in Global History: A Research Language for Qing Historians. We invite paper proposals from prospective speakers who offer specific case studies as well as broader studies on Qing and Manchu history. \nProf. Dr. Mark Elliott is Mark Schwartz Professor of Chinese and Inner Asian History at Harvard University.  He is one of the most well-known historians of (New) Qing history and has published influential works such as Emperor Qianlong: Son of Heaven\, Man of the World (2009)\, also available in Korean (2012) and Chinese (2014)\, The Manchu Way: The Eight Banners and Ethnic Identity in Late Imperial China (2001)\, etc..\nClick here for more details about the manchu workshop \nImage: David Baron Folgen\,Sign above gate\, CC BY-SA 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/33JdAz

SUMMARY:The Beginning of the Century: A Reconsideration on the 20th Century in Chinese/Global History
DESCRIPTION:Lecture\n\nThe Beginning of the Century: A Reconsideration on the 20th Century in Chinese/Global History\nProf. WANG Hui (Tsinghua University)\n\nOrt: Adam-von-Trott-Saal\, Alte Mensa am Wilhelmsplatz\nDatum: 12.07.2017\, 18.00 – 20.00 Uhr\nOrganizers:\nAkademisches Konfuzius-Institut Göttingen &\nDepartment of East Asian Studies &\nMax Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity\n \n\nAbstract:\nAt the beginning of the 20th century\, the alien idea of century began to replace other traditional concepts of chronology in China and reshaped Chinese idea of time. Following the application of 20th century in Chinese context\, other related concepts such as 19th century\, 18th century and their sequence emerged as derivatives of 20th century. Before 1900\, the concept of century had almost not been discussed in this sense in China and never used as the self-consciousness of our era. The notion of century is closely connected with the 20th century\, its distinction from past eras being not just a simple temporal demarcation but an understanding of singular propensity of the time\, which render the history of the\nothers into a history of one’s own\, while situating it within history in toto for explanation and identification. This is the birth of global synchronicity in the history of China. How did intellectuals theorized the idea of 20th century? This talk will examine the birth of the notion of the 20th century in China from an intellectual history perspective and analyze its particular position in the history of China from the perspectives of time (history)\, space\, self-identification\, social ideals and etc.\n\nPresenter: \nWang Hui is a Changjiang Scholar Professor in the Department of Chinese Literature and the Department of History\, Tsinghua University\, and is Director of the Tsinghua Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences. His recent publications include China’s Twentieth Century (London/New York\, Verso\, 2016)\,  and China from Empire to Nation-State (two volumes) (Cambridge\, Mass: Harvard University Press\, 2014).\n

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: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: 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: 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: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: The 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture:\nThe 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party: a Quantitative Assessment\nVictor Shih\, University of California San Diego\nTuesday\, 06.06.2017\, 18:00 – 19:30\, VG 2.104\n \nCo-organizer: Department for Political Science \n \nAbstract:\nTwo important questions that can be asked about the 19th Party Congress\, scheduled to take place in the fall of 2017\, include who will take over key positions at the top of the party hierarchy and whether Party Secretary General Xi Jinping can dominate the upper echelons of the Communist Party.  Drawing from a quantitative biographical database of over 4000 Chinese political elite\, I first attempt to present some theoretical and machine learning predictions about who will enter the Politburo in the fall of 2017.  Then\, using the same data\, I assess whether Xi Jinping already dominates the Chinese Communist Party\, or whether that is still a goal he needs to achieve in the fall congress.\n\nAbout the lecturer:\nVictor Shih is an associate professor of political economy and has published widely on the politics of Chinese banking policies\, fiscal policies and exchange rates. He was the first analyst to identify the risk of massive local government debt\, and is the author of “Factions and Finance in China: Elite Conflict and Inflation.”\nPrior to joining UC San Diego\, Shih was a professor of political science at Northwestern University and former principal for The Carlyle Group.\nShih is currently engaged in a study of how the coalition-formation strategies of founding leaders had a profound impact on the evolution of the Chinese Communist Party. He is also constructing a large database on biographical information of elites in China.\n  \n  \nImage: neiljs\, Tiananmen Square Beijing\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/5TfkQz \n  \n

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: The 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party
DESCRIPTION:CeMEAS Lecture:\nThe 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party: a Quantitative Assessment\nVictor Shih\, University of California San Diego\nTuesday\, 06.06.2017\, 18:00 – 19:30\, VG 2.104 \nCo-organizer: Department for Political Science \n \nAbstract:\nTwo important questions that can be asked about the 19th Party Congress\, scheduled to take place in the fall of 2017\, include who will take over key positions at the top of the party hierarchy and whether Party Secretary General Xi Jinping can dominate the upper echelons of the Communist Party.  Drawing from a quantitative biographical database of over 4000 Chinese political elite\, I first attempt to present some theoretical and machine learning predictions about who will enter the Politburo in the fall of 2017.  Then\, using the same data\, I assess whether Xi Jinping already dominates the Chinese Communist Party\, or whether that is still a goal he needs to achieve in the fall congress.\n\nAbout the lecturer:\nVictor Shih is an associate professor of political economy and has published widely on the politics of Chinese banking policies\, fiscal policies and exchange rates. He was the first analyst to identify the risk of massive local government debt\, and is the author of “Factions and Finance in China: Elite Conflict and Inflation.”\nPrior to joining UC San Diego\, Shih was a professor of political science at Northwestern University and former principal for The Carlyle Group.\nShih is currently engaged in a study of how the coalition-formation strategies of founding leaders had a profound impact on the evolution of the Chinese Communist Party. He is also constructing a large database on biographical information of elites in China.\n  \n  \nImage: neiljs\, Tiananmen Square Beijing\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/5TfkQz \n  \n

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Nation and Ethnicity: Chinese Discourses on History\, Historiography\, and Nationalism (1900s-1920s)
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch\nNation and Ethnicity: Chinese Discourses on History\, Historiography\, and Nationalism (1900s-1920s) \nTuesday\, 02.05.2017\,18:00 – 19:30\, KWZ 0.701\nJulia C. Schneider\, University of Göttingen\n\nIn Nation and Ethnicity: Chinese Discourses on History\, Historiography\, and Nationalism (1900s-1920s) Julia C. Schneider gives an analysis of nationalist and historiographical discourses among late imperial and early republican Chinese thinkers. In particular\, she researches their approaches towards non-Chinese people within the Qing Empire and the question on how to integrate them into a Chinese nation-state. \nNon-Chinese people\, mainly Manchus\, Mongols\, Tibetans\, and Turkic Muslims\, (Uyghurs)\, have not been considered as important factors in the history of early Chinese nationalism so far. But Chinese nationalist and historiographical discourses tell not only a lot about the Chinese image of the Other\, but also shed new light on the images of the Chinese Self and its assumed ability to assimilate and integrate other ethnicities. \n  \n  \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.
