SUMMARY:Lecture:Changing Cultures and Sociospatial Restructuring in Urban China: Shanghai
DESCRIPTION:Lecture:Changing Cultures and Sociospatial Restructuring in Urban China: Shanghai\nDeljana Iossifova\, University of Manchester \nThursday\, December 5\, 2013  6 pm KWZ\, Room 0.602 \nThe talk explores closely linked processes of urban restructuring in China – rural-to-urban migration\, urban redevelopment (including demolition and resettlement) and the ‘worlding’ of cities – through the lens of sanitation infrastructure and practices. \nSanitation is here understood as a nexus between different spatial scales\, social groups and levels of governance. On the case of Shanghai\, the talk traces the evolution of sanitation infrastructure over time to illustrate the varying sanitation-related experiences and practices among different social groups in the contemporary city\, raising the following questions: How do sanitation practices and perceptions impact on both\neveryday life and long-term life trajectories? How do dissimilar groups and individuals negotiate their differing practices? How are different inequalities produced\, reproduced and\, potentially\, negotiated? How are policies and  practices on the ground linked with global economic and ecological processes? In this way\, the talk explores the\ncontemporary challenges faced by municipalities and urban dwellers alike and considers some likely consequences for the future of growing cities in China and beyond.

SUMMARY:LECTURE: U.S. Pivoting to Asia: Is there a real change in the American Foreign Policy towards China and the Asia- Pacific?
DESCRIPTION:LECTURE:\nU.S. Pivoting to Asia: Is there a real change in the American Foreign Policy towards China and the Asia-\n Pacific?\nMarcin Grabowski\, Jagiellonian University\nThursday\, December 12\, 2013\, 6 pm KWZ\, Room 0.603\n\n\nG.W. Bush’s policy towards Asia-Pacific region was often perceived and described as neglectful. Occupied with other regions\, especially Iraq and Afghanistan\, Bush couldn’t devote enough time and energy to develop U.S. relations with countries in East Asia and the Pacific or regional organizations. \n \nDeeper research show\, however\, the policy wasn’t as unfavorable\, as characterized in both dimensions – in case of U.S. relations with countries of the region\, we should look at improving relations with People’s Republic of China\, stronger alliance connections with Japan and Australia\, as well as solution of nuclear problem of India. In case of regional organizations – after many negligence of the first term (and a risk of being excluded from the region in case of successful development of the East Asia Summit)\, we could observe many beneficial initiatives. Barack Obama entered the White House bringing hopes of greater engagement in the Asia-Pacific Region\, what was reinforced by his advisors’ premises of U.S. foreign policy (Kurt Campbell). Also his engagement with regional powers (Strategic and Economic Dialogue with China)\, regional organizations (membership of the U.S. in the EAS\, support for the TPP) made his term Pacific presidency. It was reinforced by the H. Clinton’s statement that the 21st Century is America’s Pacific Century . The presentation tries to show certain real and sham dichotomies in the American foreign policy towards Asia and the Pacific\, including the role of the People’s Republic of China in the ‘American pivoting’.

SUMMARY:LECTURE: The Internationalization of China’s Uyghur Issues
DESCRIPTION:LECTURE:\nThe Internationalization of China’s Uyghur Issues\nJulie Yu-wen Chen\, University College Cork\nTuesday\,  December 17\,  2013 · 6 pm\, KWZ\,  Room 0.607 \nThis lecture explores the operation and coalition-building of Uyghur diasporic organizations in democratic countries. Since some Uyghur organizations have been lent notable legitimacy by liberal democracies and international governmental organizations\, they can no longer be considered merely splintered members of a far-flung diaspora locked in a one-sided struggle with Beijing. Uyghur activists can and do use their hard-won legitimacy as legal migrants and asylum seekers to influence politics in their host countries. \nAnd while they pose no direct security threat to the countries they presently reside in\, their use of democratic channels in their host countries serve to extend the Uyghur conflict into nations around the world. This study is a timely one\, as it shines a light on how an issue concerning a minority in China has been catapulted onto the wider global political stage. For instance\, Uyghur organizations have seized on the Obama administration’s pledge to close the Guantanamo Bay prison to boost global awareness of Uyghur issues and call on countries like Germany\, Switzerland and Australia to take in Uyghurs who they argue were “unjustly” detained at Guantanamo Bay.Whether the Uyghur lobby is capable of influencing these decisions\, which are matters that can only be decided by sovereign states\, is less important than the fact that Uyghur groups are able to successfully use the issue to raise their visibility.
