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 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 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: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
