SUMMARY:Manoranjan Mohanty - China’s Transformation: The Success Story and the Success Trap
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Manoranjan Mohanty\, Council for Social Development\, New Delhi\nChair: Prof. Elizabeth Perry\, Harvard University/Harvard-Yenching Institute \nThe book provides insights into the economic and social transformation that China has undergone from 1979 to the present. Based on the author’s research in China for over three decades\, China’s Transformation: The Success Story and the Success Trap shows how its ‘reform and open door’ policy evolved and helped achieve tremendous economic success. However\, it also generated serious social and environmental problems. The book presents that the consequences of this success story of growth are so strong that it has been difficult for China to change its main development path to achieve a desirable level of equity and sustainability. The author describes this as the ‘success trap’ that China is currently grappling with. The author argues that China’s reform path is grounded in the premises of the European Industrial Revolution backed by strong sociopolitical forces at home\, indicating that a major change in the development path is unlikely. However\, all indications point to a strong and prosperous China as a rising world power in the coming decades\, trying to cope with the sociopolitical problems in its own way. \nCo-sponsored by the Harvard-Yenching Institute and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/manoranjan-mohanty-book-talk-china-s-transformation-success-story-and-success-trap \n  \n

SUMMARY:Victor Seow - Energy Transitions amidst Regime Change: Mining Coal in the Early People’s Republic of China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Victor Seow\, Assistant Professor\, Department of the History of Science\, Harvard University \nThe decade after the revolution of 1949 witnessed a China that was being made anew. The material transformation of society and economy that had been the goal of preceding regimes was realized to a hitherto unseen degree in the industrial edifice raised by the socialist state. This was an achievement that rested upon a bedrock of fossil fuel energy. In line with centrally directed plans\, the coal that lay in abundance in multiple regions across China was unearthed in mounting quantities\, as Chinese engineers led the excavation of new mines and the introduction of new technologies and techniques\, from the longwall system to hydraulic mining. Yet for all the effort in pushing production\, supply did not seem to be able to catch up with demand\, and by the late 1950s\, China seemed to be facing a coal shortage. Part of the problem was that of thermal inefficiency: for most industrial processes\, Chinese engines\, furnaces\, and boilers were burning more coal than their British and American counterparts. This talk examines efforts by Chinese planners to expand coal output as part of what they saw as a race to outpace capitalist countries in industrial development\, and shows that it was not so much a failure of technology but the fixation on sheer volume that led to a low quality of coal produced\, which in turn compromised the efficiency of the socialist industrial enterprise. \nSponsored by Harvard-China Project on Energy\, Economy and Environment\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences

SUMMARY:Reconsidering Chinese Literature in the World: An International Symposium in Honor of Stephen Owen
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Harvard University Professor Stephen Owen’s retirement from teaching\, the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University and the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at Yale University will convene an international symposium on Chinese and comparative literatures on April 26 and 27\, 2018\, at Harvard University. Papers will span the many fields within which Professor Owen’s contributions have been felt\, and allow participants\, drawn from among Owen’s graduate advisees and from the top scholars of Chinese and comparative literature around the world\, to reflect upon the ways these fields have changed over the course of his long teaching career and the new directions in which they are developing\, and should develop\, in the years ahead. \nFor more information\, including a detailed agenda\, visit https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/rcl. \nThe conference will be conducted in English and Chinese. It is open to the public. \nSponsored by the Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange\, the Harvard University Asia Center\, the Harvard University Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, the Harvard-Yenching Institute\, and the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University.
