SUMMARY:Lessons for East Asia from Eastern Europe’s Economic Challenges and Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:Lajos Bokros\, Professor at Central European University and former Minister of Finance of HungaryMarcin Piatkowski\, Professor at Kozminski University\, author of Europe’s Growth Champion\, and former visiting scholar at Harvard’s Center for European StudiesDwight Perkins\, Professor Emeritus in the Harvard Economics Department\, former Director of the Fairbank Center and the Harvard Institute for International Development \n\n\n\nModerated by: Richard Yarrow\, Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School and Visiting Fellow at the National University of Singapore \n\n\n\nIn the 1980s\, Eastern European economies were stagnant or in decline. Mass shortages and unemployment combined with decaying institutions to throw economies and societies in turmoil. Three decades later\, Eastern Europe has transformed. Of the 23 countries to become high income since 1992\, nine are in Eastern Europe. In the 1980s\, Poland had a lower per capita GDP than Suriname; today\, the total GDP of the EU states in Eastern Europe is larger than the GDP of Russia. In much of the region\, corruption has declined\, while education\, health\, and other social and economic indicators have improved.How did these changes occur\, and what dilemmas did Eastern European countries encounter during the transformation of their economies and institutions? This webinar brings experts from across Eastern Europe to discuss causes behind Eastern Europe’s economic problems\, and the challenges of rejuvenating economies and institutions after the end of the Cold War. In doing so\, panelists will discuss the potential lessons that East Asian countries can learn from the challenges and successes of Eastern Europe’s economic reforms and transformation. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis event is the second part of a two-part series of panels. One can register for the first part\, on governing challenges\, at https://nus-sg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_IVgHUfzMQAiGAnef7aNwLQ?timezone_id=America%2FNew_York. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

In the dynamic period of political and cultural transformation\, the division and collision of different ideologies contributed to Zhang Kaiji’s architectural practice. In his 71 years of profession\, he synthesized different ideologies and design theories\, practiced with a wide range of typologies\, focused on various issues of the built environment\, and elevated the professional and technical exploration to a humanistic\, social and historical level. \n\n\n\nOn the occasion of the 110th anniversary of Mr. Zhang Kaiji’s birth and the upcoming release of the new book “Architect Zhang Kaiji”\, Harvard CAMLab China Builders Project launched this Academic Symposium. This event was academically convened by Professor Jeff Cody and Professor Wu Jiang. It is an honor to invite architect Chang Yung Ho\, son of Zhang Kaiji\, Professor Cheng Lizhen\, the author of “Architect Zhang Kaiji”\, Professor Lai Delin\, the foreword writer of “Architect Zhang Kaiji”\, and many other influential scholars. Starting from this new book\, we will focus on Zhang Kaiji’s influence on Chinese modern architecture and urban planning\, and more importantly\, the underlying social\, cultural and economic context in the 1950s\, as well as the meaning of “New Architecture for New China” in a broader context. \n\n\n\nSchedule:(120mins in total) \n\n\n\nPart I Introduction 10minsIntroduction to Harvard CAMLab\, Symposium\, Panelists\, Topic and Background \n\n\n\nPart II Panel Talk 55minsEach Convenor/Panelist will have 10 mins to address the topic with their related research. \n\n\n\nPart III Discussion and Q&A 45minsAcademic Convenors will summarize panel talks and start the discussion and the group dialogue. \n\n\n\nPart IV Event Summary 10mins \n\n\n\nSymposium in both Chinese and English with Simultaneous InterpretingThis virtual workshop is open to the public with registration.
