SUMMARY:Tamar Grozwald Ozery - Law and Political Economy in China: The Role of Law in Corporate Governance and Market Growth
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tamar Groswald Ozery\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Asian Studies\, Hebrew University of Jerusalem \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanelists:William P. Alford (moderator)\, Jerome A. and Joan L. Cohen Professor of Law\, Director of East Asian Legal Studies\, Chair of the Harvard Law School Project on Disability\, Harvard Law SchoolRui Guo\, Visiting Scholar\, East Asian Legal Studies\, Harvard Law SchoolNicholas C. Howson\, Pao Li Tsiang Professor of Law\, University of Michigan Law SchoolMariana Pargendler\, Professor\, Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) Law School; Professor of Law\, Harvard Law School (effective July 2024)Meg Rithmire\, F. Warren MacFarlanAssociate Professor\, Business\, Government\, and International Economy Unit\, Harvard Business School \n\n\n\nIn her new book\, Law and Political Economy in China: The Role of Law in Corporate Governance and Market Growth (Cambridge University Press\, 2023)\, Tamar Groswald Ozery takes a law & political economy approach to deconstruct the role of law in China’s market development since 1978. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for a book launch event featuring a panel of international corporate governance and China law experts. Professor Groswald Ozery\, Professor Rithmire\, and Dr. Guo will join Professor Alford in person. Professor Howson and Professor Pargendler will participate via Zoom. \n\n\n\nDiscussion will mainly focus on the role of formal law in governing markets during the “Legalized Politicization Era” (2010–present)\, the present era of market development in China. Covered extensively in the book\, the present era reveals a shift in China’s political–economic equilibrium. The authorities over governing markets are being reconfigured to handle the consequences of prior era state capitalism. Such reconfiguration of market governance is achieved through the mobilization of legal institutions in two main directions: intensifying the presence of the regulatory state in the market and shifting substantial market governance powers directly to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). \n\n\n\nBoxed lunch will be provided. \n\n\n\nTamar Groswald Ozery is an Assistant Professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, Israel. Previously\, she was a Grotius Fellow (Michigan Law)\, a Research & Teaching Fellow (Harvard Law)\, and the editor of the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance.

She is a frequent commentator on China’s legal system\, political economy\, and global economic integration; and has testified before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. Prior to academia\, she spearheaded the China department of a leading Israeli law firm. \n\n\n\nWilliam P. Alford (J.D. 1977) is Jerome A. and Joan L.

SUMMARY:Meg Rithmire - The Past\, Present\, and Future of State - Business Relations in China: Learning from Comparisons
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Meg Rithmire\, F. Warren McFarlan Associate Professor of Business of Administration\, Harvard Business School. \n\n\n\nOver the last decade\, China has gone from high rates of economic growth with private sector participation to state crackdowns on business and slowing growth\, if not economic stagnation or crisis. Prof. Rithmire will draw on her research on relationships between the private sector and the party-state to explain the long history of capitalism and capitalists in China\, and discuss what can be gained from comparing China’s political economy. Is China like Japan\, bound for decades of macroeconomic stagnation\, or like Suharto’s Indonesia\, one economic crisis away from dissolution? \n\n\n\nAlso available on Zoom. Register here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
