SUMMARY:Urban China Seminar Series featuring Tingting Lu - Collaborative Neighborhood Governance During the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Meeting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Tingting Lu\, ​Shanghai Jiao Tong University \n\n\n\n​The COVID-19 pandemic is a governance challenge for nations and cities across the world. While early observations have primarily focused on nation-scale government actions\, our research shows that neighborhood social capital also plays a key role in Chinese neighborhoods. Drawing from collaborative governance theory\, we examine the horizontal and hierarchical dynamics of neighborhood governance collaboration during crisis responses in urban China. Using a large-scale questionnaire survey of frontline community workers conducted in six Chinese cities in February 2020\, we find that from the perspective of residents’ committees\, the effectiveness of collaborative governance in pandemic control is predicted by both neighborhood social capital (i.e. civic engagement and citizen participation) and hierarchical steering by the government through setting policy priorities and providing support. We also surveyed residents for their opinions on neighborhood collaborative governance post pandemic. Social capital presents opposite correlations to one’s collaboration with a residents’ committee and collaboration with a private management company.  \n\n\n\nTingting Lu is an Associate Professor at School of International and Public Affairs\, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Her research focuses on neighborhood governance and housing development in urban China. Recently she has also worked on gated communities\, social segregation\, and neighborhood attachment\, and has published in leading journals in urban studies and geography\, including Urban Studies\, Urban Geography\, and Geoforum.  \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/96217779608 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Eva Nga Shan Ng - Trials Heard by a Foreign Ear: A Study of Chinese Jurors’ Comprehension of English Trials in Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Eva Nga Shan Ng\, Assistant Professor\, Translation Programme\, School of Chinese\, the University of Hong Kong; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23Chair/discussant: Nicholas Harkness\, Modern Korean Economy and Society Professor of Anthropology\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nStudies in jury comprehension have hitherto mainly explored Anglo-American courts and focused on examining English-speaking jurors’ ability to understand legal discourse\, particularly with respect to jury instructions. Such studies reveal doubts about jurors’ comprehension of the legalese in jury instructions and argue for the use of plain English to make jury instructions accessible to lay jurors. This paper reports findings of a study contextualized in the Hong Kong courtroom\, where criminal trials in the High Court are routinely heard by local Chinese jurors presumed to have a sufficient command of the language used in court\, be it English or Chinese. This study aims to test the validity of  the presumption about Chinese jurors’ ability to understand trials conducted in English\, which they speak as a second or even a foreign language (L2)\, and to explore how L2 jurors’ comprehension might be further compromised due to a lack of proficiency in English. A random sample of local Chinese eligible for jury service (N=53) are recruited from the community to take part in the study\, which comprises a demographic survey of the subjects\, as well as a test of their comprehension of courtroom discourse using authentic audio recordings of two trials from the High Court of Hong Kong. The results of this study show an average listening comprehension level of around 41% by the subjects\, with some attaining below 25%. The results also show that the subjects’ listening comprehension problems are not limited to legalese. Taking the Voice Projection Framework (Heffer 2018) as a point of reference\, this study suggests that while discursive voicing is largely to blame for the subjects’ comprehension problem\, as in studies with native English-speaking jurors\, in the case of L2 jurors\, the speakers’ physical voicing of courtroom discourse is demonstrated and perceived by the subjects to be a major factor in impeding their comprehension of the courtroom discourse. This paper argues that making courtroom discourse accessible to L2 jurors means more than improving the discursive voicing\, but physical voicing matters as much\, if not more. This paper also discusses the possibility of providing interpretation for jurors in need of the service to ensure equal participation in jury service by people randomly selected from the community and to mitigate the jury dilemma. \n\n\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \n\n\n\nSeating is limited.

SUMMARY:Zhang Changdong - Taxation and State Building Contradiction: Grassroots State Reconfiguration under Tax State Transition in Rural China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Zhang Changdong\, Peking University; HYI Visiting Scholar 2022-23Chair/discussant: Elizabeth J. Perry\, Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government at Harvard University; Director of the Harvard-Yenching Institute. \n\n\n\nTaxation is regarded as an important dynamic in state building\, and plays a crucial role in driving the process of bureaucratization. However\, this process could be contradictory under certain circumstances. Through an in-depth examination of taxation and state building in rural China\, we find that the state strategically uses different institutional building strategies in different periods to penetrate the rural society for different purposes. We develop a two by two matrix by combining concentration and centralization\, as a typology of micro institutional building strategies\, to describe the evolution of institutional strategies and cadre’s roles. Specifically\, we find that after the market transition in 1980s and 1990s\, the tax state transition\, especially the abolition of agricultural taxes in early 2000s\, marks a transition from penetration for extraction to non-penetration with non-extraction. Using unique datasets which combines individual\, village and county/province level data\, we focus on the dynamic on the role of village cadres which reflects the evolution of institutional strategies. We test the hypotheses of village cadres’ income (dis)advantage before and after abolition of agriculture taxes which depended on village or upper-level government fiscal conditions\, respectively. We find that before the tax state transition village cadres as tax farmers had income advantages over ordinary peasants regardless the village and county fiscal conditions. But after the transition they turned to semi-bureaucrats and lost their income advantage in most regions all over China. They only held advantages in those fiscally-rich regions. This research indicates that the state building in rural China is associated with the ending of taxation power rather than a development of taxation capacity which led to state involution. This study contributes to taxation and state building literature by revealing this contradiction\, and complement to the market transition debate by bringing taxation back in. \n\n\n\nIn-person talk – Seating is limited. Masks are required for all audience members. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

Chang\, Associate Professor of Sociology\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, I propose to re-analyze the history of the historical contentions in Northeast Asia as that of the regional actors’ attempts to manage their differences over national identities and their relationships in the context of the region’s shifting power balance. On the one hand\, the states and civil society actors in the region have been held together by a shared past salient and meaningful to all of them\, jointly creating a common transnational discursive sphere among themselves—a regional order. On the other hand\, they have been molding and remolding that regional order in different shapes by endowing their common past with sometimes convergent\, and sometimes contradictory\, meanings. I postulate that the regional actors’ perception of others’ legitimacy and their framework of meaning may be combined in four possible ways to shape the nature of the region’s order—nationalist spheres\, parallel national spheres\, contentious regional sphere\, and regional public sphere—and that Northeast Asia’s regional order has since the end of the Asia Pacific War evolved from parallel national spheres to a regional public sphere to a contentious regional sphere. \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/diatribes-and-dialogues-over-the-past-history-problems-and-regional-orders-in-northeast-asia/ \n\n\n\nIn-person talk – Seating is limited.

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.

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

SUMMARY:Lessons for East Asia from Eastern Europe’s Institutional Changes and Governing Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:Bojan Bugarič\, Professor at the University of Sheffield and former Deputy Interior Minister of SloveniaLance Liangping Gore\, Senior Research Fellow at the NUS East Asian InstituteJacques Rupnik\, Professor at CERI-Sciences Po and former advisor to President Vaclav Havel and to the European Commission \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\, governing systems of Eastern Europe were in a state of turmoil. Few people trusted political leaders or regimes’ ideologies. Large\, little-changed bureaucracies were unable to cope with growing pressure for social and economic improvement. By the late 1980s\, widespread protests shook political systems across the region\, leading to a period of steady\, inconsistent political changes and reform attempts across the region.Thirty years after the first elections following the end of the Warsaw Pact\, what can countries in Asia learn from the governing challenges and development of new political institutions in Eastern Europe? This webinar brings experts on Eastern European politics to discuss causes of political turmoil in the 1980s\, the challenges of reforming Eastern Europe’s political structures\, and why Eastern European countries experienced varied outcomes in their institutional development. Through this analysis\, panelists will comment on lessons for East Asia to learn from Eastern Europe’s political changes. \n\n\n\nThis event is the first part of a two-part series of panels.

SUMMARY:Liu Wenjin - Voice and Salvation: Listening to Ba Jin’s Random Thoughts (《随想录》）
DESCRIPTION:Topics:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Liu Wenjin\, Professor\, Department of Chinese Language and Literature\, East China Normal University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2021-2022Chair/Discussants: David Wang\, Edward C. Henderson Professor of Chinese Literature\, Harvard UniversityJie Li\, John L. Loeb Associate Professor Of The Humanities\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nBa Jin (1904-2005)\, who called himself “the son of the May 4th movement\,” is a giant of 20th-century Chinese literature whose writing inspired a generation of youth to join the communist movement. Written in his later years\, Random Thoughts is one of the earliest and most influential memoirs of China’s Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976. His memoir testified to the double sides of the remarkable “confession” promoted by the party-state during this God-making movement. This talk examines the meaning of voice in this text from the perspective of the phenomenon of voice in Chinese literary culture in the 20th century. \n\n\n\nBy considering Random Thoughts as testimonial literature\, this talk presents Ba Jin’s strategy and ethics of witnessing the silent moral “grey zone” under totalitarianism by recovering his own voice. It explores what “telling the truth” – the keywords in Random Thoughts – means and the relationship between this truth-telling and his personal beliefs and his salvation in hard times that “has no god.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion - How Will the War in Ukraine Impact China’s Engagement in Eastern Europe?
DESCRIPTION:Topics:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:Jinghan Zeng\, Professor of China and International Studies\, Lancaster University; Academic Director of China Engagement and Director of Lancaster University Confucius Institute \n\n\n\nUna Aleksandra Bērziņa-Čerenkova\, Head\, China Studies Centre\, Riga Stradins University; Head\, Asia Program\, Latvian Institute of International Affairs \n\n\n\nJeremy Garlick\, Director\, J.

Communications Officer\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies; Ph.D. Candidate\, Department of History\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nOver the past three decades\, China has become a major trade partner and investor for Belarus\, Moldova\, and Ukraine. The region is also an important component of the BRI New Eurasian Land Bridge\, providing alternative access to Western Europe. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is shaking up China’s plans and prospects in this part of Eurasia. With the closing of borders between Russia and the EU\, China’s long-term interests are arguably at risk. The war is also resulting in geopolitical shifts and hardening divisions between the West on the one hand\, and China and Russia on the other. This panel discusses China’s response to Russia’s war in Ukraine and the impact that today’s dramatic developments will have on China’s presence in Eastern Europe and its BRI plans. \n\n\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Victor Seow - Carbon Technocracy: Energy Regimes in Modern East Asia
DESCRIPTION:Topics:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Victor Seow\, Assistant Professor of the History of Science\, Harvard UniversityCommentator: Paul Sabin\, Yale University \n\n\n\nCarbon Technocracy: Energy Regimes in Modern East Asia is a study of the deep links between energy extraction and technocratic politics through the history of what was once East Asia’s largest coal mine. In delving into the origins of fossil-fueled development in China and Japan\, this book unearths both the dominant role of the state in energy transitions toward coal and oil and the enduring reliance on human labor power in the carbon age. \n\n\n\nThe Center for History and Economics invites you to mark the publication of Victor Seow’s new book by attending this discussion with the author. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:India’s Evolving Partnerships with Africa and the China Factor
DESCRIPTION:Topics:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanelists: W. Gyude Moore\, Senior Policy Fellow\, Center for Global Development; Lecturer at the University of Chicago’s Harris School for Public Policy; Former Minister of Public Works\, LiberiaHannah Ryder\, CEO\, Development Reimagined; Senior Associate\, Africa Program of the Center for Strategic International Studies \n\n\n\nAnthea Mulakala\, Senior Director for International Development Cooperation\, The Asia Foundation \n\n\n\nPhilani Mthembu\, Executive Director at the Institute for Global Dialogue \n\n\n\nVeda Vaidyanathan\, Associate\, Harvard University Asia Center; Visiting Associate Fellow\, Institute of Chinese Studies\, New Delhi \n\n\n\nIndia’s contemporary relationships with countries in Africa are being reimagined at a time when China’s multi-dimensional engagement with the region has deepened significantly. There is a need to examine these developments from diverse\, cross-sectoral perspectives and go beyond the linear narratives. This panel discussion will span from markets to geopolitics\, synthesizing them within the comparative India-China framework. Speakers on the panel will draw from their rich experience of advising African governments\, Chinese and African investors to provide specific takeaways on African market dynamics and possible socio-political and economic futures of value to Indian policymakers\, businesses\, and researchers. Additionally\, they will contrast the engagement of both Asian countries in Africa\, discussing the strategic\, technological\, and cultural drivers\, highlighting the strengths and fault lines in the relationships. The panelists will also explore India’s evolving place in the foreign policy formulations of African countries and look at the expanse of the emerging opportunities for building sustainable partnerships.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Nitasha Kaul - 'Inbetween' India and China: Bhutan's International Relations
DESCRIPTION:Topics:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Speaker: Nitasha Kaul\, University of WestminsterModerator: Arunabh Ghosh\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThe antagonistic relationship between India and China is marked by a high mutual threat perception\, frequent hostilities along their shared border across the Himalayas and a demonstrable ineffectiveness of big power diplomacy in bringing about conciliatory understandings in spite of increasing volumes of trade between them. As a small Himalayan state\, contemporary Bhutan is geopolitically mapped through an exhaustive and southward oriented “inbetweenness” (“inbetween India and China”) that is taken to be natural but in fact has shifted over the centuries. In this lecture\, I first put forward a subaltern geopolitical perspective to first trace a longer imperial and post-colonial history of this inbetweenness and its effect on knowledge-making about smaller states. I then present the indigenous aspects of this small state’s foreign policy\, suggesting that Bhutan’s foreign policy trajectory is important in both descriptive and analytical terms to better grasp the Indian and Chinese interests as they are negotiated by the Bhutanese\, as opposed to accounts where Bhutan is constructed as a passive placeholder of great power politics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Roselyn Hsueh - Micro-Institutional Foundations of Capitalism: Sectoral Pathways to Globalization in China\, India\, and Russia
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Roselyn Hsueh\, Associate Professor of Political Science\, Temple University \nHsueh will discuss how her book’s Strategic Value Framework shows that the perceived strategic value orientation of state elites rooted in significant phases of internal and external pressures shape dominant patterns of market governance\, which vary by country and sector within country. Specifically\, Hsueh’s research demonstrates techno-security developmentalism in China has shaped bifurcated capitalism\, which governs dual-use capital- and knowledge-intensive versus labor-intensive industries. In India\, neoliberal self-reliance has determined the bifurcated liberalism\, which grounds transnationally networked high-tech versus rural\, small-scale sectors. A bifurcated oligarchy governs defense and resource-oriented versus labor-intensive sectors in Russia shaped by resource security nationalism. \nAsh Center Director Tony Saich will moderate. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/8116415902412/WN_fzVkW01gRZS2iw01RSUJcw \n\n \nMore information: https://ash.harvard.edu/event/book-talk-micro-institutional-foundations-capitalism-sectoral-pathways-globalization-china
