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. One can register for the second part\, on economic challenges and transition\, 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:Liu Wenjin - Voice and Salvation: Listening to Ba Jin’s Random Thoughts (《随想录》）
DESCRIPTION:Topics:\n\n\nEnvironment\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\nEnvironment\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. Masaryk Centre of International Studies; Associate Professor of International Relations and China Studies\, Prague University of Economics and Business \n\n\n\nArseny Sivitsky\, Co-Founder and Director\, Minsk-based Center for Strategic and Foreign Policy Studies \n\n\n\nModerators:Nargis Kassenova\, Senior Fellow\, Program on Central Asia\, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies \n\n\n\nJames Evans. 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\nEnvironment\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\nEnvironment\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

DESCRIPTION:Topics:\n\n\nEnvironment\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

SUMMARY:Yang Lichao - Children’s Dimensions of Poverty: Qualitative Studies in Urban China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yang Lichao. Associate Professor\, Chinese Academy of Social Management/School of Sociology\, Beijing Normal University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2021-22\nChair/discussant: Nicole Newendorp\, Lecturer on Social Studies\, Harvard University \nPoverty is multidimensional but with disagreement as to the most important dimensions. This is especially true of child poverty partly because children are seldom asked systematically to describe their experience of poverty. Fifty-five children\, aged between eight and 12 and attending two schools in Hangzhou and Beijing China\, each participated in several hours of interviews and discussion about experiencing poverty. Integrating their understanding with perspectives of parents and teachers suggests nine dimensions of poverty: four structural (material deprivation\, limiting home environment\, constrained education; restricted opportunities); three relational (violence\, negative social relations\, lack of confidence); and two core (shame; neglected agency). \nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/childrens-dimensions-of-poverty-qualitative-studies-in-urban-china/ \nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \nPresented via Zoom\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAvcuyvrzgrG9CbnLONF4qml-Nh1KMCEHBA \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Mengmeng Yang - The Syntax of “NP zhi (之) VP” in Old Chinese
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mengmeng Yang\, Associate Research Professor\, Institute of Linguistics\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2021-22\nChair/discussant: C.-T. James Huang\, Professor of Linguistics\, Harvard University \nThis talk focuses on the syntax of the “NP zhi VP” (主之谓) structure (eg. 皮之不存\,毛将安附?)\, which is one of the most typical and frequently used structures in Old Chinese. It is tentatively proposed that zhi\, as a functional head\, functions as a nonfinite INFL and projects a nonfinite clause in the form of “NP zhi VP”. According to this analysis\, the syntactic difference between “NP zhi VP” and the canonical “NP VP” clause without zhi lies in the fact that the former is nonfinite whereas the latter is finite. If this analysis is on the right track\, “NP zhi VP” and its counterparts like “NP VP” in Old Chinese\, “NP de VP” (“NP 的 VP”) in Contemporary Chinese\, as well as the gerundive V-ing structure and to-infinitive in English\, can all be characterized as different instantiations of the abstract “NP F VP” structure (F=functional category). They differ from each other only in different values of F. \nMore info: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/the-syntax-of-np-zhi-%e4%b9%8b-vp-in-old-chinese/ \nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \nPresented via Zoom\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEvdeGrqTguH9xse7Os4eq446EqAXSItXWI \n
