SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Margaret Pearson - China’s Overseas Economic Push: Influence or Backlash
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead our blog post on the event: Why the Narrative on China’s Rising Overseas Economic Influence Might be Inaccurate \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Margaret Pearson\, Dr. Horace E. and Wilma V. Harrison Distinguished Professor\, and Distinguished Scholar-Teacher in the Department of Government and Politics\, University of Maryland\, College Park \n\n\n\nModerator: Meg Rithmire\, F. Warren MacFarlan Associate Professor in the Business\, Government\, and International Economy Unit\, Harvard Business School. \n\n\n\nAs China’s economic activities expand abroad\, the consequences are controversial.  When do China’s economic contributions influence countries to align more closely with Beijing?  When do they generate political backlash and reduce Chinese influence?  What remains unknown?  Building off their recent Foreign Affairs article\, Margaret Pearson\, along with co-author and discussant Meg Rithmire\, discuss overseas reactions to Chinese expanding economic reach and the new China shock. \n\n\n\nMargaret Pearson is the Dr. Horace E. and Wilma V. Harrison Distinguished Professor\, and Distinguished Scholar-Teacher in the Department of Government and Politics\, University of Maryland\, College Park. Pearson’s research on China’s domestic politics focuses on state control of the economy\, central-local bureaucratic relations\, and environmental policy. On Chinese foreign policy\, Pearson’s ongoing projects focus on conceptualizations of and reactions to China’s overseas economic activities\, determinants of Beijing’s behavior in global institutions\, and climate change governance. She teaches courses on Chinese domestic politics and foreign policy\, and on comparative politics. She has held a Fulbright Research Fellowship at Beijing University. \n\n\n\nPearson received a Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University and was an Associate Professor with tenure at Dartmouth College before moving to UMCP in 1996. Her books include China’s Strategic Multilateralism: Investing in Global Governance (with Scott Kastner and Chad Rector\, Cambridge University Press\, 2019)\, China’s New Business Elite: The Political Results of Economic Reform (University of California Press\, 1997)\, and Joint Ventures in the People’s Republic of China (Princeton University Press\, 1991). Her articles appear in Journal of Politics\, World Politics\, International Security\, Security Studies\, World Development\, Public Administration Review\, Governance\, Studies in Comparative International Development\, Review of International Political Economy\, China Journal\, China Quarterly\, and Journal of Contemporary China. \n\n\n\nAlso available via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China featuring Ma Jun - Can China Meet its Green Targets?
DESCRIPTION:Register for zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Ma Jun\, Director\, Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE)Moderator: Daniel Schrag\, Sturgis Hooper Professor of Geology\, Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering\, Harvard University; Director\, Harvard University Center for the Environment \n\n\n\n***PLEASE NOTE EARLIER START TIME*** \n\n\n\nPresident Xi Jinping has sought to make the environment part of his lasting legacy. Since 2012\, China has drastically improved air pollution and developed a world-leading clean energy industry. In 2020\, Xi made a historic climate commitment\, setting a target for net-zero emissions by 2060. But with a stagnant economy\, Xi’s vision for phasing out fossil fuels is looking harder and harder to realize. How are industry leaders and officials at all levels coping with environmental challenges in the face of shrinking profits? Can China continue to lead the world\, or will the green dreams be deferred? \n\n\n\nMa Jun is one of China’s most influential environmentalists. As director of the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE)\, he developed the China Water Pollution Map\, the first public database of water pollution information in China\, and works with private and state-sector industry to help them improve their environmental performance. \n\n\n\nMa also serves as environmental consultant for the Sinosphere Corporation. In the 1990s Ma became known as an investigative journalist\, working at the South China Morning Post from 1993 to 2000. There\, he began to specialize in articles on environmental subjects. He eventually became the chief representative of SCMP.com in Beijing. Ma’s 1999 book China’s Water Crisis\, China’s first major book on the subject\, has been compared to Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. In 2006\, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential persons in the world. \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.
