SUMMARY:Başak Bilecen - Chinese International Students’ Networks at Elite Universities: A Comparative Study of Germany and the US
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Başak Bilecen\, Rosalind Franklin Assistant Professor of Sociology\, University of Groningen\nChair: Muriel Rouyer\, Adjunct Professor of Public Policy\, Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation\, Harvard Kennedy School; Local Affiliate\, CES\, Harvard University \n In migration scholarship\, the role of social networks has been well-established in people’s decisions on whether to migrate and where to migrate to. Recently\, international student mobility literature has shown that networks\, parental aspirations and socio-economic background play an important role in an individual’s study-abroad decisions. Over the past few decades many countries\, including Germany and the United States\, have witnessed a tremendous increase in the number of international students applying to universities\, with the majority coming from China. Based on personal network analysis and qualitative interviews with Chinese international students enrolled at elite universities in Germany and in the US\, Başak Bilecen will compare and contrast how networks effect study abroad decisions. She will show that these decisions are based on the networks of the individual students as well as their country of origin and the educational institutions. \nhttps://bit.ly/2XC5KTL

SUMMARY:Allan Layug - Order in International Thought: Unpacking China’s Concept of World Order
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Allan Layug\, PhD Candidate\, University of Queensland; Associate\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\nDiscussant: Robert Ross\, Professor of Political Science\, Boston College \nHow do we conceptualize China’s world order? What are its defining characteristics? Whose ideas matter in conceptualizing it—and why? And how do the different conceptions affect the Chinese world-ordering projects in the 21st century? These are the key questions the lecture aims to address. Specifically\, it will lay out the ideational foundations of order from the ancient to the modern Chinese thought\, exploring key ideas from Confucius to Sun Yatsen. It will unpack the bones of contention on conceptualization\, construction\, maintenance\, and transformation of world order in the contemporary period\, tracing change and continuity in Mao Zedong Thought\, Deng Theory\, Xi Jinping Thought. It will provide a four-level analysis: (a) analytical level\, where Chinese concept of order and its key characteristics are defined and analyzed\, (b) logical level\, where the reasoning behind such a conception is discussed\, (c) theoretical level\, where the concept is viewed from different theoretical points of view\, and (d) field of debate level\, where the parameters\, axes\, and forms of argument framing the debate in the Chinese world are analyzed. The lecture will conclude on some thoughts about the future trajectory of world ordering the Chinese Way.

SUMMARY:Felix Wemheuer - Rebels in Power: Factionalism in Shandong during China’s Cultural Revolution (1966-1969)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Felix Wemheuer\, Chair Professor of Modern China Studies\, University of Cologne \nDuring the early Cultural Revolution (1966-1969)\, factional conflicts inside the CCP (Communist Party of China) and within the society resulted in civil war and the almost collapse of the party-state. Wemheuer will present Shandong Province as a case study for the development of factional conflicts at the various administrative levels of state and society. Based on various field trips\, archival research and Oral History interviews with former rebel leaders\, it will be shown how the coalition of rebel cadres\, students\, workers and soldiers was created in Shandong and why they were able to “seize power” in February of 1967. The events and developments that ultimately led to the splitting of the rebels and their final downfall in 1969 will also be examined. The talk will contribute to a new understanding of factional politics. \nFelix Wemheuer belongs to a new generation of Western scholars who are rewriting the history of Maoist China. His publications include Famine Politics in Maoist China and the Soviet Union (Yale UP 2014) and A Social History of Maoist China: Conflict and Change\, 1949-1976 (Cambridge UP 2019). Between 2008 and 2010\, he was a visiting scholar at the Fairbank Center.
