SUMMARY:Daniel Koss - Where the Party Rules: The Rank and File of China’s Communist Party
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Daniel Koss\, Lecturer\, EALC\, Harvard University \nIn most non-democratic countries\, today governing forty-four percent of the world population\, the power of the regime rests upon a ruling party. Contrasting with conventional notions that authoritarian regime parties serve to contain elite conflict and manipulate electoral-legislative processes\, this book presents the case of China and shows that rank and-file members of the Communist Party allow the state to penetrate local communities. Subnational comparative analysis demonstrates that in ‘red areas’ with high party saturation\, the state is most effectively enforcing policy and collecting taxes. Because party membership patterns are extremely enduring\, they must be explained by events prior to the Communist takeover in 1949. Frontlines during the anti-colonial Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) continue to shape China’s political map even today. Newly available evidence from the Great Leap Forward (1958-1961) and the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) shows how a strong local party basis sustained the regime in times of existential crisis. \nThis event is part of the Harvard-Yenching Library Book Talk Series\, in which faculty discuss their recent publications. The event is open to all. Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Xi Yang - China's Coal-to-Gas Policy for Residential Heating: Between the Shadow and the Light
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Xi Yang\, Visiting Researcher\, Harvard-China Project; Associate Professor\, China University of Petroleum Beijing \nUnder the pressure of improving its environmental governance\, China has strengthened its coal substitution policy known as “coal-to-gas” in residential heating in Northern region. This bold policy sets strict gas replacement targets for “26 + 2” key cities. However\, China suffered from severe gas shortages in the 2017-2018 winter\, which aroused widespread concern. Maintaining the natural gas balance became thus a challenging task for China\, especially with the policy extended nationwide. Also\, the contribution of gas substitution to air quality improvement remains uncertain. In the context of the Paris Agreement\, the feasibility of China’s gas substitution policy is vital not only for the accomplishment of its NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions)\, but also to global decarbonization. Based on scenario analysis with the bottom-up MAPLE (China Multi-pollutant Abatement Planning and Long-term benefit Evaluation) model\, this talk will address current debates and discuss the potential impact of the coal-to-gas policy.
