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.
