SUMMARY:Panel Discussion - Strongman Politics in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nElsa Clavé\, Harvard University Asia Center\nAyşe Kadıoğlu\, Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies\, Harvard University\nJoseph Fewsmith\, Boston University\nValerie Sperling\, Clark University \nModerator:\nThomas Vallely\, Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation\, Harvard Kennedy School \nListen again on Soundcloud: \n \nAs the role of “strongman” leaders on the world stage appears to be on the rise\, this panel examines “strongman politics” in a comparative context. In May 2018\, Time Magazine proclaimed in an article that “The ‘Strongmen Era’ Is Here” (Time\, May 3\, 2018). Highlighting Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping’s tightening authoritarianism in Russia and China\, and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan\, Rodrigo Duterte\, and Viktor Orbán’s undermining of democratic norms in Turkey\, the Philippines\, and Hungary\, it certainly appears that Huntington’s post-Cold War “third wave” of democratization is witnessing a strongman-inspired reversal. But does this entail a new “era” of authoritarianism advance as the United States rhetorically withdraws from its global leadership role? \nThis panel examines the role of politically-strong male leaders in authoritarian countries in a comparative context. Elsa Clavé\, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard University Asia Center\, examines the 2016 election of Duterte in the Philippines; Ayşe Kadıoğlu\, Visiting Scholar at Harvard’s Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies\, looks at Erdoğan’s reversal of Turkey’s previous move towards democratization; Joseph Fewsmith\, Professor Political Science at Boston University\, compares Xi Jinping’s consolidation of power in China to Mao’s historical rise at Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party; and Valerie Sperling\, Professor of Political Science at Clark University\, interrogates the cult-like masculinity of Vladimir Putin’s image as a “manly” leader in post-Soviet Russia. \nRegarding her upcoming discussion of the presidency of Duterte at the panel\, Asia Center Postdoctoral Fellow Elsa Clavé\, a historian of the Philippines working on the expression of authority and power in its Muslim periphery\, stated “President Duerte is not only a populist; he was elected and stays extremely popular for various other reasons. Understanding these reasons is essential to understanding the present society and the direction it is taking. Models and theory are a good approach to reality\, but reality exceeds both. A conversation between different fields and disciplines will help\, I hope\, to refine the model.” \nThe panel is moderated by Thomas Vallely\, Senior Advisor at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation\, Harvard Kennedy School\, and a specialist on Southeast Asia\, and introduced by Karen Thornber\, Director of the Harvard University Asia Center. \nCo-sponsoring Centers:\nAsh Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation\, Harvard Kennedy School\nWeatherhead Center for International Affairs\, Harvard University\nHarvard University Asia Center\nFairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University\nDavis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies\, Harvard University\nMinda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies\, Harvard University

SUMMARY:Mareike Ohlberg and Kristin Shi-Kupfer - Ideas and Ideologies Competing for China’s Future
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nMareike Ohlberg\, Research Associate\, Mercator Institute for China Studies; former An Wang Post-Doctoral Fellow\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\nKristin Shi-Kupfer\, Head of Research on Politics\, Society\, and the Media\, Mercator Institute for China Studies \nUnlike any other Chinese leader since the beginning of the reform era\, Xi Jinping has worked on crafting a unified national ideology with the aim to strengthen the ties between China’s citizens and the Communist Party of China (CCP). The Xi leadership tries to rally support around the “China Dream\,” the vision of China as a global player\, and it promotes the “China Path” as an alternative to market economies and liberal democracies. \nAlthough partially successful\, the propaganda offensive has so far not yielded the desired result: a broad-based societal consensus on China’s future course. A new publication by the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) shows widely differing views within Chinese society on China’s developmental model and its global role. \nFor their report\, “Ideas and ideologies competing for China’s future\,” Kristin Shi-Kupfer\, Mareike Ohlberg\, Simon Lang and Bertram Lang analyzed debates in Chinese social media and conducted a survey among predominantly urban Chinese netizens. Even though party-state propaganda played a dominant role\, debates in online chat groups such as Weibo or Tianya Net displayed a wide range of opinions despite censorship and repression of dissent. \nDr. Kristin Shi-Kupfer\nKristin Shi-Kupfer heads research on politics\, society and the media at the Mercator Institute for China Studies. She is an expert on media policy\, civil society\, religious policy and ideology in China. She previously worked as a research associate at the University of Freiburg’s Institute for Sinology. She earned her PhD from Ruhr University Bochum with a thesis on spiritual and religious groups in China after 1978. From 2007 to 2011 she was the China correspondent for the Austrian news magazine Profil\, the German Protestant Press Agency epd\, and Südwest Presse in Beijing. She also worked as a freelance contributor for other media like ZEIT Online\, tageszeitung (taz)\, and Deutsche Welle in China. In May 2017\, Shi-Kupfer was appointed member of the expert committee of the German-Chinese platform on innovation under the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. \nDr. Mareike Ohlberg\nMareike Ohlberg is a research associate at the Mercator Institute for China Studies\, where she focuses on China’s subnational politics\, official media policy as well as developments in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Ohlberg holds a PhD in Chinese Studies from the University of Heidelberg and an MA from Columbia University. In her thesis\, she analyzed changes in China’s global propaganda outreach since 1978. Prior to joining MERICS\, Ohlberg spent a year as an An Wang Postdoctoral Fellow at the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University and another year as a postdoctoral researcher at the Cheng Shewo Institute for Chinese Journalism at Shih Hsin University in Taipei.

SUMMARY:Scott Kennedy - The Fat Tech Dragon: Commercial and Strategic Implications of China’s Hi-Tech Drive
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Scott Kennedy\, Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) \nChina’s high-tech drive has drawn both fierce criticism for being unfair and breathless praise for its recent successes. This presentation attempts to cut through the hyperbole on both sides to examine the evolution of China’s high-tech policies and its recent performance record. Chinese technology policy has indeed become more discriminatory\, but China’s actual performance record varies across sectors\, as do the implications for the United States and the global economy. American policy needs to take this mixed record into account in crafting an appropriate and effective response. \nScott Kennedy is deputy director of the Freeman Chair in China Studies and director of the Project on Chinese Business and Political Economy at CSIS. A leading authority on China’s domestic and international economic policy\, Kennedy is the author of The Fat Tech Dragon: Benchmarking China’s Innovation Drive (CSIS\, 2017); (with Chris Johnson) Perfecting China Inc.: China’s 13th Five-Year Plan (CSIS\, 2016)\, and The Business of Lobbying in China (Harvard University Press\, 2005). He has edited three books\, including Global Governance and China: The Dragon’s Learning Curve (Routledge\, 2017)\, and Beyond the Middle Kingdom: Comparative Perspectives on China’s Capitalist Transformation (Stanford University Press\, 2011). For over 14 years\, Kennedy was a professor at Indiana University\, and from 2007 to 2014\, he was the director of the Research Center for Chinese Politics & Business. Kennedy received his Ph.D. in political science from George Washington University\, his M.A. in China studies from Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies\, and his B.A. in foreign affairs from the University of Virginia. \nThis talk is made possible through generous funding by the Consulate General of Japan in Boston.

SUMMARY:Jeff Wasserstrom and Maura Cunningham — China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom and Maura Elizabeth Cunningham \nHarvard Coop Book Talk \nIn this fully revised and updated third edition of China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know®\, Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom and Maura Elizabeth Cunningham provide cogent answers to urgent questions regarding the world’s newest superpower and offer a framework for understanding China’s meteoric rise from developing country to superpower. Framing their answers through the historical legacies – Confucian thought\, Western and Japanese imperialism\, the Mao era\, and the Tiananmen Square massacre – that largely define China’s present-day trajectory\, Wasserstrom and Cunningham introduce readers to the Chinese Communist Party\, the building boom in Shanghai\, and the environmental fallout of rapid Chinese industrialization. They also explain unique aspects of Chinese culture\, such as the one-child policy\, and provide insight into Chinese-American relations\, a subject that has become increasingly fraught during the Trump era. As Wasserstrom and Cunningham draw parallels between China and other industrialized nations during their periods of development\, in particular the United States during its rapid industrialization in the 19th century\, they also predict how we might expect China to act in the future vis-à-vis the United States\, Russia\, India\, and its East Asian neighbors. \nUpdated to include perspectives on Hong Kong’s shifting political status\, as well as an expanded discussion of President Xi Jinping’s time in office\, China in the 21st Century provides a concise and insightful introduction to this significant global power. \nMaura Elizabeth Cunningham is a writer and historian of modern China. She is a graduate of Saint Joseph’s University (B.A.\, 2004)\, Yale University (M.A.\, 2006)\, the Hopkins-Nanjing Center for Chinese and American Studies (graduate certificate\, 2008)\, and the University of California\, Irvine (Ph.D.\, 2014). Maura was the editor-in-chief of The China Beat\, a blog based at UC Irvine\, between 2009 and 2012\, and associate editor of ChinaFile during a fellowship at the Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations in 2011-12. From 2014 to 2016\, Maura served as a program officer at the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations\, where she co-directed the Public Intellectuals Program; in 2016\, she became the digital media manager at the Association for Asian Studies. As a writer\, her work has appeared at the Wall Street Journal\, the Financial Times\, the Los Angeles Review of Books\, and other publications. \nJeffrey Wasserstrom is a graduate of UC Santa Cruz (B.A.\, 1982)\, Harvard (A.M.\, 1984)\, and Berkeley (Ph.D.\,1989)\, and he is now Chancellor’s Professor of History at UC Irvine. He has written five books\, the most recent of which are Eight Juxtapositions: China through Imperfect Analogies from Mark Twain to Manchukuo (Penguin\, 2016) and the third edition of China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford\, 2018). He has also edited or co-edited several other books\, including The Oxford Illustrated History of Modern China (2016). In addition to writing for academic journals\, he has contributed to many general interest venues\, among them the New York Times\, the TLS\, and the Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB). He is an academic editor of LARB’s China Channel and the Editor of the Journal of Asian Studies.

SUMMARY:Joseph Esherick: Bandits and Bolsheviks: the Shaanxi-Gansu Base Area before Mao
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Joseph W. Esherick\, Professor Emeritus\, University of California\, San Diego \nIn the fall of 1935\, Mao read a newspaper article about a Communist base in Northern Shaanxi. He redirected the Long March to that base\, which would become the Yan’an-centered “revolutionary holy land” from which the Chinese Communist Party would rise to power during the War of Resistance against Japan and the following Civil War. Yan’an during the war provided Mao and his colleagues an unprecedented degree of security\, and that era has been much studied. We know much less about the formation of the base that provided him sanctuary.  That is the subject of Esherick’s inquiry. \nJoseph W. Esherick is a social historian of social movements in modern China. His dissertation and first monograph\, Reform and Revolution in China: the 1911 Revolution in Hunan and Hubei explored the social background of China’s republican revolution.  His book on The Origins of the Boxer Uprising won the Fairbank Prize of the American Historical Association and the Levenson Prize of the Association for Asian Studies.  His most recent monograph\, Ancestral Leaves\, explored the tumultuous history of nineteenth and twentieth-century China through the successive generations of one family.  In 1988\, Esherick began a project on the Chinese Communist revolution in Northern Shaanxi\, then set it aside for many years in hopes of greater archival access. That hope never materialized\, and he has now returned to the project with such documentary and fieldwork materials he has been able to obtain. After forty years of teaching at the University of Oregon and the University of California at San Diego\, Esherick retired in 2012 and now lives in Berkeley\, California.

SUMMARY:Those Waters Giving Way
DESCRIPTION:An overview of Michael Cherney’s artistic process and recent works. The art combines photography with the subject matter\, aesthetics\, materials and formats traditionally associated with classical Chinese painting\, which allows for viewing the present day environment and landscape in China through the lens of art history. In addition to the presentation\, the artist will guide the audience through viewing several handscrolls\, albums and other works \n“One would be hard-pressed to find a ‘more Chinese’ artist than Qiu Mai (Michael Cherney). Photographer\, calligrapher\, and book artist\, Qiu Mai’s work is done with the great sophistication that draws on the subtleties of China’s most scholarly and esoteric traditions. Based in Beijing and a successful artist whose works have been collected by The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Department of Asian Art (the first photographic works ever to enter the collection of that department)\, Qiu Mai’s art is less provocative than it is intellectually engaging\, meditative\, and often simply beautiful.  What is provocative is his identity:  Qiu Mai is the Chinese name for Michael Cherney\, born in New York of Jewish parentage. Cherney’s work is the cutting-edge demonstration of artistic globalization:  if Asian artists can so readily ‘come West\,’ then what is to prevent large numbers of future Western artists from ‘going Asian’? Or\, like Qiu Mai/Michael Cherney\, going both ways at once\, both American and Chinese\, modern and traditional.”\n– Jerome Silbergeld\, P. Y. and Kinmay W. Tang Professor of Chinese Art History\, Princeton University \nCo-sponsored by the Harvard-China Project

SUMMARY:Jennifer Rudolph and Michael Szonyi - The Coop Event Series/ "The China Questions" Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join the editors and contributors to The China Questions for a book launch at the Harvard Coop’s Event Series. \nMany books offer information about China\, but few make sense of what is truly at stake. The questions addressed in this unique volume provide a window onto the challenges China faces today and the uncertainties its meteoric ascent on the global horizon has provoked. \nIn only a few decades\, the most populous country on Earth has moved from relative isolation to center stage. Thirty-six of the world’s leading China experts—all affiliates of the renowned Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University—answer key questions about where this new superpower is headed and what makes its people and their leaders tick. They distill a lifetime of cutting-edge scholarship into short\, accessible essays about Chinese identity\, culture\, environment\, society\, history\, or policy. \nChina has already captured the world’s attention. The China Questions takes us behind media images and popular perceptions to provide insight on fundamental issues. \nJoin editors Jennifer Rudolph and Michael Szonyi\, and contributors Peter Bol\, Andrew Erickson\, Susan Greenhalgh\, Wai-yee Li\, and Karen Thornber\, at the Harvard Coop to discuss the book and the key questions it raises about China’s future. \nEditors \nJennifer Rudolph\, Associate Professor of Modern Chinese political History\, Worcester Polytechnic Institute \nMichael Szonyi\, Professor of Chinese History\, Harvard University \nContributors \nPeter Bol\, Vice Provost for Advances in Learning\, and Charles H Carswell Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard university \nAndrew Erickson\, Professor of Strategy\, Naval War College \nSusan Greenhalgh is Professor of Anthropology\, Harvard University \nWai-yee Li\, Professor of Chinese Literature\, Harvard University \nKaren Thornber\, Professor of Comparative Literature\, and East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \n

SUMMARY:China Town Hall Featuring Susan Rice
DESCRIPTION:China Town Hall: Local Connections\, National Reflections\nJoin 80+ communities across the United States in a national conversation on China.\nFeaturing an interactive webcast with former UN Ambassador Susan Rice\, and on-site discussion with Jeremy Goldkorn. \nAmbassador Susan E. Rice served President Barack Obama as national security advisor and U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations. In her role as national security advisor from July 1\, 2013\, to January 20\, 2017\, Ambassador Rice led the National Security Council staff and chaired the Cabinet-level National Security Principals Committee. She provided the President daily national security briefings and was responsible for coordinating the formulation and implementation of all aspects of the Administration’s foreign and national security policy\, intelligence\, and military efforts. \nAs U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations (UN) and a member of President Obama’s cabinet\, Ambassador Rice worked to advance U.S. interests\, defend universal values\, strengthen the world’s security and prosperity\, and promote respect for human rights. In a world of 21st century threats that pay no heed to borders\, Ambassador Rice helped rebuild an effective basis for international cooperation that strengthened the United States’ ability to achieve its foreign policy objectives and made the American people safer. \n_____ \nJeremy Goldkorn is the Editor-in-chief of SupChina and co-founder of the Sinica Podcast. \nHe is also the founder and director of Danwei\, a research firm that tracks Chinese media\, markets\, politics and business.

The Financial Times acquired Danwei in 2013\, after which Goldkorn also took charge of the custom research services of FT Confidential China\, Latin America\, and ASEAN services. \nHosted in conjunction with the National Committee on U.S. China Relations.
