SUMMARY:Berggruen Workshop: Perspectives on Chinese Thought in the World
DESCRIPTION:This workshop celebrates the partnership between the Berggruen Institute and the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics\, thereby also taking advantage of the presence of the first group of Berggruen Fellows at Harvard. The topic of the workshop\, also related to a major concern of the Berggruen Institute\, is “Perspectives on Chinese Thought in the World.” Some of the presenters work on China in a rather straightforward way\, others don’t\, but China\, and thus Chinese thought\, concerns us all\, and increasingly so. One way or another\, the talks will address how it does. Advance reading of papers is not expected\, though papers are available for some of the talks (upon request). \nOn February 9\, 2017\, the workshop convened for a successful session\, featuring Viren Murthy\, Tongdong Bai\, and Sungmoon Kim\, before the organizers were compelled to postpone the afternoon panels due to the onset of a blizzard. These panels have now been rescheduled as a featured event that will kick off the Center’s 30th Anniversary Celebration\, May 4-6\, 2017. \n**Please register HERE no later than Monday\, April 24.** \nThursday\, May 4\, 2017\n\n10:00am – 10:15am:  Opening Remarks \nDanielle Allen\, Tongdong Bai\, and Mathias Risse\, Organizers \n\n10:15am – 11:45am:  Morning Session \nMelissa Williams\, “Minben Legitimacy\, Western Legitimacy: A Framework for Comparative Research” \nAnna Sun\, “The Irreligious Kingdom: Perceptions of Chinese Religious Life Today”\n   \n12:00pm – 1:00pm:  Lunch (on site) \n\n1:00pm – 2:15pm:  Afternoon Session \nTongdong Bai\, “A Confucian Version of Human and Animal Rights” \nMathias Risse\, “Thinking about Global Justice in the Age of the Rise of China” \n\n2:15pm:  Closing Remarks

SUMMARY:China’s Banking Transformation: The Untold Story
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: James Stent\, Independent Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee of XacBank of Mongolia. \nPundits have been predicting the impending collapse of the Chinese banking system. The collapse has not happened. What have these pundits been missing? Why have their predictions not materialized? \nJames Stent\, author of China’s Banking Transformation: the Untold Story (Oxford University Press 2017) discusses the strengths and drivers of Chinese banking that arise from being embedded in the Chinese political economy and shaped by both international best practice and traditional cultural factors. A Western analytical framework will miss these essential factors and lead to wrong conclusions. Stent demonstrates that the banking system can be used as a prism for understanding how the contemporary Chinese political economy works. \nStent has made a career in banking in Asia. He served for 13 years as an independent director of two Chinese banks between the years 2003 and 2016\, providing him with an insider’s view of how the transformation of Chinese banks proceeded.

SUMMARY:Tectonic Geopolitical Shift? The China-Russia-US Strategic Triangle in the Trump Era
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \n\n\nLyle Goldstein\, Associate Professor\, US Naval War College\nVitaly Kozyrev\, Associate Professor of Political Science\, Endicott College\, Beverly\, MA \n\n\nResurgent China-Russia relations have formed a new and major factor in global politics over the last decade and especially in the last few years.  The current world order has come to resemble in some disturbing respects the two distinct and hostile camps that characterized the early Cold War period.  Indeed\, accelerating cooperation between Moscow and Beijing in the military\, diplomatic\, and economic spheres has been widely seen as a major threat to US national security.  While scholars have actively debated whether these steps toward enhanced strategic cooperation are merely symbolic and paper over major differences\, few have challenged the basic premise that Middle Kingdom’s financial heft taken together with the Kremlin’s agile diplomatic maneuvers could form a significant challenge to the West.  However\, the surprise election of Donald Trump may appear to disrupt the unfolding logic described above.  Undoubtedly\, a rapprochement between Washington and Moscow that mitigates or even eradicates the sense of a “New Cold War” would impact on the other key lattices of the classic strategic triangle:  both Russia-China relations as well as the all-important US-China relationship.  This talk will draw on unique Chinese and Russian source material to evaluate the prospects for such a major tectonic geopolitical shift. \nCosponsored by the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies
