SUMMARY:Global Warming and the Rise of Asia w/ Amitav Ghosh & Prasenjit Duara
DESCRIPTION:Global Warming & the Rise of Asia w/ Amitav Ghosh and Prasenjit Duara\n\n\n\nThe India China Institute engages two renowned intellectuals – Amitav Ghosh and Prasenjit Duara – in a conversation on climate change and capitalism in Asia. \n\n\n\nOpening remarks by The New School President David van Zandt. \n\n\n\nConversation moderated by ICI Research Scholar and NYU History Professor David Ludden. \n\n\n\nFriday\, Feb 12th\, 20165:30 -7:30 PM \n\n\n\n63 Fifth Ave\, Tishman AuditoriumUniversity Center\, The New School \n\n\n\nSOLD OUT \n\n\n\nWatch Livestream – starts at 5:30 pm EST \n\n\n\nAmitav Ghosh\n\n\n\nEmpire and the Anthropocene: Asia’s place in the genealogy of global warming\n\n\n\nIn accounts of the Anthropocene\, and of the present climate crisis\, capitalism is usually the pivot on which the narrative turns. But this narrative overlooks a driver of history that is of equal importance: Empire and imperialism. The relation between capitalism and empire is not\, and has never been\, a simple one: in relation to global warming the imperatives of capital and empire have often pushed in different directions\, producing some unexpected and counter-intuitive results. To look at the climate crisis through the prism of Empire is to recognize that the continent of Asia is conceptually critical to every aspect of global warming: it’s causes\, it’s philosophical and historical implications\, and to the possibility of a global response to it. \n\n\n\nAmitav Ghosh was born in Calcutta and grew up in India\, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. He is the author of one book of non-fiction\, a collection of essays and eight novels\, of which the most recent is Flood of Fire (Book 3 in the Ibis Trilogy). His books have won prizes in India\, Europe and Myanmar and he has been awarded honorary degrees by the Sorbonne\, Paris\, and by Queens College\, New York. \n\n\n\nPrasenjit Duara\n\n\n\n Network Asia and the Problem of Sustainability\n\n\n\nThe December 2015 Climate Change Summit (COP21) was a landmark event for the global recognition of the planetary crisis of sustainability. But as is well known there are significant gaps between recognition and implementation of the largely voluntary commitments; the latter depends upon a range of monumental transformations not only in the market and technological management of carbon emissions but also notions of sovereignty that will have to allow for extra-national monitoring and changes in expectations and life-styles. \n\n\n\nThe same globalization process which has brought about this recognition had in the last decade also accelerated capitalist regionalization of the world\, including the re-connection of Asian societies\, especially around China\, India and Southeast Asia\, particularly ASEAN. While policy makers intended the integration of Asia to enhance capitalist competitiveness\, the new or renewed connections will have to be mobilized equally to address problems of regional and global sustainability. What are the forces working for sustainability in the region and how can they be enhanced? \n\n\n\nPrasenjit Duara is the Oscar Tang Chair of East Asian Studies at Duke University. Born and educated in India\, he received his PhD in Chinese history from Harvard University. He was Professor of History and East Asian Studies at University of Chicago (1991-2008) and Raffles Professor and Director of Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore (2008-2015). His latest book is The Crisis of Global Modernity: Asian Traditions and a Sustainable Future (Cambridge 2014). \n\n\n\nCo-sponsors:  Global Studies and Environmental Studies at Eugene Lang College\, The Center for Public Scholarship\, South Asia – New York University\, Baruch College – CUNY.

SUMMARY:e-Waste Tsunami
DESCRIPTION:e-waste Tsunami\n\n\n\nSheila C. Johnson Design CenterArnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries \n\n\n\nMarch 5 – March 26\, 2016Opening reception: Friday\, March 4\, 6:00-8:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nBehind the virtual worlds conjured by our computers and mobile phones is the very real world of electronic trash—e-waste: where electronic equipment goes to die. Tracing the journey from wealthy desktops to the poorest corners of the world\, this multi-media exhibition defines new ways to see and connect the global ecosystems behind the creation\, use and disposal of products and services in today’s technologically connected world. Understanding the interrelation of the ecosystems is key to the design of new products and services that will address and alleviate the e-waste problem. Can industrial design\, which plays a major role in creating this problem\, be part of its solution? \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features documentary photographs of those who work with e-waste on a daily basis from the frontline in Delhi\, India\, along with data visualizations revealing the scale of the problem. Real data and “exploded view” models explore the nature of product manufacture and assembly. Exhibition visitors are introduced to the physicality of electronic products and the end of life cycle of manufactured objects\, raising the question – Why are we currently not designing for this occurrence? \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is a joint work of the students of Parsons’ School of Constructed Environments\, Industrial Design MFA creating exploded view assemblies which make up a product\, and STUDIOFYNN’s photographic documentary and data visualization. The assemblies paired with photo documentary and data analysis inspire urgency around creating new approaches to design and consumption\, international public policy and human rights advocacy. Comprehensive solutions to this problem will come about when all stakeholders – legislators\, designers\, policy makers\, NGOs\, corporations and last but not least\, citizens take responsibility and participate. \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center\,  Parsons School of Constructed Environments\, and the India China Institute at The New School.  In-kind support for printing generously provided by Duggal. \n\n\n\nRELATED PROGRAMS: \n\n\n\ne-waste Tsunami: Design & Policy Response – Panel Discussion Friday\, March 11\, 2016\, 6:00-8:00 p.m.Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Auditorium\, 66 Fifth Avenue \n\n\n\nThis panel brings together designers\, policy experts\, and supply-chain participants to raise e-waste awareness and imagine best practice scenarios. The immediate audiences are those who are involved in the design and manufacture of consumer and electronic products\, while the secondary audience is very broad and covers those concerned with the broader environmental and social issues around manufactured goods and consumerism. This will be of interest to anyone who wishes to expand their view on the eco systems around the products of technology we consume today. \n\n\n\nIntroduction: Brian McGrath\, Dean\, Parsons School of Constructed Environments \n\n\n\nInterlocutor: Rama Chorpash\, Director MFA Industrial Design\, Parsons \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\n\nShaun Fynn\, CEO and Creative Director\, Studio Fynn\nAmita Singh D.Sc CFO and Director of Quantitative Research\, Studio Fynn\nJohn S. Shegerian\, Co-founder\, Chairman and CEO of Electronic Recyclers International (ERI) and Urban Mining\nPrasad Boradkar\, Professor\, Industrial Design\, Senior Sustainability Scholar\, Arizona State University.\n\n\n\n\nAdmission is Free; no tickets or reservations required; seating is first-come\, first-served.

SUMMARY:Public Talk & Book Launch: China's Future
DESCRIPTION:Watch Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin India China Institute for a discussion on what the future holds for China with David Shambaugh. \n\n\n\nBook Description \n\n\n\nChina’s future is arguably the most consequential question in global affairs. Having enjoyed unprecedented levels of growth\, China is at a critical juncture in the development of its economy\, society\, polity\, national security\, and international relations. The direction the nation takes at this turning point will determine whether it stalls or continues to develop and prosper. \n\n\n\nWill China be successful in implementing a new wave of transformational reforms that could last decades and make it the world’s leading superpower? Or will its leaders shy away from the drastic changes required because the regime’s power is at risk? If so\, will that lead to prolonged stagnation or even regime collapse? Might China move down a more liberal or even democratic path? Or will China instead emerge as a hard\, authoritarian and aggressive superstate? \n\n\n\nIn this new book\, David Shambaugh argues that these potential pathways are all possibilities – but they depend on key decisions yet to be made by China’s leaders\, different pressures from within Chinese society\, as well as actions taken by other nations. Assessing these scenarios and their implications\, he offers a thoughtful and clear study of China’s future for all those seeking to understand the country’s likely trajectory over the coming decade and beyond. \n\n\n\nAbout David Shambaugh \n\n\n\nDavid Shambaugh is is an internationally recognized authority and author on contemporary China and the international relations of Asia\, with a strong interest in the European Union and transatlantic issues. He is currently the Director of the China Policy Program and a Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at George Washington University. Professor Shambaugh is a prolific author\, having published more than 30 books and 300 articles. \n\n\n\nWatch the video of David Shambaugh’s talk below.

SUMMARY:Triple Play | 3 Films on Kashmir w/ Filmmaker Sarah Singh
DESCRIPTION:TRIPLE PLAY: Three films on Kashmir\nFilm Screening and Panel Discussion on Kashmir \nAward-winning filmmaker and New School alumna Sarah Singh \nPanel – Mohamed Junaid and Prof. Nitin Sawhney in conversation with Sarah Singh \n 5:45pm-7pm | Theresa Lang Community Center (55 W 13th St\, NY) \n\nAll three films are approximately 10 min each. \n\nThe Sky Below (segment from her award-winning documentary)\nA Million Rivers (segment from her new surrealist fiction work)\nSufiyana: Music of the 21st Century (segment from a new film in progress)\n\nThese three completely different film works offers a rare opportunity to construct a cubistic portrait of a people\, land\, culture\, history\, and future\, thereby expanding the narrative portrayal regarding one of the most disturbing and dangerous regional issues of our time. Kashmir is at the forefront of global politics\, like a stick of dynamite between two nuclear nations. The region has been called a ‘frozen conflict’ in which many thousands of lives have been destroyed by a deadly cocktail of internal and external players over decades. \nWhat are the possible outcomes or ways forward in what appears to be an increasingly hostile and desperate clash where ramifications echo across the world\, and importantly\, resonate immediately across Central\, South\, and East Asia? \nThe event is co-sponsored by The India China Institute\, the School of Media Studies and the Engage Media Lab at The New School. \nEvent on Facebook. \nAbout the Filmmaker \nSarah Singh was born in Patiala\, Punjab\, India and moved to the US in 1974. She is an award-winning filmArtist and has completed two feature-length films\, several short film works\, and is in the development of a third feature film. Sarah has worked in the film and TV industry for over a decade. Prior to that she exhibited paintings\, drawings and photography. Starting from her first solo show in 1996 at the Prithvi Gallery in Juhu\, Bombay\, her work has been privately collected. She is on the Board of Advisors for Sindhi Voices Project and The Journal for Ethnic and Migration Studies. \nYou can learn more about Singh’s work on her website. You can follow Sarah on @sarahsinghNY. \nThe Sky Below  is a critically-acclaimed doc on the 1947 Partition of the Subcontinent and the Kashmir question. \nA Million Rivers recently had its’ world premiere at the V&A Museum and will premiere in New York later this Fall. This is an opportunity to get a sneak preview of one of the main thematic aspects of this work. The film starts Om Puri\, Lillete Dubey and Asif Basra as “the man from Kashmir”. \nMusic For the 21st Century is a new film series devoted to exploring music traditions and practices across the Subcontinent. This segment showcases a memorial concert for the world’s last known Kashmir Sufiyana master\, Ghulam Mohammed Saznawaz. \n

SUMMARY:Mountains and Sacred Landscapes Conference
DESCRIPTION:The India China Institute (ICI) at The New School\, the International Society for the Study of Religion\, Nature and Culture (ISSRNC)\, American University’s Center for Latin American and Latino Studies (CLALS)\, and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) are excited to announce an international conference on Mountains and Sacred Landscapes at The New School in New York City from Thursday\, April 20th to Sunday\, April 23rd\, 2017. The conference will include the latest research on the intersections of religion\, nature and culture and will also feature a special presentation from the India China Institute’s three-year research project on Sacred Landscapes and Sustainable Futures in the Himalaya (Sacred Himalaya Initiative). \n\n\n\nDiverse mountain communities from the Himalayas to the Andes to the Appalachians face growing pressures linked to social and ecological changes. Melting glaciers\, shifting agricultural patterns\, conflicts over mining and resource extraction\, and risks to livelihoods\, the consequences of increasingly erratic global climate change\, pose unknown future challenges to many sacred landscapes\, including mountain communities and ecosystems and those beings\, human and nonhuman alike\, who rely on these habitats. Scholars have even suggested we have entered a fundamentally new geologic epoch called the Anthropocene. \n\n\n\nThe conference seeks to critically explore how the idea of sacred landscapes is entangled with these communities\, with a particular interest in topics related to mountain landscapes. Some of the issues we hope to explore include: major challenges and opportunities facing communities in the 21st century; religious conceptualizations of place and landscape; relationships between mountain spiritualities and peoples adapting to climate change; traditional ecological knowledge held by communities that can help address issues of social and ecological justice; the future of mountain and forest peoples; and the fate of more than human worlds inhabiting these diverse landscapes. What kinds of meanings shape and are shaped by the effects of climate change\, mass extinction\, human population growth\, and the ecological degradation of mountains\, forests\, rivers\, and other sacred landscapes? How do ritual activities linked to sacred landscapes respond to environmental challenges\, or not? How do mountains—as highly biodiverse ecosystems\, as critical sources of water\, energy\, and materials\, as repositories of tradition\, and as sacred beings—remain vital components in ongoing processes of religious change? How do understandings of the sacred manifest within and across different landscapes\, such as deserts\, rivers\, or forests? \n\n\n\nYou can view and download the pdf version of the Conference Program.

SUMMARY:Book Launch w/ Jonathan Bach
DESCRIPTION:LEARNING FROM SHENZEN: CHINA’S POST-MAO EXPERIMENT FROM SPECIAL ZONE TO MODEL CITY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us on Wednesday evening\, April 26th\, for a reception celebrating the publication of Learning from Shenzhen: China’s Post-Mao Experiment from Special Zone to Model City\, edited by Mary Ann O’Donnell\, Winnie Wong\, & Jonathan Bach (University of Chicago Press\, 2017). \n\n\n\nThis multidisciplinary volume presents an account of China’s contemporary transformation via one of its most important yet overlooked cities: Shenzhen\, located just north of Hong Kong. From an experimental site as the first of China’s special economic zones\, Shenzhen is now a dominant city at the crossroads of the global economy\, a UNESCO City of Design\, and the hub of China’s emerging technology industries. A city of contradictions\, it embodies the spatial and temporal intricacies of the contemporary urban experience. The book explores especially how urban villages and informal institutions enabled social transformation. Through cases of labor\, architecture\, gender\, public health\, politics\, education\, and more\, this urban case study serves to explore critical problems for modern-day China and beyond. \n\n\n\nThe book just received prominent mention in the latest Economist magazine special feature on the Pearl River Delta. \n\n\n\nRemarks by co-editor and author\, Jonathan Bach\, chair of the Global Studies Program (New School)\, Mark Frazier\, Professor of Politics (New School)\, and special guest Na Fu\, Luce Visiting Scholar in Urban Studies at Trinity College and head of the research department at the Shenzhen Center for Design. \n\n\n\nRefreshments will be served and books will be available for purchase at a discount. \n\n\n\nSponsored by the interdisciplinary programs in Global Studies\, Urban Studies\, and Environmental Studies\, the India China Institute\, the Department of Anthropology\, and the Graduate Program in International Affairs.

SUMMARY:India China: Rethinking Borders and Security - Book Launch
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\nIndia China: Rethinking Borders and Security\n\n\n\nBook launch with authors: L.H.M. Ling\, Adriana Abdenur\, Payal Banerjee\, Nimmi Kurian\, Mahendra P. Lama\, Li Bo \n\n\n\nMonday\, May 22\, 4:00-6:oo pmOrozco Room (712)\, 66 West 12th St\n\n\n\nRemarks by:Mary Watson\, Executive Dean\, NSPETansen Sen\, Professor\, CUNYAshok Gurung\, Senior Director\, ICI \n\n\n\n RSVP NOW \n\n\n\nUniversity of Michigan Press (2016)\n\n\n\nAbout the Book \n\n\n\nChallenging the Westphalian view of international relations\, which focuses on the sovereignty of states and the inevitable potential for conflict\, the authors from the Borderlands Study Group reconceive borders as capillaries enabling the flow of material\, cultural\, and social benefits through local communities\, nation-states\, and entire regions. By emphasizing local agency and regional interdependencies\, this metaphor reconfigures current narratives about the China India border and opens a new perspective on the long history of the Silk Roads\, the modern BCIM Initiative\, and dam construction along the Nu River in China and the Teesta River in India. \n\n\n\nTogether\, the authors show that positive interaction among people on both sides of a border generates larger\, cross-border communities\, which can pressure for cooperation and development. India China offers the hope that people divided by arbitrary geo-political boundaries can circumvent race\, gender\, class\, religion\, and other social barriers\, to form more inclusive institutions and forms of governance. \n\n\n\nLing and her collaborators have ambitions that are not merely explanatory but also transformative: they seek not merely to make sense of an existing conflict\, but by diagnosing it in terms of blocked flows and interrupted balances\, they seek to envision ways to resolve (or\, better\, to dis-solve) it. If the more typical IR explanatory social-scientific question would be ‘why is this India-China conflict as virulent as it is?\,’ their question is instead ‘what does the present state of the conflict reveal about how to change things?’ The transformative question encompasses the explanatory question and presses it onto novel terrain; call the results ‘explanation-plus.’ —Patrick Thaddeus Jackson\, Editor\, Configurations Series\, University of Michigan Press and Professor\, School of International Service\, American University \n\n\n\nAbout the Authors \n\n\n\n\nL. H. M. Ling is Professor of International Affairs at The New School in New York\, USA. \n \nAdriana Abdenur is a Fellow with the Igarapé Institute\, in Rio de Janeiro\, and a Productivity Scholar with the Brazilian National Council for Technological and Scientific Development (CNPq).\n  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPayal Banerjee is an Associate Professor with the Department of Sociology at Smith College in Northampton\, MA.\n\n\n\nNimmi Kurian is an Associate Professor at the Centre for Policy Research (CPR) in New Delhi\, India\, and India Representative\, India China Institute\, The New School\, New York. \n\n\n\nMahendra P.

SUMMARY:EMERGING PUBLIC SPACE IN\OF THE PEARL RIVER DELTA SYMPOSIUM
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the symposium is to discuss variations of the concept of urban public space and multiplicities of public spatial practice that have emerged in the context of the Pearl River Delta’s rapid urban development in the last forty years. We are particularly interested in exploring characteristics that make the public space and socio-spatial practices in this region distinct from urban development in China and East Asia in general\, as well as searching for research practices and points of view that are currently emerging or have been under-explored in this context.The symposium brings together fourteen participants who will present different perspectives on this expansive theme from the fields of urbanism\, architecture\, planning\, sociology\, and politics both academics and professional practitioners. The talks will be informative in reporting on findings from current research and practice\, and are aimed at constituting a series of provocations about the innovative ways of framing and conceptualizing public space inof Pearl River Delta. \n\n\n\nORGANIZED IN COLLABORATION with the School of Design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and with the India China Institute\, The New School \n\n\n\nSPONSORED BY the School of Design Strategies\, Parsons School of Design\, Urban @Parsons\, and The India China Institute\, The New School \n\n\n\n\nCONFERENCE SCHEDULE: \n9:00 WELCOME / GENERAL INTRODUCTION: \nTim Marshall\, Provost\, The New School \nJoel Towers\, Executive Dean\, Parsons School of Design \nAshok Gurung\, Director\, India China Institute \n9:30 SESSION 1 \nModerated by Miodrag Mitrasinovic\, The New School \nAdam Frampton\, Columbia University \nGeorgeen Theodore\, NJIT \nJonathan Bach\, The New School \nAdrian Blackwell\, Uof Waterloo \nBrian McGrath\, The New School \n11:30-12:00 PANEL DISCUSSION \nmoderated by Mark Frazier \n12:00-1:00 LUNCH \n1:00 SESSION 2 \nModerated by Mark Frazier\, The New School \nDavid Grahame Shane\, Columbia University \nYang Xiaochun and Gao Wenxiu\, Shenzhen \nUniversity \nTim Simpson\, University of Macau \n Stefan Al\, UPenn \nMargaret Crawford\, UC Berkeley \n3:00-3:30 PANEL DISCUSSION \nModerated by Miodrag Mitrasinovic \n3:30-4:00 COFFEE BREAK \n4:00-5:00 ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION \nModerated by Tim Jachna\, Hong Kong Polytechnic SD

SUMMARY:Rebel Retirement Through Informal Exit Networks: Evidence from India w/ Rumela Sen
DESCRIPTION:Rebel Retirement Through Informal Exit Networks: Evidence from India\nA CESIC Seminar w/\nPost-Doctoral Research Fellow Rumela Sen\nOct 2\, 20174-6 pm\, Orozco Room\n  \nUnder what conditions do insurgents give up arms and return to the same political processes that they had once sought to overthrow? A lot has been written on why men and women rebel. But we know very little about how rebels quit. In this paper I show that rebels quit through informal exit networks that thrive in the underbelly of grassroots associations of civic participation. They are made up of ordinary people in conflict zones who live their everyday lives one foot in democracy and one foot in insurgency. \nThe empirical puzzle for this study is drawn from the ongoing Maoist insurgency in India that has claimed 6\,760 lives in the last ten years and has been acknowledged as the biggest internal security threat that the country has ever faced. Despite comparable conflict intensity (measured in terms of incidents and casualties) and unified command structure of the rebel organization\, retirement is exceptionally high in the south and very low in the north. Further\, both in the north and in the south\, rebel retirement is concentrated in some districts and not others. \nAbout the Speaker \nRumela Sen is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Political Science at Columbia University.  She studied Comparative Politics in the Department of Government at Cornell University. Her current research focuses on rebel retirement and reintegration with empirical evidence drawn primarily from South Asia.

SUMMARY:Live Baccarat Calculations: Macau Machine Gaming and the Production of the Post-Socialist Subject
DESCRIPTION:Following Portugal’s return of Macau to the People’s Republic of China in 1999\, the local government liberalized the city’s 150-year-old casino monopoly concession and invited participation by select foreign gaming companies. Over the following decade these companies produced a phantasmagoric Macau cityscape comprised of enormous integrated casino resorts such as the Venetian\, Parisian\, Wynn\, MGM\, and City of Dreams. As a result\, tiny Macau is now the world’s most lucrative site of casino gaming\, and is visited by more than 30 million tourists per year. The majority of Macau’s casino revenues are derived from Chinese high-rollers who gamble in private VIP rooms. However\, due to a recent slowdown of China’s economy\, as well as a central government crackdown on corruption and tightening of illicit cross-border financial flows\, Macau’s VIP gambling revenues have decreased significantly. Therefore\, Macau’s gaming operators are seeking to diversify the industry and to target Chinese ‘mass market’ tourists. This paper analyzes an electronic casino game called LIVE Baccarat\, which was specifically created for the Macau market and designed to appeal to ordinary Chinese gamblers. Drawing on the work of Michel Callon and Michel Foucault\, I explore the ways in which the LIVE Baccarat gaming machine ‘economizes’ the casino game of baccarat by introducing novel betting functions which require gamblers to engage in various forms of financial calculation. LIVE Baccarat may be understood as an apparatus\, or dispositif\, of subjection of a Chinese ‘mass market’ gambler – an individuated\, speculating\, calculating\, and risk-taking subject\, and a form of ‘human capital’ that Foucault might call an ‘entrepreneur of the self’. This nascent Chinese economic subject is not only important to Macau’s gaming industry\, but to post-socialist market reforms in the PRC\, and perhaps ultimately to the sustainability of global capitalism.This is an India China Institute event\, co-sponsored by the School of Design Strategies\, Parsons School of Design\, and the Global Studies Program\, The New School \nRSVP Here:

SUMMARY:Welfare\, Work\, And Poverty: Social Assistance in China W/ Qin Gao
DESCRIPTION:Welfare\, Work\, And Poverty\n\n\n\nTalk by Professor Qin Gao\n\n\n\nOctober 12\, 2017 | 4:00-5:30 pmHirshon Suite | 55 W 13th St NY New York NY 10011 \n\n\n\nWelfare\, Work\, and Poverty\, Professor Qin Gao’s new book\,  provides the first systematic and comprehensive evaluation of the impacts and effectiveness of China’s primary social assistance program — Minimum Livelihood Guarantee\, or Dibao — since its inception in 1993. Dibao serves the dual function of providing a basic safety net for the poor and maintaining social and political stability. Despite currently being the world’s largest welfare program in terms of population coverage\, evidence on Dibao’s performance has been lacking. This book offers important new empirical evidence and draws policy lessons that are timely and useful for both China and beyond. Welfare\, Work\, and Poverty is essential reading for political scientists\, economists\, sociologists\, public policy researchers\, and social workers interested in learning about and understanding contemporary China. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER \n\n\n\nQin Gao is a professor at the Columbia School of Social Work (CSSW)\, a faculty affiliate of the Columbia Population Research Center and of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, and the director of Columbia University’s China Center for Social Policy. She is also an Academic Board Member of the China Institute for Income Distribution at Beijing Normal University and a Public Intellectual Fellow of the National Committee on United States-China Relations. Before joining the CSSW faculty\, she was a professor and the Coordinator of International Initiatives at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Social Service. Dr. Gao’s current research examines the following topics: 1) the Chinese welfare state in transition: size\, structure\, and redistributive effects; 2) effectiveness and impacts of dibao\, China’s primary social assistance program\, and other anti-poverty policies and programs; 3) gender inequality in time use in China and beyond; 4) social protection for rural-to-urban migrants in China and Asian American immigrants; and 5) cross-national comparative social policies and programs. Dr. Gao’s work has been supported by multiple national and international funding sources such as the National Social Science Fund of China\, UNICEF\, and the World Bank. \n\n\n\nLIMITED SEATING

SUMMARY:Reversing Roles? Environmental Politics and Policy in China and the US in the Trump and Xi Jingping Era w/ Robert Gottlieb
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nReversing Roles?\n  \nEnvironmental Politics and Policy in China and the US in the Trump and Xi Jingping Era\n  \nA book talk by Professor Robert Gottlieb \n  \nOctober 18\, 2017 | 6:00-8:00 pm \n  \nOrozco Room (712)\, 66 W. 12th St \n  \nRSVP Now \n  \nAbout the Talk \n  \nHas there been a role reversal between the US and China on the environment? \n  \nChina has long been considered an environmental outlier — horrendous smog episodes\, water unfit to drink and even to irrigate\, huge increases in the number of cars on the road\, a global leader in the use of pesticides\, a major coal producer and importer\, a reluctant participant in global climate negotiations until recently\, and more. The US\, until November 9\, had been seen as at least modestly responsive to environmental concerns. Now with Donald Trump and Scott Pruitt ensconced in Washington seeking to systematically dismantle the environmental policy system in contrast to the passage of environmental legislation and a new role around climate change in China\, the roles do seem to be reversing. Is that an accurate view? \n  \nThe answer is yes and no. The talk will compare current US and China environmental approaches in such areas as air pollution\, transportation\, and food as well as climate change\, and the interplay between national and local or regional government policies and their implementation. It will point to the role of social movements and popular protests to help us understand what has changed and why. And it will look at the structural barriers for change: the nature of China’s embrace of marketization\, developmentalism\, and urbanization on the one hand\, and the continuing power of the fossil fuel industry and other environmentally problematic industry forces in the U.S. to shape or at least block policies. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \n  \nRobert Gottlieb is Emeritus Professor at Occidental College and founder and former executive director of the Urban & Environmental Policy Institute. He is the author or co-author of more than a dozen books; his most recent book\, co-authored with Simon Ng\, is Global Cities: Urban Environments in Los Angeles\, Hong Kong\, and China (MIT Press). \n  \nSponsored by The New School’s interdisciplinary programs in Global Studies\, Urban Studies\, and Environmental Studies\, and the India China Institute. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Religious Change and Disturbed Religious Ecosystems in Jiangsu\, China w/ Robert Weller
DESCRIPTION:Religious Change and Disturbed Religious Ecosystems in Jiangsu\, China \n \n \nTalk by Professor Robert Weller\n \nOctober 26\, 2017 | 4:00-6:00 pmOrozco Room (#712) | 66 W. 12th St\, NY\, The New School \n \nAbout the Talk \n \nRapid urban expansion in wealthy parts of China has led to the resettlement of many villagers into high-rise buildings\, making earlier forms of material and cultural life impossible.  At the same time\, large-scale urban reconstruction has displaced many old city neighborhoods.  One result is that the territorially-based religion described in much of the anthropological and historical literature has become increasingly untenable as the entire ecosystem surrounding it has grown unstable. This talk examines what appears to be an especially creative zone for religious innovation:  the expanding urban edge.  The cases come from various cities in southern Jiangsu and focus on ghost attacks\, a spirit medium network\, and innovations in the forms and objects of temple worship. Theoretically\, the paper thinks about ecosystems in the broadest sense of complexly articulated systems\, without assuming a divide between nature and culture. \n \nAbout the Speaker \n \nRobert Weller is Professor of Anthropology & Director of Graduate Studies at Boston University. Weller’s work concentrates on China and Taiwan in comparative perspective. His actual research topics\, however\, are eclectic—running from ghosts to politics\, rebellions to landscape paintings. Perhaps what unites everything is an interest in finding the limits to authority in all its settings. His publications include Unities and Diversities in Chinese Religion (1987)\,  Resistance\, Chaos\, and Control in China: Taiping Rebels\, Taiwanese Ghosts and Tiananmen (1994)\, Alternate Civilities: Chinese Culture and the Prospects for Democracy (1999)\, Discovering Nature: Globalization and Environmental Culture in China and Taiwan (2006)\, and Ritual and Its Consequences: An Essay on the Limits of Sincerity (2008). \n \nLIMITED SEATING

SUMMARY:Media Politics in China: Improvising Power Under Authoritarianism
DESCRIPTION:Media Politics in China: Improvising Power Under Authoritarianism\n\n\n\nA CESIC Talk with Maria Repnikova\n\n\n\nNovember 3\, 2017 | 4:00-6:00 pmKlein Conference Room (#501) | 66 W. 12th St\, NY\, The New School \n\n\n\nAbout the Talk \n\n\n\nWho watches over the party-state? In her new book\, Maria Repnikova reveals the webs of an uneasy partnership between critical journalists and the state in China. More than merely a passive mouthpiece or a dissident voice\, the media in China also plays a critical oversight role\, one more frequently associated with liberal democracies than with authoritarian systems. Chinese central officials cautiously endorse media supervision as a feedback mechanism\, as journalists carve out space for critical reporting by positioning themselves as aiding the agenda of the central state. Drawing on rare access in the field\, Media Politics in China examines the process of guarded improvisation that has definedthis volatile partnership over the past decade on a routine basis and in the aftermath of major crisis events. Combined with a comparative analysis of media politics in the Soviet Union and contemporary Russia\, the book highlights the distinctiveness of Chinese journalist-state relations\, as well as the renewed pressures facing them in the Xi era. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\n\nDr. Maria Repnikova is a scholar of global communication\, with a comparative focus on China and Russia. Her research examines the processes of political resistance and persuasion in illiberal political contexts\, drawing on ethnographic research approaches and extensive time in the field. Maria holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford\, where she was a Rhodes Scholar. \n\n\n\nLIMITED SEATING

SUMMARY:The 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party and the Futures of Chinese Politics
DESCRIPTION:The 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party and the Futures of Chinese Politics\n\n\n\nDecember 4\, 2017 | 4:00-6:00 pmOrozco Room (712) | 66 W. 12th St\, NY\, The New School \n\n\n\nA Public Talk with Andrew Nathan Columbia University | Hua Ze China Rights in Action | L.H.M. Ling The New School | Mark Frazier The New School | Xu Youyu Chinese Academy of Social Sciences | Zha Jianying Writer \n\n\n\nAbout the Talk \n\n\n\nAs the now undisputed\, strong leader of modern China\, Xi Jinping is uniquely positioned to determine China’s future. Through his emphasis on the ‘Belt and Road’ Initiative\, (BRI)\, Xi demonstrates his intention for China to shape the contours of global affairs as well. \n\n\n\nAt the 19th Party Congress\, Xi Jinping’s ideas on China’s development and role in global affairs were incorporated in the Party’s Constitution. With only five years in office\, Xi has attained a level of personalized power and authority not seen in China in decades. But will Xi’s supremacy go unchallenged in the future? What are the prospects for political change in China under Xi’s self-stated “New Era of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics”. A panel of China experts will discuss these and related questions about China following the 19th Party Congress. \n\n\n\nAbout the Book \n\n\n\nThis panel on China’s multiple political futures is being held in connection with the recent publication of To Build a Free China: A Citizen’s Journey (Lynne Rienner Publishers\, 2017) by Xu Zhiyong\, a former ICI fellow\, and translated by Joshua Rosenzweig and Yaxue Cao. \n\n\n\nDr. Xu is a prominent legal scholar\, civil rights lawyer\, activist\, and founder of the New Citizens’ Movement. He was named one of Asia Weekly’s People of the Year in 2005 and one of the Southern People’s Weekly Top Ten Young Leaders of China in 2006. He was an ICI Fellow from 2008 to 2010. Professor Andrew Nathan\, who wrote the introduction of the book\, will share his thoughts and insights on the specific questions explored by Xu Zhiyong. \n\n\n\nThis event is organized in partnership with Columbia University’s Weatherhead East Asian Institute and co-sponsored by The New School’s Global Studies Program and the Julien J. Studley Graduate Program in International Affairs.

SUMMARY:Agrarian Elites in Urban Real Estate: Urban and Land Transformations along New Economic Corridors in Liberalizing India
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nProfessor Sai Balakrishnan will be exploring the narrative movements of urbanization in contemporary India from megacities to the contested geographies along new economic corridors. As policymakers search for new market-oriented means for the transfer of land from agrarian constituencies to infrastructural promoters and urban developers\, the re-allocation of property control is erupting into volatile land-based social conflicts. Professor Balakrishnan puts forward the argument that some of India’s most decisive conflicts over its urban futures will unfold in these corridor regions where electorally strong agrarian propertied classes are coming into direct encounters with financially powerful incoming urban firms. She calls for new theories of land and urbanization that are capable of incorporating within them the agrarian political economy. Through focusing on the agrarian to urban land-use change along India’s first economic corridor\, the Mumbai-Pune Expressway\, she articulates how diverse agrarian property regimes shape the trajectories of contemporary urbanization in liberalizing India.An India China Institute public event. RSVP here to register for the event. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Xi Jinping and China's Success Trap
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on Professor Mohanty’s more than three decades of research\, this talk will focus on how China’s “reform and open door” policy evolved and helped achieve tremendous economic success. Professor Mohanty will also examine how this policy has generated serious social and environmental problems. \n\n\n\nIn his recent book\, ‘China’s Transformation: The Success Story and the Success Trap’\, Mohanty argues that the consequences of this story of success and growth are so strong that it has been difficult for China to change its main development path and to achieve a desirable level of equity and sustainability. Professor Mohanty describes this as the “success trap” that China is currently grappling with. \n\n\n\nThis event is organized by the India China Institute and co-sponsored by the Global Studies Program at The New School \n\n\n\nLIMITED SEATING

SUMMARY:The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor: Prospects\, Perceptions\, and Potential Implications for India and the US
DESCRIPTION:The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a $62 billion infrastructure project associated with Beijing’s broader Belt and Road Initiative. It entails new roads\, power plants\, and ports across Pakistan as part of China’s global effort to facilitate access to markets far and wide. CPEC has the potential to bring major benefits to Pakistan’s economy\, but because of security and financial issues\, it is also fraught with risk. This lecture will examine CPEC’s prospects; discuss how it is perceived in Pakistan\, China\, India\, and the US; and consider its strategic implications for both New Delhi and Washington. \n\n\n\nMichael Kugelman is the Asia Program Deputy Director and Senior Associate for South Asia at the Woodrow Wilson Center\, where he is responsible for research\, programming\, and publications on the region.
