SUMMARY:Reflections on the Cultural Revolution: Impact and Legacy of the Cultural Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Impact and Legacy of the Cultural RevolutionProfessor Xu Youyu\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Scholar in Residence\, The New School. \n \nThursday\, October 13th\, 4:00-5:30 PM80 Fifth Ave (#529)\, The New School \n \n\n\n\n \nThis year marks the 50th anniversary of the launching of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. The “cultural” revolution was full of violence and suppression\, and shrouded in conspiracy. It stunned the world and lasted 10 years. However\, the topic has been a taboo in discourse and academic studies in China. The seminar series\, attempting to address some of the crucial questions concerning the movement\, is comprised of four parts\, with each part focusing on a different theme. The speaker will deal with key controversies surrounding each theme and develop his own positions. \nImpact and Legacy of the Cultural Revolution: Was the Cultural Revolution a period of great democracy or anti-democracy? Why do Mao’s former loyal followers fight for democracy? Do Chinese today condemn the Cultural Revolution\, or view it with some nostalgia?

SUMMARY:Colloquium on the Economies and Societies of India and China - Olle Törnquist
DESCRIPTION:Olle Törnquist\n\n\n\nCan social democracy be reinvented? Insights from Indian and Scandinavian comparisons\n\n\n\nOct 17\, 2016 | 4-6pm Orozco Room\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the age of market driven globalisation\, social democracy is hard pressed. Can it be reinvented? Scholars on Scandinavia and India are just out with a joint book that is the first to compare experiences in the South and the North. Having identified the universal processes of social democracy and analysed Indian experiences by asking questions from Scandinavia\, and vice versa\,  they arrive at four general conclusions. One\, the development strategy from the 1930s remain tenable\, but it is missing a fundamental pillar in the form of comprehensive industrialisation and relatively coherent labour movement and modernisation oriented employers. The conditions for social growth pacts are poor in countries like India. Two\, however\, these conditions can be improved by transformative politics. Several additional historical factors in the rise of social democracy remain valid in the South too. Three\, renewal in the South calls for reversed priorities. Struggles for welfare state\, decent conditions at work and representation of the most vital interests in public policy making and administration must come ahead of social growth pacts. A number of experiences suggest that this may not be impossible. Four\, it should be in the enlightened self-interest of social democracy in countries like Sweden and Norway to support such processes. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker: \n\n\n\nOlle Törnquist\n\n\n\nProfessor of Political Science and Development Research\, University of Oslo\, Olle has written widely on radical politics\, development and democratization. In addition to parts of India\, especially Kerala\, his main empirical focus since the 1970s is Indonesia\, where he also co-directs research with scholarly activists. His recent books are Assessing Dynamics of Democratisation (Palgrave\, 2013) and the anthologies (with co-editors) Democratisation in the Global South (Palgrave\, 2013) and Reclaiming the State: Overcoming Problems of Democracy in Post-Soeharto Indonesia (PolGo; PCD 2015).
