SUMMARY:China's Aid to Africa: Implications and International Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:After decades of deficient Western policies to develop Africa\, China’s increasingly bold\, no-strings approach to investment and aid in Africa attracts both cautious praise and withering criticism. Can China’s aid to Africa be seen as an incipient new developmental model\, a catalyst for prosperity\, a deleterious neo-colonialist gambit\, or elements of all three? Will the flow of Chinese money to Africa undermine arduous efforts at accountability and effective aid by Western institutions\, or can it induce innovation among traditional donors whose own track records are open to much criticism? How should scholars\, policy-makers\, and aid organizations make sense of the impact of China’s inroads into commerce\, extractive industries\, construction\, flows of manufactured goods\, capital and even labor? How do Africans and Chinese view the current efforts of their respective governments\, private sectors\, and civil societies to engage each other? What are the implications for bilateral and multilateral relations\, governance and the environment? \n\n\n\nThe India China Institute\, in conjunction with The New School’s Graduate Program in International Affairs (GPIA) presents a public panel discussion on China’s Aid to Africa with leading scholars\, government officials\, and practitioners from China\, Africa\, the US and Europe. The panel will explore\, inter alia\, the history\, implementation and implications of China’s aid policies towards Africa; the way China’s experience as an aid recipient influences its policies abroad; the impact of China’s aid on African socio-economic development and governance; and how existing donors can respond and engage this new phenomenon. Case studies from Sudan\, the Democratic Republic of Congo\, and Angola will inform the discussion\, and an African government official and international NGO professional will share their experience working with Chinese players in negotiating aid terms and advocating for better environmental and governance standards.Speakers include: \n\n\n\nDeborah Brautigam\, Associate Professor\, School of International Service\, American University;Sun Baohong\, Counselor\, Policy Analysis Section\, Chinese Embassy\, Washington DC;Mukenge Betu-Kabansu\, Secretary of the Vice President of the Democratic Republic of Congo;Zhang Jun\, Researcher\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences\, Beijing;Peter Bosshard\, Policy Director\, International Rivers;Daniel Large\, Research Director of the Africa Asia Centre\, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)\, University of London;Tang Xiaoyang\, PhD Candidate\, Department of Philosophy\, The New School.\n\n\n\nModerated by Jonathan Bach\, Associate Director\, Graduate Program in International Affairs.This event was made possible by the generous support of the NASDAQ Foundation as part of a series of events on “Global China” co-sponsored by the India China Institute at the New School.

SUMMARY:Vision For a New Nepal: A Maoist Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Vision for a New Nepal: A Maoist PerspectiveA dialogue with Dev Prasad Gurung\, Hon. Minister of Local Development & Senior Member of Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) \n\n\n\nBackground: The first-ever Constituent Election in Nepal\, held on April 10th 2008\, produced stunningly different results than most experts predicted. By awarding 120 out of 240 elected seats to the Maoists\, the people of Nepal have expressed strong confidence in the Communist Party‰Ûªs leadership. Without a doubt\, there will be a fundamental shift in the creation of a new Nepal. While 335 seats under the Proportional Representation system have yet to be tallied\, the Maoists will likely lead the new government. Falling short of the simple majority in the Constituent Assembly\, they must work with other political parties to form the future government and rewrite the Constitution. There are many critical issues yet to be addressed: What is the vision for a new Nepal? What type of Federalism will the Maoists help bring about? How will the aspirations of marginalized communities for inclusive democracy become a reality? \n\n\n\nThe Honorable Mr. Dev Prasad Gurung is Minister for Local Development. A member of Central Committee of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)\, he won two constituencies during the election for Constituent Assembly held on April 10\, 2008. Mr. Gurung was born in 1958 in the Manang District in Nepal. He received a certificate of Civil Engineering\, a B.Ed\, and a M.A. in political science from Tribhuvan University. In 1978\, he joined the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) and participated in student movement against Panchayat system. He was elected as a member of Party Central Committee CPN (Unity Centre) in 1992 and to the politburo in 1995. In 1997\, he was arrested in Gorkha and was released from prison in 2000. Two years later\, he was elected as Central Committee Secretary of United Revolutionary People’s Council. In 2002\, he became a member of party negotiation team with the government. In 2005\, he became a member of the 7th Party Congress Central Organizing Committee and Central Secretariat. He is Co-chair of the Nepal Foundation for Development of Indigenous Nationalities.
