SUMMARY:China: End of the Reform Era w/ Carl Minzner
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\nChina: End of the Reform Era\n\n\n\nA Public Talk by Professor Carl Minzner\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMonday\, May 1st\, 20174:00-6:00 pmOrozco Room (712)\, 66 West 12th St\, New York\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin ICI for an exciting talk by University of Fordham law professor Carl Minzner as he discusses the core factors that have characterized China’s ending reform era. Professor Minzner’s recent publications include “China After the Reform Era” and “The Rise and Fall of Chinese Legal Education”. \n\n\n\nAbout the Talk: \n\n\n\nChina’s reform era is ending. Core factors that characterized it – political stability\, ideological openness\, and rapid economic growth – are unraveling.  Since the early 1990s\, Beijing’s leaders have set their face against fundamental political reform of China’s one-Party system.  On the surface\, this has been a success.  The past three decades have seen political turmoil topple former Communist East bloc regimes\, internal unrest overtake Mideast nations\, and populist movements rise to challenge established Western democracies.  China\, in contrast\, has appeared a relative haven of stability and growth. But a closer look at China’s reform era reveals a different truth.  Over the past three decades a frozen political system has fueled both the rise of entrenched interests within the Communist Party itself\, and the systematic underdevelopment of institutions of governance among state and society at large.  Economic cleavages have widened\, social unrest worsened\, and ideological polarization deepened.  Now\, to address these looming problems\, China’s leaders are progressively cannibalizing institutional norms and practices that have formed the bedrock of the regime’s stability in the reform era.  Uncertainty hangs in the air as a new future slouches towards Beijing to be born. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker: \n\n\n\nCarl Minzner is an expert in Chinese law and governance. He has written extensively on these topics in both academic journals and the popular press\, including op-eds appearing in the New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, Los Angeles Times\, and Christian Science Monitor. Prior to joining Fordham\, he was an Associate Professor of Law at Washington University in St. Louis. In addition\, he has served as Senior Counsel for the Congressional-Executive Commission on China\, International Affairs Fellow for the Council on Foreign Relations\, and Yale-China Legal Education Fellow at the Xibei Institute of Politics and Law in Xi’an\, China. He has also worked as an Associate at McCutchen & Doyle (Palo Alto\, CA) and as a Law Clerk for Hon. Raymond Clevenger of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

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.
