SUMMARY:Prof. Dr. Martin Welp (Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development): "Greening for urban wellbeing: A Sustainability Assessment of the Kökyar Protection Forest in NW China"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nChina has made remarkable achievements in increasing forest and vegetation cover in large parts of the country. The Three-North Shelter Forest Program (also known as the great green wall) is one the famous national initiatives to hold back desertification. On the local level\, the city of Aksu\, located at the fringe of the Taklimakan desert in NW China\, started already in the 1980s preparing and planting the so called Kökyar protection forest. It is an ecological engineering project with the intent of protecting the city from frequent dust and sand storms. The forest is well-known in China\, has been awarded by the UN and is highlighted as an achievement of the so called “Kökyar-spirit”. We examined the shelterbelt from a broader perspective\, embedding Kökyar to the wider context of social and environmental problems in South Xinjiang. Results affirm the economic sustainability of the shelterbelt\, but see a mixed record for the social sphere as well as negative trade-offs when looking at the ecological dimensions — especially due high water consumption of the protection forest (a combination of poplar shelterbelts and orchards) and its impacts down-stream. There is a trade-off between artificial shelterbelt plantations for urban ecosystem services on the one hand side\, and natural riparian forests and their biodiversity on the other hand side. In such agroforestry schemes systemic interactions need to be considered and locally adapted species favored. \nShort bio:\nMartin Welp holds a professorship in Socioeconomics and Communication at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (Faculty of Forest and Environment). He is head of the International Master Study Programme Global Change Management (M.Sc.). He earned his Doctoral degree at the Technische Universität Berlin in Germany and his Master’s degree in Forestry at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Before his current position he worked as senior researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK)\, Department Global Change and Social Systems. He is engaged in stakeholder dialogues in science-policy-platforms as well as in management\, researching positions and agreements among actors\, dialogue methods and the theoretical framing of such dialogues. Research projects have focused on global (environmental) change with special attention to socio-economic dimensions and human well-being. Past projects include among others SuMaRiO – Sustainable Management of River Oases along the Tarim River / China funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The full list of projects and publications in the field of climate mitigation and adaptation as well natural resources management (integrated coastal zone management\, integrated river basin management\, forest management\, and arid land management can be found at URL:  www.hnee.de/welp.

SUMMARY:Prof. Selçuk Esenbel (Department of History\, Boğaziçi University Istanbul): „Japan and China on the Silk Road: A Global History of Politics and Culture in Eurasia“
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nJapan on the Silk Road is a  global history  of politics and culture from the late 19th century until the end of the second world war connected to  the Great Game between competing empires of Russia\, Britain\, and China in the vast area of Eurasia across the Middle East and Central Asia. Between 1868-1945 Japanese diplomats\, military officers\, archaeologists\, and linguists traversed the land locked and maritime Silk Roads pursuing imperial interest and exploring ancient civilizations. \nA global team of scholars bring to light Japan’s intellectual and political encounters with the peoples and cultures of Asia\, in particular Turks and Persians\, Hindus and Muslims of India\, Mongolians and the Uyghur of Inner Asia\, and Muslims in China. The study exposes the entanglements of pre-war Japanese Pan-Asianism with Pan-Islamism\, Turkic nationalism and Mongolian independence as a global history of imperialism and the Japanese connections to Ottoman Turkey\, India\, Egypt\, Iran\, Afghanistan\, and China. At the same time it reveals a discrete global narrative of cosmopolitanism in  Japan’s intellectual and political encounters with the peoples and cultures of  Eurasia Asia along this  transnational geography. The Japanese experience also shows the background to the One Belt One Road  vision of China today and the revival of the “Silk Road” as a geography of competition and contestation. \nShort bio:\nProf. Selçuk Esenbel got her BA from George Washington University\, M.S. from Georgetown University and Ph.D from Columbia University. She has been Chair of History Department\, Director of Asian Studies Center\, Turkish Director of Confucius Institute\, and University Administrative Council Member; she is President of Japanese Studies Association in Turkey since 2002. Her latest publications include: Turk-Cin Iliskilerine Turkiye’den Bakislar (Turkish-Chinese Relations: Perspectives from Turkey\, 2012)\, Japan\, Turkey\, and the World of Islam: The Writings of Selcuk Esenbel (2011)\, and Japan and the World of Islam: Transnational Nationalism and World Power\, 1868-1945 (forthcoming\, 2014). She got the High Achivement Award for Senior Scholars from Boğaziçi University in 2005\, and the Special Prize for Japanese Studies from Japan Foundation in 2007.
