SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: The 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party
DESCRIPTION:The 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party: a Quantitative Assessment\nVictor Shih\, University of California San Diego \nAbstract: \nTwo important questions that can be asked about the 19th Party Congress\, scheduled to take place in the fall of 2017\, include who will take over key positions at the top of the party hierarchy and whether Party Secretary General Xi Jinping can dominate the upper echelons of the Communist Party.  Drawing from a quantitative biographical database of over 4000 Chinese political elite\, I first attempt to present some theoretical and machine learning predictions about who will enter the Politburo in the fall of 2017.  Then\, using the same data\, I assess whether Xi Jinping already dominates the Chinese Communist Party\, or whether that is still a goal he needs to achieve in the fall congress. \nAbout the lecturer: \nVictor Shih is an associate professor of political economy and has published widely on the politics of Chinese banking policies\, fiscal policies and exchange rates. He was the first analyst to identify the risk of massive local government debt\, and is the author of “Factions and Finance in China: Elite Conflict and Inflation.”\nPrior to joining UC San Diego\, Shih was a professor of political science at Northwestern University and former principal for The Carlyle Group.\nShih is currently engaged in a study of how the coalition-formation strategies of founding leaders had a profound impact on the evolution of the Chinese Communist Party. He is also constructing a large database on biographical information of elites in China.

SUMMARY:Vortrag Prof. Michael Schoenhals (Lund Univ.\, Sweden): „Are they reading our mail? – Postüberwachung in the early People’s Republic of China“
DESCRIPTION:On the basis of Chinese archival records\, this presentation describes and critically assesses – including from a global\, comparative perspective – covert postal inspection as conducted by state security organs in Mao Zedong’s China (1949–1976). According to an early classified directive\, postal inspection and monitoring was to “pay attention to the imperialist countries as well as conduct spot checks of the domestic correspondence of targets.” What ensued in the technically primitive conditions prevailing was\, for many years\, a… \nContinue reading

SUMMARY:“Bhiksunī Chao-Hwei’s Buddhist Social Activism: From Solidarity with the Disadvantaged to Marriage Equality”
DESCRIPTION:Hsiao-Lan Hu\, Ph.D.\n(Associate Professor of Religious Studies\, and Women’s and Gender Studies University of Detroit Mercy) \nAbstract:  \nOn 24 May 2017\, the Supreme Court in Taiwan ruled in favor of marriage equality\, nearly five years after the much celebrated first Buddhist lesbian wedding officiated by Bhiksunī Chao-Hwei. She has officiated a few other same-sex weddings since that time. While the cultural significance of such same-sex weddings officiated by a Buddhist monastic is debatable since lay Buddhists typically do not turn to monks and nuns for weddings and since historically Buddhism has not been vehemently anti-homosexual as many other religions have\, such ceremonies are nonetheless groundbreaking in opening up public discourses. \nIn the Chinese academic and Buddhist circles\, Bhiksunī Chao-Hwei is the lone monastic-scholar-activist who develops systematic discourses on Buddhist ethical principles and actively applies them to social issues. She often condenses Buddhist ethics into three phrases: co-arising\, protection of beings\, and the middle way. Based on these principles\, she engages in social activism defending various groups of sentient beings who are discriminated against and/or deprived of rights by the dominant groups\, including LGBT persons. This lecture aims to examine her reasons for supporting marriage equality in the light of her overall understanding of Buddhist ethics\, and to analyze the significance of her public discourse and social activism.

SUMMARY:Vortrag Prof. Kerry Brown (King’s College\, London): „The Powers of Xi Jinping“
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis year will see the 19th Party Congress. marking a moment of re-evaluation for the Communist Party policy and elite leadership. Under Xi since 2012 there has been what is claimed to have been a concentration of power within his hands. But how can we best understand this power\, and what sense does it make to say that Xi is the new Mao of China? What is his political programme\, and how does it relate to the organisation he is meant to be serving and leading to a sustainable future – the Communist Party of China.’ \nPresenter: \nKerry Brown is Professor of Chinese Studies and Director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College\, London. His main interests are in the politics and society of modern China\, in its international relations and its political economy. His monographs include `Struggling Giant: China in the 21st Century’ (London\, June 2007 )and `Friends and Enemies: The Past\, Present and Future of the Communist Party of China’ (London\, 2009).
