SUMMARY:Prof. Xiong Yuegen (Peking Univ.): "Poverty Alleviation as an Instrument of Technical Governance in Rural China”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn the past decades\, China has achieved a great success in poverty reduction by helping more than 800 million of poor farmers out of poverty trap. However\, Chinese government has made a series of serious efforts on social policy implementation in rural areas\, poverty as a problematic persistent issue is still perplexing owing to institutional constraints and policy failure. In 2015\, the Party and central government launched a new national campaign entitled the Targeted Poverty Alleviation Programme aiming to eradicate the problem of poverty in rural areas by 2020. In this lecture\, I will mainly discuss the following issues: First\, how does this national campaign on poverty reduction in the new era differ from the previous ones? Second\, what is the main impact of the targeted poverty reduction programme on the farmers’ life and local government? Third\, what are the main limitations of the top-down model of poverty reduction programme in the centralized regime and its implications for the socio-economic development in future in China. Based on the field research conducted in Jiangxi Province\, the author will link the empirical data with theoretical interpretation on the ongoing social changes in the country. \nBio of the Speaker – Prof. Dr. Xiong Yuegen:\n\nYuegen Xiong is Professor and Director\, The Centre for Social Policy Research (CSPR) in the Department of Sociology at Peking University\, China.

SUMMARY:Prof. Jane Duckett (University of Glasgow): "Who cares about inequality in China? Public attitudes toward inequalities in access to health care "
DESCRIPTION:About the letuerer:\nJane Duckett is Edward Caird Chair of Politics\, International Dean (East Asia)\, and Director of the Scottish Centre for China Research at the University of Glasgow. She is also Guest Professor at Nankai University (Tianjin\, China). In 2012 she received the Lord Provost of Glasgow Education Award. In 2014 she was elected President of the British Association for Chinese Studies. In 2016 she was elected a Fellow of the British Academy. \nProf Duckett’s early research on the Chinese state under market reform included a book-length study\, The Entrepreneurial State in China (Routledge\, 1998). It explained state business activities as the outcome of fiscal and staffing constraints on officials in an institutional context of poorly defined property rights. Jane also (with colleague Bill Miller) made a comparative study of public attitudes to openness in East Asia and Eastern Europe\, published as The Open Economy and its Enemies (CUP\, 2006). Her current research is concerned with the politics of China’s social policy making and implementation. She argues through studies across a range of social policies (on local social welfare financing\, health insurance\, poverty and unemployment)\, that the politics behind them and their enormous redistributive consequences make them central to the Chinese state’s marketising project. Her monograph\, The Chinese State’s Retreat from Health: Policy and the Politics of Retrenchment (Routledge\, hdbk 2011; pbk 2013) draws on comparative political theory to explain the Chinese state’s retrenchment in health care provision. She has also co-edited (with Beatriz Carrillo)\, China’s Changing Welfare Mix: Local Perspectives (Routledge\, 2011)\, a book that takes a local perspective on China’s evolving social welfare provision. She has recently published papers in Health Policy and Planning and Health Expectations that draw on a project to survey Chinese public opinion on health care. \n(Information from The University of Glasgow\, School of Social & Political Sciences)

SUMMARY:Prof. Jeffrey Wasserstrom (UC Irvine): “China and the World in 1900: Stories of the Boxers and the First Global War”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThis illustrated lecture\, entitled “China and the World in 1900: Stories of the Boxers and the First Global War\,” revisits the anti-Christian uprising and international invasion that convulsed the Qing Empire during the final year of the nineteenth century\, paying particular attention to the varied ways these events were understood in different places at the time and the diverse kinds of stories that have been told about them since. As different as the world of 1900 is from our own\, especially when it comes to China’s strength now as opposed to weakness then\, we can see in the Boxer uprising and the response by an Allied Army made up of soldiers from Germany\, Japan\, Britain\, the United States and four other nations and empires many intimations of many things to come in the troubled twentieth century that was about to start and in our own anxious age. \nShort bio: \nGENERIC CAPTIONUC Irvine Chancellor’s professor Jeff Wasserstrom is the chair of the department of history as well as an expert on Chinese history and culture.photo : Steve Zylius/UC Irvine Communications Jeffrey Wasserstrom\, who received his master’s from Harvard and his PhD.
