SUMMARY:Part II: Local Knowledge\, Legal Transplants and the Struggle over Limited Liability
DESCRIPTION:University Seminar\nPlease join for a lecture with: \nMadeleine Zelin\, Dean Lung Professor of Chinese Studies \nHistory and East Asian Languages and Cultures Departments\, Columbia University \n  \nThis is event is part two of a this year’s Schoff Memorial Lecture Series entitled\, “China Semi-Incorporated: The Battle for a Chinese Legal Modernity in the Early Twentieth Century.” \nLaw was central to China’s early twentieth century transformation from empire to republic. This transformation not only uprooted the foundations of political life. It demanded the fashioning of a new and uniquely Chinese legal modernity in the shadow of Western extrater-ritorial privilege. In order to understand the ways in which law devel-oped on contested ground in places like early twentieth century China\, it may be useful to look at seemingly small struggles that reveal the larger processes at work. In these three lectures we will examine just such a struggle. In the first lecture we will see how the idea of the company was naturalized within a Chinese moral universe and came to represent law as the source of western power. In the second\, we will trace the resurrection of the customary realm as it challenged the hegemony of law on the books and the notion that before the arrival of Europeans China had no private law. Finally\, in the third lecture we will take a position as observers to the struggle between Chinese custom and the arrogance of Western legal universality at extraterritorialy’s premier forum\, the Shanghai International Mixed Court. \nMadeleine Zelin is Dean Lung Professor of Chinese Stud-ies and Professor of History and East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University. Beginning with her first book\, The Magistrates Tael\, Zelin’s work has focused on the intersection of formal and informal institutions in the economic\, political and legal development of Chi-na. The Merchants of Zigong: Industrial Enterprise in Early Modern China was awarded the 2006 Allan Sharlin Memo-rial Prize of the Social Science History Association\, the 2006 Fairbank Prize of the Association for Asian Studies and the 2007 Humanities Book Prize of the International Convention on Asian Studies. Zelin served many years as director of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and as Director of Columbia University’s East Asian National Re-source Center. Outside the university she has worked to promote understanding of China in the US and as an integral part of teaching and research in the social sciences\, in roles including Co-Di-rector of the Luce Foundation-AAS Project on Emerging Fields in Asian Studies-Economic History\, and as a member of the Board of Trustees of the National Committee for US China Relations. She is an avid New York amateur flutist. \nNo registration required. \nMore details regarding the Schoff Memorial Lecture Series.\nEVENT DETAILS\n\nNovember 18\, 2019 \n8:00 PM-10:00 PM\n  \nAddress\n\nFaculty House\, 2nd Floor \n64 Morningside Drive \n  \nCosponsored by: Columbia University Press Event

SUMMARY:"Reporting Asia: Vietnam"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Bill Hayton\, Associate Fellow\, Asia-Pacific Programme\, Chatham House and  Nguyen Phuong Linh\, Southeast Asia Political Analyst\, former Financial Times and Reuters’ Vietnam Correspondent  \nModerated by Lien-Hang Nguyen\, Dorothy Borg Associate Professor in the History of the United States and East Asia\, Department of History \n  \nAbout the Reporting Asia Series \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAsia is in the news. Headlines are dominated by trade wars with China or the possibility of actual war with North Korea. Yet\, even while reasoned and nuanced reportage on Asia is urgently needed\, it has become increasingly difficult to do so. Growing illiberalism in different corners of Asia—from China to the Philippines—generate ever more obstacles to accurate accounting. Accusations of “fake news” are generously bandied about. And shrinking budgets cut ever more deeply in expensive\, overseas positions. Despite this all\, journalists and news correspondents remain committed to delivering responsible and trustworthy news from Asia.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis series features seasoned writers\, editors and journalists who have experience in reporting on different parts of Asia. Together they speak to the new and challenging environment which reporters and observers of Asia face today.\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers: \nBill Hayton is the author of The South China Sea: the struggle for power in Asia (Yale\, 2014) and Vietnam: rising dragon (Yale\, 2010) and is currently working on a book about the construction of nationhood in China. He works as a journalist for BBC World News in London. He was the BBC’s reporter in Vietnam in 2006/7 and spent 2013 advising Myanmar’s state broadcaster on reform and restructuring. He recently received a PhD from the University of Cambridge. \n  \nNguyen Phuong Linh\, after nearly 10 years in Vietnam as a local reporter and in Indonesia and the UK as a foreign correspondent for the Financial Times and Reuters\, recently moved to Singapore to work as a political analyst. She writes analyses for her company’s clients on political and regulatory risk issues in Southeast Asia\, focusing on Indonesia\, Myanmar and Vietnam. Linh also provides regular media commentary on political\, economic\, and security topics in Southeast Asia. She holds a master’s of science in Asian politics from University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies. Linh is a co-author of upcoming book “Almost home” (Youth Publishing House\, 2019) featuring young Vietnamese overseas who have been struggling in finding their identity. \n  \nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \nNo Registration Required \nFor any press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King at ak4364@columbia.edu
