SUMMARY:The Global Rush to Foreign Direct Investment Screenings
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join us for a lecture with: \nGiulio Napolitano\, Professor\,  \nRoma Tre University \n  \nModerated by: \nKarl P. Sauvant \nColumbia University Law School \n  \nIntroduction by: \nMaria Adele Carrai \nAssociate Research Scholar\, Weatherhead East Asian Institute \nMarie Curie Fellow\, KU Leuven School of Law \n  \nThe 20th century ended with a proliferation of global and regional free trade and investment agreements aimed at breaking down obstacles and barriers to the movement of goods and capital. Since the beginning of the 21st century and even more after the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008\, however\, things have begun to change. Foreign investment\, in principle\, continues to be welcome. However\, suspicions and fears about foreign investments have gradually grown. To this have contributed\, on the one hand\, the weakening of traditional financial\, industrial and social structures; on the other\, China’s increasingly ambitious economic and geopolitical expansionism policy. In some countries\, this distrust and fears have been wisely exploited at the political level and placed at the base of a more general neo-protectionist agenda\, as demonstrated by the experience of the Trump administration. How it possible to reconcile the objective of attracting foreign investments and thus promoting economic development with the need to protect national security and strategic interests? The Roundtable will answer this question by looking at the situation in the EU\, the US\, and China. \n  \nAbout the Speakers: \nProfessor Giulio Napolitano has been a Full Professor of administrative law at the Faculty of Law of the Roma Tre University in Rome since 2012 (where he holds a course in Comparative Administrative Law taught in English)\, after having been a full professor of Public Law at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Tuscia (2004-2008) and at the Faculty of Political Science of the Roma Tre University of Rome (2008-2012). He has also recently been teaching a course in Comparative Administrative Law at the Radzyner Law School of the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya\, Israel (2016)\, and the Faculty of Law of Heidelberg University in Germany (2017). He has also taught the Comparative Public Law course at the Global Law School of the Catholic University of Portugal’s Faculty of Law (2018). He is a member of the Governing Council of the International Society of Public Law and the Board of Editors of the European Review of Public Law. He authored a textbook on administrative law for university teaching\, now in its second edition (La logica del diritto amministrativo\, Mulino\, 2017)\, and over two hundred papers and journal articles published in Italian and international journals on general theory of administrative law\, public economic law\, market regulation\, EU law and sports law. \n  \nKarl P. Sauvant\, Ph.D.\, is Lecturer-in-Law at Columbia Law School; Resident Senior Fellow at the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI)\, a joint center of Columbia Law School and the Earth Institute at Columbia University; Guest Professor at Nankai University\, China; and former Theme Leader of the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development/World Economic Forum Task Force on Investment Policy. Prior to that\, until February 2012\, Dr. Sauvant was the Founding Executive Director of the Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment\, the predecessor of CCSI. Until July 2005\, Dr. Sauvant was Director of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development’s (UNCTAD’s) Investment Division\, the focal point in the UN system for matters related to foreign direct investment\, as well as a major interface with the private sector. While at the UN\, he created\, in 1991\, the prestigious annual World Investment Report\, of which he was the lead author and head of the team preparing the report until 2004. He is the author of\, or responsible for\, a substantial number of publications on issues related to economic development\, FDI and services (see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=2461782 and http://www.works.bepress.com/karl_sauvant/). In 2011\, he was elected Fellow of the Academy of International Business; in 2006\, he was elected an Honorary Fellow of the European International Business Academy. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1975. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \nNo registration Required \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nFebruary 24\, 2020 \n4:00 PM-6:00 PM\n  \nADDRESS\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 W 118th Street \n  \nCosponsored by the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment and the European Institute at Columbia University.

SUMMARY:People\, Animals\, and Island Encounters: A Pig’s History of the Pacific
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join for a lecture with: \nJordan Sand\, Professor of Japanese History\, Georgetown University \n  \nModerated by: \nJames Gerien-Chen\, Postdoctoral Research Scholar\,  \nWeatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University \n  \nThe event will be a talk on “transpacific empires\,” a new research interest of Professor Sand’s and the subject of an undergraduate/graduate student seminar he is teaching this semester. The talk will also be of interest to scholars interested in empire\, environmental history\, and transnational approaches to East Asian\, North American\, and indigenous social science and histories. The abstract follows below. \n  \nFrom Micronesians and Polynesians to Europeans\, Chinese and Okinawans\, when people first traveled to islands in the Pacific\, they brought domesticated animals with them. As food sources and as companions\, these animals had an important role in shaping island societies and in mediating encounters between travelers\, settlers\, and indigenes. This lecture will trace the place of pigs in encounters between these groups in Hawaii\, Ryūkyū/Okinawa\, and Japan\, from the time of the earliest settlement until after World War II. At the same time\, it will show how the ways travelers talked and wrote about domestic animals in other societies revealed their understandings of property\, freedom\, and human society. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nJordan Sand is Professor of Japanese History at Georgetown University in Washington\, DC. He teaches modern Japanese history and other topics in East Asian history\, as well as urban history and the world history of food. He has a doctorate in history from Columbia University and Masters degree in architecture history from the University of Tokyo. His research and writing have focused on architecture\, urbanism\, material culture and the history of everyday life. House and Home in Modern Japan (Harvard\, 2004) explores the ways that westernizing reformers reinvented Japanese domestic space and family life during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Tokyo Vernacular: Common Spaces\, Local Histories\, Found Objects (University of California Press\, 2013)\, analyzes problems of history and memory in the postindustrial city. Teikoku Nihon no seikatsu kūkan (Iwanami shoten\, 2015) examines colonialism in the Asia-Pacific through the lens of material culture\, bodily comportment and urban space. He has also written on the comparative history of urban fires and firefighting\, the history of Japanese food (including sushi\, miso\, and MSG)\, and topics in the study of heritage and museums. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \n  \nNo registration Required \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nFebruary 17\, 2020 \n4:00 PM-5:30 PM\n  \nADDRESS\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 W 118th Street

SUMMARY:Hong Kong in Turmoil: Defining the Contours of Sovereignty in China Today
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join us for a lecture with: \nAllen Carlson\, Associate Professor\, Cornell University \nJa-Ian Chong\, Associate Professor\, National University of Singapore \nVictoria Tin-bor Hui\, Associate Professor\, University of Notre Dame \n  \nModerated by: \nMaria Adele Carrai\, Associate Research Scholar\, Weatherhead East Asian Institute \nMarie Curie Fellow\, KU Leuven School of Law \n  \nThe current turmoil in Hong Kong and the tension between Chinese Central Government and the ex-British colony have to do with the definition of sovereignty. The transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong occurred at midnight on 1 July 1997\, when the United Kingdom ended administration for the colony of Hong Kong and returned control of the territory to China. However\, the sovereignty question started well before\, with the Treaty of Nanjing of 1842 that forced China to cede Hong Kong to Great Britain and that gave rise to the system of unequal treaties. Ever since a quest for sovereignty has characterized the modern history of China up to this very present. By bringing together leading scholars that have written about sovereignty in China\, the Roundtable aims at stimulating discussion and reflection about the legacies of history and the use and understanding of sovereignty in China today\, with particular reference to Hong Kong. \n  \nAbout the Speakers: \nAllen Carlson is an Associate Professor in Cornell University’s Government Department. He was granted his PhD from Yale University’s Political Science Department. His undergraduate degree is from Colby College. In 2005 he was chosen to participate in the National Committee’s Public Intellectuals Program\, and he currently serves as Director of Cornell’s China and Asia Pacific Studies program and advisor of its East Asia Program. Carlson is currently working on a project exploring the issue of nontraditional security in China’s emerging relationship with the rest of the international system. \n  \nJa Ian Chong is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the National University of Singapore. He previously worked at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington\, D.C. and the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies in Singapore and was a Princeton-Harvard China and the World Program fellow. Dr. Chong’s work crosses the fields of international relations\, comparative politics\, and political sociology\, with a focus on security issues relating to Asia\, China\, and the United States. He has particular interest in security cooperation\, major power rivalry\, and external intervention in domestic politics. Dr. Chong follows the interplay of social movements\, political liberalization and democratic backsliding\, and foreign policy in Asia closely. He is currently a visiting scholar at the Harvard-Yenching Institute where he is working on a project comparing regional reactions to US-China competition in East Asia. \n  \nVictoria Tin-bor Hui received her Ph.D. in Political Science from Columbia University and her B.SSc. in Journalism from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Hui’s core research examines the centrality of war in the formation and transformation of “China” in the long span of history. She is the author of War and State Formation in Ancient China and Early Modern Europe (Cambridge University Press\, 2005). She has also published “Toward a Dynamic Theory of International Politics” in International Organization\, “Testing Balance of Power Theory in World History” in the European Journal of International Relations\, “The Emergence and Demise of Nascent Constitutional Rights” in The Journal of Political Philosophy\, “Building Castles in the Sand” in the Chinese Journal of International Politics\, “History and Thought in China’s Traditions” in the Journal of Chinese Political Science\, and book chapters “How Tilly’s Warfare Paradigm Is Revolutionizing the Study of Chinese State-Making\,” “Cultural Diversity and Coercive Cultural Homogenization in Chinese History\,” “The China Dream: Revival of What Historical Greatness?”\, “Confucian Pacifism or Confucian Confusion?”\, “The Triumph of Domination in the Ancient Chinese System” and “Problematizing Sovereignty.” Hui also studies contentious politics. As a native from Hong Kong\, she has written “Will China Crush the Protests in Hong Kong? Why Beijing Doesn’t Need to Send in the Troops” in Foreign Affairs and “Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement: The Protest and Beyond” in the Journal of Democracy. She also maintains a blog on Hong Kong https://victoriatbhui.wordpress.com. She has extensively commented on Hong Kong politics in the media including the Washington Post’s Monkey Cage\, ChinaFile\, ABC\, the BBC\, the New York Times\, the Guardian\, Bloomberg\, Sky News\, NPR\, Vox\, and the Christian Science Monitor. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \nNo registration Required \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nFebruary 13\, 2020 \n4:30 PM-6:30 PM\n  \nADDRESS\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 W 118th Street \n  \nCosponsored by: Columbia-Harvard China and The World Program and the European Institute at Columbia University

SUMMARY:Killing the Chickens\, Scaring the Monkeys? Demonstration Effects from PRC Coercion and its Limits
DESCRIPTION:Columbia-Harvard China and the World Program Event\n  \nPlease join us for a lecture with: \nJa Ian Chong\, Associate Professor of political Science\, \nNational University of Singapore  \nModerated by: \nThomas Christensen\, Professor of International and Public Affairs\, \nColumbia University \nA common claim about PRC economic statecraft is that it aims to discourage states from engaging in behavior Beijing finds undesirable by visibly punishing third parties. However\, there is limited evidence about how such third-party punishment works\, particularly when states are more or less sensitive to such indirect demonstration effects. This talk seeks to address this question by examining the cases of the United Kingdom\, France\, Malaysia\, and Taiwan. We argue that states with experience of direct punishment tend to be more resistant to demonstrations of punishment toward third parties and more confident of their ability to navigate areas of potential friction. Even though our focus is on states\, similar reasoning about demonstration effects and their limits could apply to non-state entities as well. Our work here augments existing work on coercive diplomacy and economic statecraft tends to focus on the direct effects of threats and punishment and sometimes the audience costs the initiator faces. \nAbout the Speaker: \nJa Ian Chong is associate professor of political science at the National University of Singapore.

SUMMARY:The Emotional Topography of the Zainichi Memoryscape: Korean Ghettos in Postwar Japan Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join for a lecture with: \nSayaka Chatani\, Assistant Professor of History\, \nNational University of Singapore \n  \nModerated by: \nKim Brandt\, Research Scholar\, Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, \n Columbia University \n  \nA Korean ghetto existed in every large Japanese city in the early postwar period\, and up to the late 1960s. These ghettos provoke the same images and associations in Japanese people’s memory: isolated\, dirty\, impoverished\, and dangerous. To many scholars the existence of ghettos confirms the transwar continuity of Japanese oppression of underclass ethnic minorities. But zainichi Koreans who grew up in ghettos\, or tongne\, often offer a number of spectacular heroic stories about living there. This presentation switches the focus from Japanese society to Koreans themselves\, and discusses the important sociopolitical functions of the tongne\, along with its continuing symbolic meanings. By viewing tongne as a post-liberation place of origin for zainichi\, and by paying attention to the reproduction of its meanings\, we can gain a better understanding of the uneven terrain of power relationships within zainichi society. In particular\, examination of Korean ghettos in Japan helps to explain why the (pro-North Korean) Chongryun organization exercised great cultural power at least until the 1970s and still defines the emotional topography of the zainichi memoryscape. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \nNo registration Required \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nFebruary 11\, 2020 \n4:00 PM-5:30 PM\n  \nADDRESS\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 W 118th Street

SUMMARY:Xi Jinping’s long-term strategic vision and its implication for the American position in the world
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join us for a lecture with: \nHao SU\, Professor\, Department of Diplomacy; founding director of the Center for Strategic and Peace Studies\, \nChina Foreign Affairs University. \n  \nModerated by: \nAndrew Nathan\, Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science\, \nColumbia University \n  \nSince the modern times\, the world has undergone three waves of globalization. The first wave started from 500 years ago\, with the European countries connecting the world by means of the opening of new sea-routes\, the great discoveries of geography and the establishment of global colonial system. This is a linear globalization based on power. The second wave started at the end of WWII. The establishment of a series of US-led international institutions linked the world into a systematic international society. This is a flat globalization based on institutions. Nowadays\, the third wave of globalization is under way. The rise of emerging newly-economies from the developing world and the effect of economic globalization have brought about a trend of re-balance for the world economic pattern. This will be a tridimensional globalization based on governance. Facing the advent of this trend\, the Chinese government has proposed the “Belt and Road Initiative”\, in order to propel the network construction of both worldwide partnerships and regional integration\, with the purpose of promoting the realization of global governance. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nProfessor SU was awarded his B.A. in history and M.A. in international relations by Beijing Normal University and a Ph.D. in international relations by China Foreign Affairs University. He took advanced study in the School of Oriental and African Studies\, University of London in 1993-1995; and was a Fulbright scholar in the Institute of War and Peace Studies of Columbia University\, and in the Institute of East Asia Studies of the University of California at Berkeley in 2001-2002. He was a visiting professor in the Department of Peace and Conflict Studies at Uppsala University\, Sweden\, in 2004; at Bond University\, Australia\, in 2014; and Department of Politics of LUISS University\, Rome\, in 2015. \nHe was acting chairman of the Department of Diplomacy\, director of China’s Foreign Relations Section\, general secretary of the East Asian Studies Center\, and director of the Center for Asia-Pacific Studies at China Foreign Affairs University. He is the president of the Beijing Geopolitical Strategy and Development Association\, a member of the Chinese Committee for Council of Security Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific and the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council\, a board member of the China Association of Arms Control and Disarmament\, the Pacific Society of China\, the China Association of Asian-African Development Exchange\, and the China Association of China-ASEAN. His specialties are China’s foreign and security policy\, strategic studies\, international relations in the Asia-Pacific region\, and East Asian integration. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \n  \nNo registration Required \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nFebruary 10\, 2020 \n12:00 PM-1:30 PM\n  \nADDRESS\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 W 118th Street \n  \nCosponsored by the Columbia-Harvard China and the World Program.

SUMMARY:Rights Make Might: Global Human Rights and Minority Social Movements in Japan
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join us for a lecture with: \nKiyoteru Tsutsui\, Professor of Sociology\, \nUniversity of Michigan  \nDiscussant: \nAndrew Nathan\, Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science\, \nColumbia University  \n  \n  \nWhy have the three most salient minority groups in Japan – the politically dormant Ainu\, the active but unsuccessful Koreans\, and the former outcaste group of Burakumin – all expanded their activism since the late 1970s despite the unfavorable domestic political environment? Professor Tsutsui’s investigation into the history of activism by the three groups reveals that a key factor was the galvanizing effects of global human rights on local social movements. Drawing on interviews and archival data\, he documents the transformative impact of global human rights ideas and institutions on minority activists\, which changed the prevalent understanding about their standing in Japanese society and propelled them to new international venues for political claim making. The global forces also changed the public perception and political calculus in Japan over time\, catalyzing substantial gains for the minority movements. Having benefited from global human rights\, all three groups repaid their debt by contributing to the consolidation and expansion of international human rights principles and instruments. The in-depth historical comparative analysis offers rare windows into local\, micro-level impact of global human rights and contributes to our understanding of international norms and institutions\, social movements\, human rights\, ethnoracial politics\, and Japanese society. \nAbout the Speaker: \nKiyoteru Tsutsui is Professor of Sociology\, Director of the Center for Japanese Studies\, and Director of the Donia Human Rights Center at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His research on globalization of human rights and its impact on local politics has appeared in American Sociological Review\, American Journal of Sociology\, Social Forces\, Social Problems\, Journal of Peace Research\, Journal of Conflict Resolution\, and other social science journals.

SUMMARY:Ôe\, Africa\, and Mr. Delchef:  Non-Aligning Japan
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join us for a lecture with: \nChristopher Hill\, Associate Professor of Modern Japanese Literature\,  \nUniversity of Michigan \nModerated by: \nKim Brandt\, Research Scholar\,  \nWeatherhead East Asian Institute\, Columbia University \n  \nŌe Kenzaburō’s 1964 novel A Personal Matter begins with the protagonist looking at a map of Africa.  What does this opening scene have to do with the novel’s intrigue\, which involves a baby\, Soviet nuclear tests\, and a peculiar Balkan diplomat?  The beginnings of an answer are in Ōe’s work with the Tokyo-based Committee for African and Asian Writers and his contributions to its magazine\, Asia-Africa Bulletin\, which connect his most famous novel to a less known concern with the decolonization of Asia and Africa.  Professor Hill argues that A Personal Matter outlined a new way of understanding Japan’s positionality in the postwar world. In Ōe’s view\, the role of the Japanese state in the U.S.-Soviet confrontation defined Japanese intellectuals’ Sartrean “situation”—the position in which they had to act—but did not limit the non-aligned alliances with other parts of the world that they could imagine for themselves and the country.  On the contrary\, imaginative non-alignment and situated ethical and political action\, including opposition to atomic weapons\, supported each other.   \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \nNo registration Required \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nFebruary 5\, 2020 \n12:00 PM-1:30 PM\n  \nADDRESS\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 W 118th Street

SUMMARY:US-China-Japan Trilateral Relations and the East Asian Order
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join us for a lecture with: \nRyo Sahashi\, Associate Professor of International Relations\, \nInstitute for Advanced Studies on Asia\, The University of Tokyo \nCommentator: Gerald Curtis\, Burgess Professor Emeritus of Political Science \nColumbia University \nModerated by: \nTakako Hikotani\, Gerald L. Curtis Associate Professor of Modern Japanese Politics and Foreign Policy\,  \nDepartment of Political Science\, Columbia University \n  \nThe trilateral relationship among China\, Japan and the United States has generally been stable\, and it explained the regional order in East Asia since the 1970s. The trilateral relationship has been stabilized primarily by the stability of the US-China and US-Japan relations\, and secondly by the fact that American preponderance has been maintained and the commitment to Asia is certain\, with the remaining two parties formulating strategies on the basis of that balance of power. Although Japan-China relations have been repeatedly confronted and approached politically over time\, they have not shaken the trilateral relationship to that extent. Also\, in the area of regionalism\, the role of the United States has gradually become more important and contributed to the stability of order. \nNow\, however\, the fundamental conditions of the trilateral relationship are changing because of a shift in the balance of power\, a loss of confidence on American diplomacy\, and the overwhelming importance of the Chinese economy. Relations between the United States and China are described as an era of competition\, or as an era of confrontation. How will a change in the relationship between Japan\, the United States and China affect the order of Asia? What does good Japan-China relations mean? Is the Japan-U.S. relationship still strong?  \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Sahashi specializes on international politics in East Asia. His recent book is In a Search for Coexistence: the United States and Two Chinas during the Cold War (Tokyo: Keiso\, 2015). In English\, he recently edited Looking for Leadership: The Dilemma of Political Leadership in Japan (Tokyo and New York: Japan Center for International Exchange\, 2015)\, and wrote on the impact of rising China on Asian order\, Japan’s security policy and Japan-Taiwan relations. Now he is writing his next book on US-China competition and leading two group studies on the alliance and order after the end of the Cold War.  \nConcurrently\, he serves as Research Fellow\, Japan Center for International Exchange. He frequently contributes to NHK\, Nikkei\, Asahi Shimbun\, Mainichi Shimbun\, Yomiuri Shimbun and other major media outlets.  \nDr Sahashi has taught at Kanagawa University as professor until March\, 2019 and has been Visiting Associate Professor\, Walter H. Shorenstein Asia Pacific Research Center\, Stanford University and Shigeru Yoshida Chair\, Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM). He joined University of Tokyo with tenure from April\, 2019\, and concurrently\, Associate Professor\, Future Vision Research Institute\, the University of Tokyo.  \nHe also served as adjunct Senior Research Fellow at Sasakawa Peace Foundation\, Tokyo Foundation-German Marshall Fund of the United States Partnership Fellow\, and Guest Researcher for First Special Committee Research Office\, House of Councilors.

SUMMARY:Italy and China’s MoU on the Belt and Road
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nDUE TO TRAVEL COMPLICATIONS\, THE SPEAKER WILL PRESENT REMOTELY. \nPlease join us for a lecture with: \nMichele Geraci\, Former Undersecretary of State\, \nItalian Ministry of Economic Development \nModerated by: \nMaria Adele Carrai\, Associate Research Scholar\,  \nWeatherhead East Asian Institute;  \nMarie Curie Fellow\,  \nKU Leuven School of Law \nItaly was the first G7 country to sign the MoU with China on the One Belt One Road. It has attracted lots of criticism both from part of the domestic political parties and from Italy’s traditional allies in Europe and the US. Mr. Michele Geraci has been the main promoter of this MoU\, as a mean to boost trade since Italian exports to China and investment flows have lagged those of other European peers. Debt Trap\, selling of national assets and national security were mentioned as areas where Italy should be careful\, but with so many other countries joining\, formally or not the BRI\, the Italian government and Mr. Geraci have felt the need that more proactive trade promotion activity towards China was needed\, leaving unchanged its Atlantic and European alliances \nAbout the Speaker: \nMichele Geraci is former Undersecretary of State at the Italian Ministry of Economic Development\, responsible for Trade and Investment and the main promoter of MoU on Belt&Road between Italy and China (from FT: www.tinyurl.com/yx38cytx ). Prior to that\, he had lived for ten years in China where he analyzed the Chinese economy and held finance and economics teaching roles in various universities\, including Nottingham\, NYU-Shanghai and Zhejiang University. Prior to moving to China\, Mr. Geraci was an Investment Banker in the City of London and an Electronic Engineer for over 20 years. Immediately before taking his role as undersecretary\, he was named as a choice among four nominees for Italy’s Prime Minister. He is a frequent guest on major international media and has been awarded Italian Knighthood honor by Italian President Mattarella. He holds an MBA from MIT Sloan. \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \nNo registration Required \n\nEVENT DETAILS\n\nFebruary 4\, 2020 \n12:00 PM-2:00 PM\n\nADDRESS\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 W 118th Street \n  \nCosponsored by: European Institute at Columbia University\, Columbia-Harvard China and the World Program

SUMMARY:The House of Yan: A Family at the Heart of a Century in Chinese History
DESCRIPTION:SIPA Event\nPlease join for a lecture with: \nLan Yan\, Author \nModerated by: \nDean Merit E. Janow\, Dean of Columbia SIPA and Professor of Professional Practice International Economic Law and International Affairs \nColumbia University \n  \nThrough the sweeping cultural and historical transformations of China\, entrepreneur Lan Yan traces her family’s history through early 20th Century to present day. \nThe history of the Yan family is inseparable from the history of China over the last century. One of the most influential businesswomen of China today\, Lan Yan grew up in the company of the country’s powerful elite\, including Zhou Enlai\, Deng Xiaoping\, and other top leaders. Her grandfather\, Yan Baohang\, originally a nationalist and close to Chiang Kai-shek and his wife\, Soong May-ling\, later joined the communists and worked as a secret agent for Zhou Enlai during World War II. Lan’s parents were diplomats\, and her father\, Yan Mingfu\, was Mao’s personal Russian translator. \nInspite of their elevated status\, the Yan’s family life was turned upside down by the Cultural Revolution. One night in 1967\, in front of a terrified ten-year-old Lan\, Red Guards burst into the family home and arrested her grandfather. Days later\, her father was arrested\, accused of spying for the Soviet Union. Her mother\, Wu Keliang\, was branded a counter-revolutionary and forced to go with her daughter to a re-education camp for more than seven years\, where Lan came of age as a high school student. \nIn recounting her family history\, Lan Yan brings to life a century of Chinese history from the last emperor to present day\, including the Cultural Revolution which tore her childhood apart. The little girl who was crushed by the Cultural Revolution has become one of the most active businesswomen in her country. In telling her and her family’s story\, she serves up an intimate account of the history of contemporary China. \nAbout the Speaker: \nLan Yan was not allowed to enter higher education because her Communist family had been designated as counter-revolutionaries. In 1969\, she was sent to a re-education camp in Henan\, where her mother had been for a year. In 1977\, the year after the Cultural Revolution ended\, she enrolled at university. Exceptionally motivated\, she was awarded grants to study at the most prestigious universities in Europe and the United States. In 1991\, she joined the Gide Loyrette Nouel law firm based in Paris and became the first foreign woman to make partner. In 1998\, she returned to China to run the firm’s Beijing office. In 2011\, Lan Yan joined Lazard as managing director to lead its Chinese activities. Today\, she is the vice chairman of investment banking of Lazard and the chairman and CEO of Lazard Greater China (Beijing\, Hong Kong\, Taiwan). \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \nNo registration Required \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nJanuary 28\, 2020 \n1:00 PM-2:00 PM\n  \nADDRESS\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 1512 \n420 W 118th Street \n

DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join us for a Conference with: \nRabbit Goody\, Thistle Hill Weavers\nYuan Yi\, Columbia University\nJustin Squizzero\, The Burroughs Garret\nCarol Cassidy\,  Lao Textiles\nPamela Smith\, Columbia University\nTimothy Oakes\, University of Colorado Boulder\nKaruna Miryam Dietrich Wielenga\, Azim Premji University\nJacob Eyferth\, The University of Chicago\nEugenia Lean\, Columbia University \nCraft has long been understood in terms of its adversarial relationship with mechanization and industrialization. In industrial society\, where people live surrounded by machine-made\, mass-produced commodities\, craft has been relegated to the realm of “tradition\,” which belongs to the disconnected past. However\, what does craft mean in a postindustrial society like today’s United States? When manufacturing\, the long-time opponent to craft\, no longer constitutes a major economic sector\, what is the role of craft and what can we gain from it? These questions become even more critical now when on the one hand\, artificial intelligence threatens to encroach on human territory\, and on the other hand\, the senses of localism\, ethical consumption\, and environmental consequences are higher than ever. This one-day conference proposes to take advantage of this crucial moment as an opportunity to rethink craft both as a mode of production and as a way of living. By bringing together practitioners and scholars from Asia and the United States\, it provides a venue for an interdisciplinary conversation about craft\, technology\, and the economy.  \nThis event is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute’s 70th Anniversary Event and part of Science and Society in Global Asia series.\n. \nNo registration required. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nDecember 13\, 2019\n9:00 AM – 4:30 PM\nProgram details: \n9:30 – 9:45 Introduction \nYuan Yi\, Columbia University \n9:45 – 10:45 “Heavy Metal Weaving”: Between Craft and Mechanization \nChair: Yuan Yi\, Columbia University \nSpeaker: Rabbit Goody\, Thistle Hill Weavers \n10:45 – 11:00 Coffee Break \n11:00 – 12:30 Made in USA\, Made in Laos: Handwoven Textiles \nChair: Pamela Smith\, Columbia University \nSpeakers: Justin Squizzero\, The Burroughs Garret \nCarol Cassidy\, Lao Textiles \n12:30 – 1:30 Lunch Break \n1:30 – 3:00 State\, Craft\, and Intangible Cultural Heritage \nChair: Jacob Eyferth\, The University of Chicago \nSpeakers: Timothy Oakes\, University of Colorado Boulder \nKaruna Miryam Dietrich Wielenga\, Azim Premji University \n3:00 – 3:15 Coffee Break \n3:15 – 4:30 Roundtable  \nModerator: Eugenia Lean\, Columbia University \n  \nPlease visit the conference website by clicking here for more information about this program. \n  \nAddress\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 West 118th Street \n  \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Natalie Pretzer-Lin np2603@columbia.edu . \n*Your presence at this event indicates your willingness to appear in any photos or videos produced by Columbia and by pre-approved third parties.
