the current state of affairs in China
Leading scholars of China at Yale will take part in a panel discussion on Monday, April 14, that will explore issues related to the country's changing society, economic and legal reforms, international relations and possible role as a new member in the World Trade Organization.
The discussion, titled "China Under a New Leadership: Domestic Policies, International Relations and Legal Reforms," will take place 4:30-6 p.m. in Rm. 211 of Linsly-Chittenden Hall, 63 High St. Sponsored by the Yale College Chinese Partnership Program (CPP) and the Yale Center for International and Area Studies (YCIAS), the event is free and open to the public.
"Following the 16th Chinese Communist Party Congress in late 2002 and the recently closed National People's Congress session, the People's Republic has experienced its first smooth leadership transition in its history, at a time of continued economic growth, relatively stable domestic politics and multilateral international relations," notes Xizhou Zhou '05, a CCP member and one of the conference organizers. He says the conference will address such questions as: "What has happened in the past in relation to China's current situation? What can this new leadership bring to this country and the world? What do the new themes set forth in these two Congress sessions mean to us? Where is this country heading to and how is it going to have an influence on other parts of the world?"
The panelists are Deborah Davis, professor of sociology and vice-president of the Yale-China Association's board of trustees; Paul Gewirtz, the Potter Stewart Professor of Constitutional Law and director of the China Law Center at Yale; Charles Hill, diplomat-in-residence in International Security Studies at YCIAS; Pierre Landry, assistant professor of political science and an affiliate of the Research Center for Contemporary China; and Jonathan Spence, Sterling Professor of History and president of the American Historical Association.
The CPP is an undergraduate organization established to inform the Yale community about China, the Chinese language and culture, and about the nation's current society.
