Politics and Prosperity in a Changing China with the Stanford Club of Singapore
- Sunday, 11 July 2010
Date: Sunday, 11th July, 2010
Time: 5:30pm - 7:00pm
Venue: The American Club
10 Claymore Hill
China's economic miracle is creating wrenching social changes that create very real challenges of governance. How serious are these challenges? Which of them might cloud China's future, and which of them are fading in importance? An economically dynamic China offers tremendous opportunities to companies in Singapore, and to successfully negotiate this environment it is vital to understand China's challenges. We're fortunate to have two Stanford professors who joining us in July to share their insights on exactly these topics.
Andrew Walder is the Denise O'Leary and Kent Thiry Professor in the Department of Sociology at Stanford, where he is also a Senior Fellow in the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI). He is also director of the division of international, comparative and area studies. His current research focuses on changes in the ownership and control of large Chinese corporations and the parallel emergence of a new corporate elite with varied ties to state agencies. Professor Walder has a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.
Jean Oi is the William Haas Professor in Chinese Politics and director of the Stanford China Program and Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. Her current research focuses on fiscal politics and migration and their impact on grassroots governance, along with research on corporate restructuring and governance in East Asia. Professor Oi has a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan
You're invited to join fellow alumni to learn more about the fast-changing corporate environment and changes in grassroots politics in China from these experts, along with hearing the latest developments at the Stanford China Program in Beijing. To reserve your space, please send this reservation information to Richard Hartung at rlhartung@stanfordalumni.org or Liew Weylin at liewweylin@gmail.com by 6 July 2010. For more information, please contact Richard at 9695 8210.
