Event Description:
Join us at 6pm, Monday April 27 at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace for a talk, in Chinese of course, by Prof. HE Fan of the Institute of World Economics and Politics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences on the topic of “The Political Economy of the Center-Local Relationship.” Prof. HE, this year on sabbatical with the Institute for New Economic Thinking in New York, will share his observations on the center-local relationship in Chinese history. What lessons we can learn from the emperors and their advisors? Prof. HE will also discuss the often mentioned yard-stick competition among local governments. How has this kind of competition driven China’s rapid economic growth in the last two decades? As a policy researcher in China, Prof. HE’s analysis is based on his close examination of the ecology of China’s politics and a broad background of history. This is a lecture not to be missed!
