China, the Global Order, and Two Ages of Rising Powers: Comparing and Contrasting the World of 1900 and the World of Today  |  Dec. 14, 2017, 18.30 h  |  University of Duisburg-Essen, SG Building, Geibelstr. 41, Room SG 183
This 28th Käte Hamburger Lecture in cooperation with the IN-EAST will take place at the IN-EAST School of Advanced Studies.

Jeffrey Wasserstrom will place China’s resurgence and the way it is altering the international order into historical perspective. Unlike what is often done, the lecture refrain from revisiting the era of the Silk Road or the late Ming or early Qing eras. Instead, Jeffrey Wasserstrom will compare and contrast the situation today with that at the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century when China’s situation was at a low point and the powers on the rise included Japan, Germany, Russia and, above all, the United States.

Jeffrey Wasserstrom is Chancellor’s Professor at the History School of Humanities, University of California, Irvine (UCI).
Discussants: Prof. Flemming Christiansen, Political Sociology of China, IN-EAST; Dr. Yu Jie, Head of China Foresight, London School of Economics and Political Science

Brazil Exporting Social Policies: From Local Innovation to a Global Model  |  Mon, Oct. 23, 2017, 15–17 h  |  Room SG 183, Geibelstr. 41, Campus Duisburg
Importation of foreign models is part of Brazil’s institution building story, owing to Portuguese colonialism, the presence of European countries, and the dominance of the United States, until the past century. After the transition to democracy and the New Constitution of 1988, the scenario started to change. The country developed important social policy innovations that rose to a national scale when the Workers Party (PT) took office. These innovations started to spread globally, and international organizations such as the World Bank and the United Nations began to recommend Brazilian social policies to developing countries. Examples of the “Brazilian way of social policy-making“ that have been transferred to different countries are Participatory Budgeting (PB), the Family Allowance Program (PBF) and the National School Feeding Program (PNAE). How did Brazil move from importing foreign institutions to becoming Southern countries’ reference on social policies?
The main argument of this article is that Brazil, while building itself as a rising power over the last two decades, developed new patterns of policy transfers that have so far been overlooked by the literature. By analyzing the engagement of the country on international diffusion of social policies, it was possible to identify different mechanisms that facilitate transfers. These involve a quest for international legitimacy, the role of “policy ambassadors“, the joint efforts of different national institutions, the reversal of relations with international organizations, the occupation of international positions in institutions, an policy transfer costs.
This article presents the results of research developed with qualitative methods, that gathered data from fieldwork that included 150 interviews, participant observation in more than 10 countries, and a set of official documents.

Regional Culture, Entrepreneurial Talent, and Institutional Change: Evidence from private firm allocation in China  |  Mon, June 19, 2017, 14.00 h  |  Room SG 183, Geibelstraße 41, 47057 Duisburg
This study explores the long-term stability of regional entrepreneurial cultures over extended periods. We employ provincial panel data from China documenting the regional distribution of entrepreneurial activities during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) and private firm activities in 1992–2012. The estimations confirm a significant association between the regional distribution of historical and current measures of entrepreneurship, supporting: 1) the long-term stability of distinct cultures, even with disruptive political changes; and 2) the adaptability of entrepreneurial activities to changing institutional arrangements and relative payoff structures. These results are robust to numerous alternative explanations, including geography, agglomeration advantages, education, and technology.
