| Policy Capacity Matters For Capacity Development: Comparing Basic Education System In India And China |
|
Yifie Yan
Special Lecture|7 January
|
| |
|
It is widely accepted that capacity development is central to development administration, but many of these initiatives have failed to demonstrate effectiveness in improving government effectiveness. This talk argued that capacity development should be built upon possessing the policy capacity to perform the analytical, operational and political functions necessary to make it effective. Drawing on the case of capacity development in the basic education sector through a teacher survey, not only does the study reveal an extensive system of capacity development practices in India (Delhi) and China (Beijing), it also shows that variations on different dimensions of policy capacity have led to significant differences in the effectiveness of such arrangements as perceived by teachers.

| China’s Financial Integration |
|
Anoop Singh
Wednesday Seminar |15 January
|
| |
|
Today, China has the largest banks, the second largest equity market, and the third largest bond market. The next decade is likely to be about China's financial sector integration with large implications for China and the world. The Chinese leadership has emphasized that China intends to further open up the financial system. However, the challenges to get there are immense, although a succession of measures has been announced over the past year. And, for China, further healthy development of its bond market will ensure that resources are channelled to the more productive parts of the economy and allow for a diversification of assets.

| Contesting Citizenship: Comparing 2019 Hong Kong With 1919 Shanghai |
|
Mark W. Frazier
Wednesday Seminar | 22 January
|
| |
| Many discussions of the ongoing Hong Kong protests draw parallels to those in Beijing in 1989. In today’s Hong Kong, as in 1989 Beijing, protests reflected grievances against the Chinese Communist Party and its leadership. But a fruitful framing of Hong Kong in 2019 can also be found a century earlier, in the protests that swept Shanghai in 1919. Both can be seen as part of a global wave of protest in which local economic grievances converged with widespread disaffection with political institutions. |

| Workshop on “Assessing Recent Initiatives To Promote China Studies In India” |
|
Madhavi Thampi
Workshop | 23 January
|
| |
| It is well understood that India needs to greatly strengthen its knowledge and understanding of China, particularly in the context of today’s world, through systematic encouragement of China studies in India. However, various assessments conducted of the state of China studies in India agree that we are still greatly lagging behind in this respect. This is in spite of the fact that different stakeholders have undertaken initiatives, particularly in the last 10 to 15 years, to promote or support China studies in India in a variety of ways. |
