Historians know very little about the movements of silver within China for all of the Qing dynasty and yet some understanding of them is crucial for appreciating how the country fitted together as a monetary whole. They also mattered to the development of currency and banking in the last decades of the Qing dynasty and paved the way towards the economic boom described by Marie Claire Bergere as the “golden age of the Chinese bourgeoisie”. Set in the longer term, was that boom really a bubble financed by loose credit? Going forward into the 1930s and 1940s, was it surprising that runaway inflation eventually took over?

This talk examines the everyday practices of citizenship in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. Based on an ethnographic fieldwork in a rural village along the North Korean border, I introduce the concept of “performative state presence” to comprehend how residents and officials navigate China’s political landscape. I will discuss how citizens utilize state symbols to legitimize their claims for rights, and how the state reciprocates with gestures of care to ensure loyalty. Ultimately, this presentation highlights how borderland ethnic minority communities use these performative acts and navigate between distinct layers of the state to carve out a space within the Chinese nation.

在本演讲中，作者提出三个新概念：结构行政主义、公共行政视域下的人工智能、智能行政生态主义。演讲以这三个新概念作为基础，展开全部内容的分析和论证。作者认为，工业文明语境下，以马克斯·韦伯理性官僚制为理论根基形成的结构行政主义，长期占据现代公共行政的主导范式地位。数字文明时代到来后，分布式智能治理技术的全域嵌入与深度应用，从技术基础、社会结构、治理需求与权力逻辑层面彻底颠覆了结构行政主义赖以存续的现实前提，其层级壁垒固化、运行流程僵化、条块分割明显、治理弹性不足的内在短板被持续放大，传统行政范式面临全方位理论危机与实践困境，呈现出被人工智能系统性解构、渐进式衰落的发展趋势。作者系统梳理结构行政主义的历史演进逻辑、时代生成必然性，深度剖析人工智能时代结构行政主义遭遇的现实挑战，立足数字治理现代化目标，从理论建构、组织重构、技术支撑、制度革新、能力转型、价值重塑六个维度，提出智能行政生态主义公共行政新范式的系统性构建路径，并认为这是数字文明时代的必然选择。搜索“大学沙龙”Youtube频道收看讲座。

We are pleased to invite you to a thought-provoking discussion that explores China in Africa paradigm in a comparative perspective with India. While much attention has been centered on China in Africa and Global China as a lens through which to examine changing patterns of investment and infrastructure in Africa, this panel puts the China in Africa paradigm in a comparative perspective with India, which has longstanding commercial and trade ties with East and South Africa. This online panel, co-sponsored with the Heilbroner Center for Capitalism Studies of The New School, will assess Indian and Chinese engagements in Africa through the lens of technology transfers, skills upgrading, educational exchanges, and knowledge flows. Participants will explore patterns of expertise and technology transfer, higher education partnerships, cross-border research collaborations, and supply chains, among other forms of engagement between Chinese and Indian organizations with African counterparts Register here.
