Corruption, Constitutionalism & Control: Implications of the 4th Plenum for China and U.S.-China Relations
The Kissinger Institute invites you join Professors Andrew Wedeman and Donald C. Clarke, two of America's leading experts on corruption and legal reform in China, for their read-out on the 4th Plenum and a discussion of the course of Chinese reform in 2015.
When:
November 25, 2014 3:00pm to 4:30pm
Where
The recently concluded 4th Plenum of China’s 18th Communist Party Congress focused on “governing the nation in accordance with law.” Reforms described in plenum documents seek to strengthen the institutional bases for economic and social reforms laid out at the 2013 plenum, and to build trust in the Communist Party’s ability to behave righteously and govern justly. Standards of righteousness and justice, however, like the meaning of “in accordance with law” and the status of the constitution, remain vague. The pace and direction of legal reform and the scope and methods of anti-corruption efforts, moreover, remain the sole province of the CCP, within which General Secretary Xi Jinping now exercises a singular influence. How will China’s attempts to rectify the Party and strengthen the legal foundations of its governance shape the nation during Xi’s tenure, and how should American leaders, corporations, and other institutions analyze and respond to Xi’s reform program?
The Kissinger Institute invites you explore these issues with two of America’s leading experts on corruption and legal reform in China. We hope you’ll join us for their read-out on the 4th Plenum and a discussion of the course of Chinese reform in 2015.
