East Asia Seminar Series

Description

The talk focuses on China’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign, initiated by President Xi Jinping. It presents background information on China’s existing corruption problems, and their causes and implications on the state governance system. In contrast to the popular view that regards such measures as part of a conspiratorial power struggle, the talk suggests that they address structural problems deeply rooted in the Chinese polity.

He has published 6 monographs, 5 edited volumes, and nearly 300 journal articles.
