Although Dirlik’s view on the relationship between Confucianism and the economic rise of Asia is not well-balanced, he keenly captures the question The concept of “ guoxue ,” which ceased to draw attention for more of how the rise in the market was closely associated with the deployment than four decades, was resuscitated almost overnight in mainland of Confucian doctrines as a means of making profit.

A Classicist Reading €¦ and Its Role in the Modern Worldâ

Can we take Chinese conservatism as our theme just like that? Aren’t we imposing a Western concept that only makes sense as part of the triad of Liberalism, Marxism and Conservatism in the context of 18th to 20th century Western intellectual and political history? Asking these questions is not an exercise in academic political correctness, but a necessary prerequisite for approaching the historical phenomenon of whathitherto especially in China but also in the West has been called modern Chinese conservatism. There are obvious reasons why using the concept of conservatism is at least worth a try. The term conservatismor what common dictionaries take for that, i.e. ֱᅜЏН or ᅜ៤ЏН-is being widely used in China. Hence, to engage with what this term means in China is not a futile exercise. Yet, to write about Chinese conservatism is not the same as to explorein the tradition of German Begriffsgeschichtewhat the meaning of the Chinese terms ֱᅜЏН or ᅜ៤ЏН is. iIt goes without saying that the analysis of what these Chinese terms mean has to be part of the application of the concept of conservatism to China. -
Wu Mi As a New Humanistic Translator Gang Wang
International Conference on Humanity, Education and Social Science (ICHESS 2016) Wu Mi as a New Humanistic Translator Gang Wang School of Foreign Languages, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou 510275, China. [email protected] Keywords: Wu Mi, translation, New Humanism. Abstract. Wu Mi, one of the chief cultural celebrities during the Republic Period, has been crowned with many titles, such as a poet, a master in Chinese classics, an expert in western literature, the forefather of China’s comparative literature and leader of the Critical Review School. However, his identity as a great translator has not been fully recognized in spite of the fact that he had been giving lectures on The Art of Translation for many years and had produced many translations that were not less significant than his academic writings. The crucial role of translation in Wu Mi’s academic life, together with the bearings of his unswerving belief in New Humanism upon his translations, has not been sufficiently dealt with among the limited researches that the past two decades have seen. In this paper, a short survey of what he had translated will be offered, and an analysis into why he chose to translate those specific texts will be made. The purpose is not only to demonstrate Wu Mi’s greatness as a translator, but more importantly, to show the close link between his translations and the New Humanistic ideal he embraced. Introduction Wu Mi, widely known during the Republican Period not only as a poet but also as the leader of the Critical Review School that stood in direct opposition to the radical Neo-Cultural School, is also famous for his erudition in Chinese classics and expertise in western literature. -
When Folk Dance Was Radical: Cold War Yangge, World Youth Festivals, and Overseas Chinese Leftist Culture in the 1950S and 1960S

This essay looks at the transformation of wartime yangge into PRC folk dance during the 1950s and 1960s and traces the international circulation of these new dance styles in two contexts: the World Festivals of Youth and Students in Eastern Europe, and the schools, unions, and clan associations of overseas Chinese communities in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and San Francisco. -

Policy Brief
Policy Brief 2009-PB-06a September 2009; revised April 2010 Unmet Duties in Managing Financial Safety Nets Edward J. Kane Abstract: Officials must show that they understand why and how the public’s confidence in the federal government’s ability to manage financial turmoil was lost. Leaders of the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission must face up to their institutions’ roles in an uncomfortable sequence of events. First, procedures adopted at private firms and federal agencies for supervising securitization activity at commercial banks, investment banks, and government-sponsored enterprises inappropriately shortcut due diligence by outsourcing the monitoring and policing of the safety-net consequences of potential defects in the securitization process to private parties. Second, when the adverse consequences of this imprudent arrangement emerged, officials falsely claimed that the difficulties that short-funded, highly leveraged firms were facing in rolling over debt reflected a shortage of market liquidity rather than a shortage of economic capital at key firms. Among knowledgeable parties, this raised severe doubts about the integrity and competence of the officials in charge of rescuing the industry. Finally, the panicky way that the Treasury and President recharacterized the nature and extent of the industry’s accumulated losses in September 2008 created an extreme urgency that subsequent delays in implementation revealed to have been dangerously exaggerated. That authorities and financiers violated common-law duties of loyalty, competence, and care they owe taxpayers indicates a massive incentive breakdown in industry and government. What is needed is a thorough-going reorientation of: (1) how regulatory agencies report both on their performance and their interactions with Congress and the Administration, and (2) the contract structures and performance measures that determine how top managers and top staffers are graded and paid, not only in the financial industry but in government as well. -
Transcending Victimhood: Japan in the Public Historical Museums of Taiwan and the People's Republic of China

The main focus is on the permanent exhibitions of the modern history wing of the National Museum of China (NMC; formerly the Museum of the Chinese Revolution), which finally reopened in 2011 after almost a de - cade of refurbishment, and of the National Museum of Taiwan History (NMTH), which opened in the same year. It discusses how mu - seum portrayals of Japan reflect divergent public discourses on national identity. Through examining the relationship between mu - seums and the apparatus of the Chinese state (ROC and PRC), the first section locates the NMC and NMTH in their bureaucratic and political contexts. -
Enforcements in Financial Disputes: a Case for An
ENFORCEMENTS IN FINANCIAL DISPUTES: A CASE FOR AN INTERBANK AWARD CLEARING FRAMEWORK Mohamed Raffa U1320615 A Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of East London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Law Supervisors Dr. Iwa Salami University of East London Law Department School of Business and Law 2 Abstract Resolving disputes resulting from high speed and fast-moving financial transactions has become an essential requirement for the stability of global financial markets as proven by previous crises. In the 2007 crisis, millions of investors ended with worthless investment agreements. The public did not believe they could pursue claims in state courts and had no faith in the operating regulatory systems. Delays in the enforcement of compensatory awards drained the concept of justice of its meaning. Bankers were bailed out instead of being made to pay for acts of recklessness, information asymmetry and mis-selling. The result was panic and a run on investment banks and the financial crisis ensued. The question is whether an arbitration process that guarantees immediate payment of arbitral awards can accelerate recovery from a crisis and alleviate the burden on state bailouts using taxpayers’ money? Empirical research show that enforceable and swift dispute resolution for financial disputes can establish certainty in the financial markets and assist in deterring imbedded acts of moral hazard within the financial sector. This in turn will impede the main ingredient for financial crises generated within the financial institutions sector and reduce the possibility of recurrences of financial crises such as that of 2007/2008. -
WU Mi's Education and Thoughts
Sino-US English Teaching, February 2015, Vol. 12, No. 2, 117-122 doi:10.17265/1539-8072/2015.02.005 D DAVID PUBLISHING WU Mi’s Education and Thoughts LI Min-yan, CUI Yan-qiang Southwest University, Chongqing, China In China, WU Mi is a well-known poet, educator, and classical scholar. Honored as the father of the study on China’s comparative literature, he was one of the earliest scholars who systematically applied the theories of Western literature and the method of comparative literature to research A Dream in Red Mansions. In his early life, he was enlightened by the Guan school (a school of Neo-Confucianism), and later he studied in the U.S. where he was deeply influenced by Irving Babbitt’s new humanistic thought. Throughout his lifetime, he advocated the thought of having a thorough knowledge of both China and the West, and devoted himself to the cultivation of “well-informed and refined” qualities. In fact, WU Mi’s thoughts owes greatly to the education he received in his childhood. This paper focuses on the investigation of the study life of WU Mi so as to find out the reasons behind his achievement of having a thorough knowledge of both China and the West. Keywords: WU Mi, education, influence, comparative Introduction With a solid academic foundation and broad vision, WU Mi (1894-1978) was very knowledgeable and had a thorough knowledge of both China and the West, the ancient and the modern. He had not only profound foundation of Chinese classics but also systematic attainment of Western classics. -
